Amusements and Music First Class Organization Wins. The Business Men's Committee and the officers of the Agricultural Society may congratulate themselves on taking the iirst step in raising that organiza tion from death to life. Yale Fair was dead, but now liyes again. There wa9 not vigor enough left to decently bury the remains. Now it is a healthy or ganization, and with management, organization and eilort, such a9 the gentlemen in chargo have put forth on tit is occasion, Yalo Fair must come to bo a credit to the village and surround ing community. It is useless to say that mistakes were made. I'ntil men are eo near perfec tion, that they need but wings to bo translated to the world beyond, tiiey must continue to make mistakes. Hut, withal, it has been fully dem onstrated that this organization can bo saved to lale. Wo congratulate those in charge, and especially the young business men of this village for the enterprise, energy and ability they have shown in placing Yale's Fair in a way to live. Ily commencing in time another Reason and continuing these efforts all defects will be overcome, all deficiencies provided for and future success assured. Wo want a business men's committee eyery year. There is no doubt about that. FAIR NOTK.. James McColl. treasurer of the Association, discharged his duties in an efficient manner. K. II. Fuller A Co. may be the latest firm on the Yalo business Held, but they wasn't a bit late in the parade at the fair. The Fair ha9 come and gone but not so with the fair ones who attended it. They are hereto stay and bloom the year round. Miss Letta Meharg superintended W. II. Ballentine's nice display of cloaks and furs in the northwest corner of the building. Dan Foley the goodnatured presi dent of the Agricultural Association was present and appeared as lively as a Juno cricket. That "Swing into Ballentine's for Bargains" was just too lovingly lazy for anything. In tho parade it form ed a taking object. As a plumed Knight in "a band, II. O. Babcock, of iSanilac Centre, is a suc cess. The uniform and the man ex actly fitted each other. Among tho Sanilac Centre band boys wo noticed the stately stepping figure of Bob McKenzie. Bob is getting to be some on tho blow. Amidst the rcd-coatcd looters from Sanilac Centre, who tooted it up so lively for our fair, we noticed the Daw son brothers, Dell and Ed. Mrs. J. C. llolden, on the south sido of tho building made a grand exhibit of cloaks and goods for tho ladic9 which attracted much attention. When you attempt to beat the hack lers on a parade outfit, just remember that you nave started out to beat Scot land and not make the attempt. Lealio Silyerthorn had on exhibit some very lino specimens of his handi work in harness. Leslie is a first-class workman and was glad to show his work. The hotel men did a slashing busi ness tho last day of tho Fair. Kven Marshal Wilson's Hotel "Bastilo" was patronized. John had one involuntary boarder. Dots of buggies and rigs on exhibi tion, but nary a one of home manu factures. Morc's tho pity. Yale ought to have moro manufacturing establish ments than she has. Doelle A Cooper's wagon was a long way from tho rear of the procession, and the line piano carried was made to discourse sweet music to the as sembled thousands. The monster druggist's sign which Will Dennon had in the parade at the fair grounds was just as taking as it was tall. Nothing could havo been more expressiye of the art. Tho entries at the Fair were not as numerous as the managers desired; but the turn-out and tako in at the gates was amazing, especially on the afternoon of the second day. What's the matter with tho patent right men? The Yale Fair was conspicuous by their absence this year. V. II. Palmers patent farm gate was the only exhibit of that class on the grounds. T. II. Parkinson with commendable enterprise reminded the fair people that good footwear was an imperative necessity and conducive to good health. He had a lino 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 Hub's band would bust ff Fred should drop out, but wo do know there would be an awful hole in it. We are not finding fault but simply giving you a problem in proportion to solye. If, in accordance with number, the farmers had put as much stuff on display as tho merchants, how big would the Yale Fair bo? The now stone crusher lately bought for Yale and vicinity was in operation on the Fair grounds and attracted much attention. It seems to bo able to eat stone as fast as three men can pitch them into the mouth. The Fort Huron and Sanilac Centre band9 discoursed sweet music upon our streets and at tho fair grounds. Thanks, boys. We appreciate your kindness and will be gUd to return the toot when we get our horn. The fair managers should be grateful to W harton A llolden and Mclntyre A Harris for their line display, had it not been for the enterprise of those two firms that part of the ground would have been a howling waste. And did you see the wee "Soger boye," in tho Putney A Chamberlain car at tho fair? They were cute, and the great car so profusely decorated in pa triotic colors made us feel as if a man-of-war had come sailing around on dry land. Did you notice the climatic effect of the "Hot Blast" stove that llutton had in the parade? A lady bought a stove of this linn the other duy ami it actual ly made the house comfortable with out kindling a tire it it, or even setting the stoye up. Putney A Chamberlain's cosy show on the corner in the exhibition build ing showed the hand of a special artit in it's get up, and drew from the crowd many admiring glances towards the rear end, especially where the large mirror was hung up. It was difficult to move about the fairgrounds without running amuck of tho fraternity. The Times, X Bays, Bepublican and Sunday herald were all represented. It seemed for a time that reporters wero going to bo more plentiful than pumpkins. A first class game of base ball was played on the Fair grounds yesterday. Tho Memphis team played the Yale boys. The game was hot from first to last and one of the best of the season. Memphis carried oil" tho laurels, win ning the game by a score of 4 to a. The "Hoys in fJray" from Port Huron, did some lino 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 a pair of bob sleighs 7,040 pounds of stone. The sleighs weighed 1.2C0 pounds, so that the total weight moved was 8,900 pounds, which is equal to 150 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 tho 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 I forgot the rest." Doelle A Cooper, mindful of this poetic sentiment, liad on exhibition some of their line instru ments and furnished the fair visitors with somo delightful strains. Miss May Fitgcrald and Miss Mabel Moore being the artists. Wo heard some ladies say "I would not bo married on the fair grounds for the best range on earth?" Tho reason is plain. They have not yet found the man brave enough to make the sacri lice. Some women seem to be very particular. Perhaps they aro waiting until they cross over and can catch angel husbands who can be easily sup ported. Thev say Mclntyre A Harris and Wharton A llolden each took a string of buggies to tho fair parado and that Pierco was so intent upon seeing his beautiful faco mirrored forth in their shining finish that he forgot to charge the usual feo for buggies atthegato. We only give this as hearsay and in tend no rejections on the good-looking gate-keeper. Robbed tho Crave. A startling incident, of which Mr. John Olivet of Philadelphia, was tho subject, is narrated by him as follows: "I was in a most dreadful condition. My j-kin was almost yellow, eye3 sun ken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite gradually growing weaker day by day. Threo doctors had given me up. Fortunately, a friend advised trying "Electric Hit ters;" and to my great Joy and surprise, the first bottle made a decided improve ment. I continued their use for three weeks, and am now a well man. I know tkey saved my life, and robbed the gave of another victim." No one should fall to try them. Only 50o per bottle at Grant llolden's Drug Store. A FAIR PROPOSITION !
