The Yale expositor., 1898-09-23
YALE. County. 1898.

numerous as the managers desired
but the turnout and take in at the
gates was amazing, especially on the
afternoon of the second day.
What's the matter with the patent
conspicuous by their absence this year
the only exhibit of that class on the
grounds.
L. III. Parkinson with commendable
enterprise reminded the fair people
that good footwear was an imperative
necessity and conducive to good health
He had II fine show of his goods in
that line.
A good thing at Sanilac Centre is
never complete without Fred Benedict
We can't say that the Hubs band
would bust if Fred should drop out,
but we do know there would be an
awful hole in it.
We are not finding fault but simply
giving you problem in proportion to
solYe. If, in accordance with numbers,
the farmers had put as much stuff on
display as the merchants, how big
would the Yale Fair be?
The new stone crusher lately bought
for Yale and vicinity was in operation
on the Fair grounds and attracted
much attention. 1t seems to be able
to eat stone as fast as three men can
pitch them into the mouth.
The Port Huron and Saniac Centre
bands discoursed sweet music upon
our streets and at the fair grounds.
Thanks, boys. We appreciate your
kindness and will be glad to return the
toot-when we get our horn.
The fair managers should be grateful
to Wharton d Holden and Mcintyre &
Harris for their fine display. Had it
not been for the enterprise of those
two firms that part Of the ground
would have been bowling waste.
And did you see the wee "Soger boys"
in the Putney q Chamberlain car at
the fair? They were cute, and the
great car so profusely decorated in pa
triotic colOrs made us feel as If man
of-war had come sailing around on
dry land.
Did you notice the climatic effect of
the "Hot Blast" stoye that Hutton had
in the parade? A lady bought a stove
of this firm the other day and it actual
ly made the house comfortable with
out kindling fire III it, or even setting
the stoye up.
Putney IL Chamberlain's cosy show
on the corner in the exhibition build
ing showed the hand Of a special artist
in it's get up, and drew from the crowd
many admring glances towards the
rear end, especially where the large
mirror was hung up.
1t was difficult to move about the
fair grounds without running amuck
of the fraternity. The Times, Y RAYS,
Republican and Sunday Herald were
all represented. 1t seemed for time
that reporters were going to be more
plentiful than pumpkins.
A first class game of base ball was
played on the Fair grounds yesterday.
The Memphis team played the Yale
boys. The game was hot from first to
last and one of the best of the season.
Memphis carried off the laurels, win
ming the game by score of 4 to 3.
rhe "Boys in Gray" from Port
Huron, did some fine work in their
drill at the fair grounds. They are
fine looking lads. If any one doubts
our editorial judgment on good looks,
let them ask the hundreds of young
ladies who know and will corroborate
our word.
Gus Wilt took the prize in the draw
ing match at the Fair. His team drew
on the bare ground of the race track
upon pair of bob sleighs $40 pounds
of stone. The sleighs weighed 1850
pounds, so that the total weight moved
was 5000 pounds, which is equal to
$50 bushels of wheat.
AS the parade passed by the crowd
on the fair grounds and you noticed
the fine display in "The products of
The Yale Woolen Mills" Were you
not proud of the products. and did
you not feel that the Yale Woolen
Mills is something that would make
any village proud?
"Music hath charms to soothe the
savage breast, break stones, and-and
| forgot the rest" Doelle & Cooper,
mindful of this poetic sentiment, had
on exhibition some of their fine instru-
ments and furnished the fair visitors
with some delightful strains. Miss
May Fitzgerald and Miss Mabel Moore
being the artists.
We heard some ladies say "I would
not be married on the fair grounds for
the best range on earth?" The reason
is plain. They have not yet found the
man brave enough TO make the sacri-
flee. Some women seem to be very
particular. Perhaps they are waiting
until they cross over and can catch
angel husbands who can be easily sup
ported.
Thew say Mcintyre e Harris and
Wharton d Holden each took string
of buggies to the fair parade and that
Pierce was SO intent upon seeing his
beautiful face mirrored forth in their
shining finish that he forgot to charge
the usual fee for buggies at the gate
We only give this as hearsay and in
tend no reflections on the good looking
gate-keeper.
