FOURTH DAY-FRIDAY.
On THE GROUNDS.

about half-past ten o'clock. The following
pairs made trial of strength on a drag load
ed with stone weighing 1898 pounds Crowel
Bckford of West Waterville, horses weigh
ing 1850 pounds. w. w. Pease of North
Arson, two pairs, weighing respectively 240O
and 1000 pounds. A. & w. Sprague of Au-
gusta, pair weighing 22oO. Horace Wood
man of Saco, Normandy horse, weighing 1000
pounds.
The horses made a most superior and salts
factory exhibition of strength, hauling the
drag " it'll ease distance of eight rods and
back, with brief breathing spells. The large
white Normandy horse started the heavy load
several rods alone, to the great surprise of
those who thought it a foolhardy attempt to
put the horse to the drag. Bickford and
Pease tried their double teams on the drag
with the addition to the load of twelve men,
averaging in weight about us pounds, and the
teams accomplished the task of hauling the
load with all the additions that had been made.
1t was fine exhibition of strength.
At eleven o'clock, the Secretary of the So
ciety, S. L. Boardman, Esq, read list of
the premiums that had been awarded by the
various committees. Those we give below
