The Fair nj T0psha

Several of the county shows held in Maine
this fall have had the poor success that attend
ed the State fair, and from the same cause
the untimely rain But tina. at Topsham last
week was happy exception. Good weather
prevailed and large crowds were attracted to
the grounds and to the hall. The attendance
was never better, and the success OF the So
ciety financially must have been great.
We had the pleasure of visiting the fair on
4 the last afternoon. Many of the articles in
the hall had been removed, but there were
many things remaining worthy of exarnina-
tlQn. We will specify few. OF wheat there
was a most excellent show, demonstrating
that this has been grand year for the culti-
walton of that cereal. Samuel l.. lIolbrook
of Brunswick exhibited ''Lost Nation" W heat,
one half acre yielding at the rate of 80 bush
els an acre. VIM. ii. Patten ofTopsham, ex-
h;bited specimen of "Arnantka" wheat; John
White of Bordoinham, specimen of wheat
y (sowedif five acres) A. b. Williams Of West
Bath, specimen of wheat raised on land plant
ed to corn last year-l7 bushels from 80
square rods; Isaiah Jordan, Brunswick "Lost
Nation" wheat. Vegetables and other agri-
cultural productions were quite profuse and
told of careful cultivation and favoring wealth
ser. w. H.Colby and j. M. Sanborn of Bow
doinham, had on exhibition some big beets,
but not near so large as those raised by the
Greeley party in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Geo. M. Patten of Topsham, and L. Hunt of
Brunswick, showed fine seed corn. w. w.
Knight 'ot Durham exhibited specimens of
fair sized sweet potatoes raised in his garden.
Geo. +. Strout had box with about forty
apartments, containing as many different va
rieties OF beans. And then the sweet butter,
the huge cheeses and other products of the
