The display of fruit in jars attracted much
attention. Some lots we're particularly deserv-
ing of mention, among which was dozen or
more jars of uniform size, containing sweet
corn, peaches, berries Of several kinds, toma-
toes, exhibited by Mrs. W. R. Sturdevant of
West Falmouth Mrs. A. F. Kingsley of Deer.
ing, Mrs. Mary A. Cloush of Cumberland, Mrs.
G. A. Blanchard Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. E. w.
Merrill exhibited samples equally worthy Of
mention.
A sleigh, a model for ne atness of finish and
style generally, was exhibited by Ed. Cobb of
South Gray. A skeleton wagon exhibited by
Cobb Bros, of Deering, was most creditable to
their skill.
The enterprising firm of Kendall & Whitney
contribute their quota to the fine exhibition.
The fine Cotswold sheep of Gen. Mattocks,
attract much attention, and the fine specimens
that he has exhibited of various kinds of fine
bred animals and poultry, gives him place in
the front rank of stock breeders in this county.

exhibits set of spoon moulds, used in the rev.
dictionary war for the manufacture Of pewter
