neEse crowds IL Mas atiracte'l 10 the
village, and the last one WAS no ex-
ccption to the rule. The weather
was all that its promoters could de
sire. The display, though perhaps
not as large as in former years, yet
III quality and variety 1t was snperi-
or, noticeably SO in the stock and
vegetable departments. The fruits
and cereal exhibitions were very ime,
vet not enough competition. In
the agricultural department, Ander-
son q Co. made very fine display,
and Cobb IL Comstock did equally
as well. These enterprising firms
need every encouragement in plac-
ing all these modern farm nipple
ments before the farming commun-
ity of this section. j. ID. Grinnell,
our home manufactures, exhibited
the only celebrated Wilkinson plow
manufactured in Michigan, which
received many words of praise from
those who are best able to Judge, as
well as the first honors. His display
Of harrows and cultivators was also
creditable. w. III. Harris, of Old
Brockway, had on exhibition q fine
line of his justly celebrated top bug
gies, of his own manufacture, which
were well deserving of first prize.
but through some technicality III the
prize list, were unjustly ruled out.
Our townsman, Il. Darcy, exhibited
his handsome, oil finished wagon,
with walnut box, it being a model
of workmanship and carried off first
prize. The Upton traction engine
and separator, manufactured in Port
Huron, were two noticeable features
among the exhibits. Those who ex-
hiblted thoroughbred stock are:
John p. Sanborn, Port Huron; Dan
iel Foley, Emmett; Robert Shut,
Capac, and our townsmen, Howell
and Orser. In floral hall, Il. S. Pat
tersop, of Port Huron, furnished
plenty of music with two fine or
gans, and also exhibited the Domes-
tic and Victor sewing machines,
which are considered the best; H. j T..
Kuhn made a display of harness
and robes: Hall & Co., of Port
Huron, exhibited handsome line of
cloaks: Wear 81 Co. our home mer-
chants, had a very fine exhibit of
ladies and gents shoes; III. Il. Leon
ard, hardware and cutlery; G. +.
Crook, q case of stuffed birds; Misses
Kittie Carol and G. Boice, of this
place, made good displays of milf
merry and fancy goods. But we are
compelled to say, and regret it, that
our townsmen did not take the IN
tercst they should in the fair, and
hope they will see to this another
year. The officers of the society
proved themselves worthy of their
positions. The following is partial
