Cairns, Principal. The Bacd Concert and Drama. The Chilliwack Dramatic Society, as sisted by the Silver Cornet Band, gave two capital entertainments during tbe Fair week. The play produead for the lirat time in Chilliwack was entitled Tony, the Convict," in five acts, and proved a decided hit, as tbe house was crowded to suffocation on both nights, in fact on the second evening several late arrivals were unable to obtain admission. Mr.

Love, who has taken so much active interest in the Society, took the principal character of "Tony," playing the part with great expression. The intense interest in tho play was kept up to the very last, the audience shewing by loud and constant applause bow highly it appreciated the various scenes and characters. The Society fully de served the bumper houses it rsceived, as the various parts of tbe play had been carefully studied and rehearsed. East Chilliwack. from our own correspondent Quite a number of English pheasants have been seen ou various farms in this locality.

There is a heavy fine, we believe, for the killing of these birds. Those who may be tempted to do so should bear this in mind. hope our farmers will encourage tbe propagation of them, and a little grain would not be much missed iu feeding them during the winter months, particularly when they have so increased in numbers as to allow of their being shot for tbe table. Mr. as Giuson bas the coutract for.

tbe erection of a residence for Mr. Cremer. in place of the oue lately de by tire. Councilman Andy Smith is about to erect a large grainery ou his premises. Mr.

Smith's crops, this year, are very heavy, Mr. Jas. Patterson, who has been on a Government job on the Horse Fly starts ou a nunticg and trapping expedition for the winter months. Mr. Patterson reports hunting prospects good.

The season there bas been very dry, and lots of the country over run with fires. Mr. Robert Kerr has the frame for a large two storey residence erected on his property ou the Trunk Road. Mr. Kerr bas seltcled a somewhat higher elevation east of where the old residence stood, which will, when completed, have a much pleasauter appearance when viewed from tbe road.

The Umatilla. Seattle, Sept. 30. Tbe devel opments so far to day regarding the wreeked steamer Umatilla are not im portaut. The incoming steamer captains who passed the ship say that her posi vessel shows above water.

They say last lion is easy and the greatest part of the night's accounts were exaggerated and believe tbe vessel will be patched up and floated easy enough. Jotn F. Tow bridge, the steamship company's Puget Sound agent, is still with the vessel The divers will attempt during tbe day to learn the extent of the damage to tbe bull. Tbe Seattle Evening times has re ceived the following special from their correspondent at Port The steamship Umatilla is still resting easily near the lighthouse at Point Wilson. Tbe heavy swell and brisk breeze this morning prevented the divers from making thorough examination of the bottom of tbe vessel.

The place where the vessel grounded and stove in her bottom is not Sea Lion Rock, near Libby Rock, as has been stated, but is the extreme end of a rocky promeatory extending out from Riley's Place, one mile from here Tbe vessel's injuries are directly under the fire room, where several plates have been wrenched off. She is full of water astern tip to the white work, oovering the tables In tbe dining room, and all perishable freight bas been transferred from the steamer to this place. Tbe Umatilla is in no danger from storms. Shocking Suicide. Cairo, Oct.

The 24th Annual and Industrial Exhibition a Great Success. Wednesday morning (preparation day) opened rather showery, but to wards noon the weather cleaved up and exhibitors began to bring in their ex hibits in one continued stream, tbe Society's officials being kept very busy, especially tbe President (Mr. Paisley) and the indefatigable Secretary (C. B. Reeves), who were on duty notil long after midnight.

Thursday, after the fog cleared away, the weather was and as the hour for the formal opening approached the grounds were well tilled by the numerous visitors and the neighbouring farmers with their families. The Presi dent, in a neat speech, opened tho Fair, and tbe crowd serged into the Hall, which, cousidering tbe dry season and the partial failure of the fruit erop, was a very creditable display. The dairy exhibit was unexceptionably good, aud we noticed that several tirst class prizes had been awarded to Mr McGillivray, junior, who took his diploma at the Guelph Royal Agricultural College. Tbe various exhibits of dairy butter were very tastefully got up and arranged and a decided improvement oa last year. The Eden Bank Creamery had a grand display and their fine tubs of butter looked exceedingly tempting.

The Union Cheese Factory shewed several fine cheeses and have deservedly come to tbe front both at home and abroad. The splendid exhibit of honey by Mr. J. S. Smith attracted great attention, so beautiful and clear, that no wonder it is known throughout tbe Dominion.

The ground floor of the Hall was de voted chiefly to tbe display of grain and roots, the centre tables being beautiful ly decorated with Hewers. Up stairs there was a very fine dis play of fruit, the plums hardly up to last year, but the apples and pears were shewn in endless variety. A plate of maguificeot Crawferd peaches, grown, by Mrs. Harrison of the Harrison House, attracted great attention, as they were equal to any California fruit. The ex hibits of jellies and preserves deserved much praise, the former looking as elear as tbe finest wines.

The ladies' depart ment attracted great orowds of the fair. sex, who expressed tbeir admiration of the fineness of some of the needle work. Tbe outside grounds and buildings were arranged similar te previous years. I he poultry swiae, but tbe show of tnrses we think was net up to former years, more espe cially drivers and saddle horses. The exhibit of Jersevs we think would be hard to beat in tbe Province; cows from the very best sfains and of undoubted pedigree were in the ring, and proved couclusively the popularity and value of this breed for dairyiug purposes.

The swine were exceedingly good. Mr. Wilkinson exhibited an aged Berkshire boar aud sow that have taken upwards of 40 prizes throughout the East, and are truly wonderful examples of what care and breeding will accomplish, Friday was a grand day. the grounds being well filled before 11 o'clock, the great attraction being the school competition for the banner prize, wen by the Sardis school, under the able command of Mrs.Templer and Miss Hig giuson. The children went tbro' tbeir various evolutions with great spirit and accuracy considering tbe short time they bad bad to get up tbeir drill and the extreme youthfulness of some of the rank and file.

The athletic games and bicycle races all came off as advertised with the ex caption of the football match, the local elub being greatly disappoiutod at tbe non arrival of tbe Vancouverites, who, we betieve, bad arnnged to come over and play a match with our boys. However tbe club chose two sides and had a ratliug game. The tug of war, whites v. Indians. created great excitement, and a roar of applause followed the victory of tbe whites, who In former years were usu ally vanquished by tbe red men.

Taking the Exhibition of 1896 as a whole and considering the depressed times aud tbe uphill fight several of our farmers have bad iu this valley, it fully equalled the Society's expectations as regarding the entries and exhibits, but the outside attendance was not as good as anticipated, aud we think tbe threat ening weather, especially on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, may bave influ enced many friends from tbe coast to give up their trip. The several officers connected with the Society deserve every praise for the untiring efforts they put forth toenhan ce the success of tbe Fair. Tbe Presi dent and Secretary especially devoted a great deal of their time to working up the details. The Citizens' Celebration Committee had no siuecure, and thro' their capital arrangements the programme of sports was carried out without a single bitcb The C. T.

U. engaged their usual room on the grounds and catered most liberally to their numerous patrons and visitors. Space prcoludes ns from giving n.ore than a condensed report of the opetuug and the various exhibits, also a list of the ohief visitors from otner points, but we hope to do so in a later issue.
