CUTLERY.
Our German friends, Ulmer & Heir, shows
to the patrons of the fair what kind of people
they are in the cutlery line. Their display in
ciudes knives, shears, scissors and razors of
marvellous keenness, and as for quality-why,
bless you, it is A with dot
DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS.
This part of the fair was painfully small, a
marked contrast to the large picture galleries
we had in former years, but such as were there
have been in at previous fairs with few excep-
tons, and we pass by on the other side like the
Levite, stoppi ng only to notice new name, E.
T. Talbot, Jr., who shows some fine oil paint
lngs, and two other entries that look like char
coal sketches
BREAD AND CHEESE, (BUr NO KIssEs)
Household Injuries come under the same re-
mark of painfully small, few lonely loaves
under the gallery stairs, have lain in solitude
the past week waiting for the merciless judges
to pass sentences on their doughy heads. There
ATE several entries of cheese from the factories,
and few products of the farm. In the line of

SEWING MACHINES.
The usual lot Of these articles were to be
seen under the western gallery, where their
agents were very willing to show the merits of
each machine to all seeking information.
Everybody came away convinced that all had
received the only gold medal at the Paris and
Vienna Exposition, and that there was nothing

chine With such settled opinions our COM
panies may now look out for large trade this
fall.
PORTLAND CEMENT DRAIN COMPANY.
Ii any one wishes to have pure outlets for the
refuse matter of their dwelling houses, they all
go to this reliable firm, who need no public no
tice. But to such as know it not, they have
exhibited few of the products of their MAUI
factory, which for durability and excellence are
gaining a lasting reputation.

This closes our somewhat cnrsory inspection
of the annual display of goods at the Maine
State Fair. We have possibly overlooked
few names and neglected to notice some exhib.

pardon u.s. To err is human, and to forgive is
real gayphus. We will not speak of some
monuments that were there, because they
speak for themselves; we forbear mentioning

to cure every evil that ferh is heir to, and
seven more besides, because such thing must
recommend itself. 1t can't help it! We will
not tell of certain ironing board that is the

such innate virture can not remain in obscur-
