County Fair

- ~ouhAg A@AACuAAuAat ~
ciety held their S5th annual Fair last
week on their grounds just east of the
city, and it proved to be as successful
as any fair they have held. Wednesday
was, OF course, entry day and no re-
cepts were expected; Thursday being
Childrens' and Carnival day brought a
good attendance probably the best sec
ond day ever had, while Friday was
chilly, and though the crowd was great
thousand or two more could have
found standing room had the weather
been warm and pleasant. The cold rain
Thursday night had a depressing effect
on most every body and particularly the
circus and other tent fixtures and ma
ehinery strewn over the grounds. 1t
was q toss up whether rain should con-
tinue4during Friday, but although the
clouds held together during the morn
ing they broke away in the afternoon.
The race track was in good condition
and the events came off with the usual
amount Of eolat,
/ A new feature was Holland & Nc
Langhlin's circus, who pitched their
tents within the grounds, but they found
ii hard work to complete with the star
attraction for the stray quarters of visit
ors. They had an excellent band, and a
good show for the money, but the fates
were against them. Wednesday they
could do nothing but sit on their horns
of dilema aud whistle; Thursday was
not much better as nearly every body
went out to see the trades carnival and
that only; Friday the free show out side
seemed to be worth a good deal more.
As the clown sarcastically remarked
when some of the audience clambered
on the top seats to look over the tran
som at the racing going by "Oh, come
in and look OUT
The main exhibition hall and annex
were well filled, and as rule the dis
plays were very fine A fair, however,
is Far, and the big pumpkin reigns
supreme. The exhibit of blooded stock
was good, and their parade Friday
afternoon attracted good deal of at
tention. All our farm machinery men
had fine displays, and fully equipped
steam thresher hummed through the
day. The Trades Carnival was finer
than that given several weeks ago, a
full description of which was published
in the HERALD at the time, a few fine
banners being added while the costum es
were about the same. The parade was
led by the British Hollow and Potosi
band, which also played throughout the
fair.
Altogether the fair was very well
handled and quite as successful finan.
cially as last year, the extra grand stand
facilities and attendance on Thursday
making up for the bad weather of Fri.
day. The society have one thing to
learn. however, in regard to compli.
mentaries. They should cover all the
courtesies or be abolished that is the
rule everywhere. To charge to turn
around after once inside the gate at
taches string to the favor that is not
complimentary to the recipient. He is
a guest of the society and as such mus
enjoy all the privileges; if he drives the
team is allowed entrance, or the invi
tation is not meant.
The racing was good and although
the three year old colt event did no
materalize owing to lack of entries, thu
others made up in interest, with the fol
lowing scores.

ntpr. Hetttnrer,s Death.

The Catholic Church in Germany has
sustained severe loss by the death Of
Mgr Hettinger, Professor of the Uni
versity of Wurzburg and Domestic Prel-
ate of the Holy Father. Mgr. Hettin-
ger was not only a learned man but a
devoted child of the Church, and he
leaves reputation without a blemish.
He was the author OF a large nuD.@sr
of theological works, the best known
and most successful of which is The
Apology of Christianity" book which
has been translated into various Lam
guages. In 1868 he, had the honor OF
being called to Rome to engage in the
labors preparatory to the Vatican Coun-
Gil. and it was on this occasion that the
Holy Father testified the esteem in
which he held him by appointing him
. prelate of his household. 81

THE MISSION.
lncalculable Good Games from the Spirit
II

lncalculable Good Comes from the Spirit
ual Keawaksning.
What mission means is well-known
in every Cotholic parish in the land. 1t
is time of special grace, when the
multitude throw aside the cares Of the
world, flock to the church, and devote
themselves wholly to the salvation of
their immortal souls. What a great
work a mission is in one Of the large
city parishes is best illustrated by a
reference to the devout congregation
that fills the church at the o'clock
Mass in the morning
Not only do the hundreds assist at
Mass, br.t they intently listen to the
instruction that follows. So they begin
the day of the mission and the blessed
commencement makes happy their
thoughts, fruitful their actions. In the
evening the crowds gather again
in church, say the Rosary, hear
the sermon preached by one of
the missionary Fathers and close
the day by assisting at the hene
diction of the Most Blessed Sacra
ment. They do not forget in the course of
the mission to approach the Sacraments,
the numbers here offering the most edi-
flying sight witnessed during the Holy
time. The regular COMMUNICATE is seen
and by his side perhaps a brother who
for years has not tasted Of the Bread of
Life. The pious parent, and the child
who has returned to the house Of his
Father are seen together, as we'll as the
devoted spouse who kneels beside her
protector. who had so long forgotten
the divine injunction !: ''Unless you eat
of My flesh and drink Of My blood you
shall not have life everlasting.
Incalculable good comes of these
days of spiritual reawakening, and
more than one house should bless the
good missionary Fathers who bring
peace and happiness whore desolation
once reigned supreme.
