prevails along the East river, but the wa

on the water.
Pool SELLING Considerable dssatis-
faction is felt among turtmen regarding
the action of the managers Of the State
Fair in refusing to allow pool selling on
the grounds AS it is impossible to prevent
this practice ii has been suggested that the
selling Of pools be confined, AS last year,
to particular spot, and allowed only I'M
der suitable regulations. This would pre-
vent any Inconvenience and annoyance to
the lady spectators from the talk and con-
fusion always attending the making up of
pools. Bangor Commercial
