The Sebago Lake Fair.

The annual fair of the Gorham and Standish
Farmers Club was held at Sebago Lake on
Tuesday. The weather was all that could be
desired, and the farmers and their friends
enjoyed good social holiday The show Of
stock was not as large as some years, but the
exhibition of farm products, &c., was very
good. We would speak especially of the fruit
aud corn OF the former there was enough to
fill two tables the length of the hall, and its
quail ty was excellent.
The display OF corn was the finest ever saw
at any fair. There were over twenty entries,
and the committee found it very difficult to
decide which should have the preference.
The vegetable department was also vel
filled with splendid potatoes. large beets, and
turnips, and huge pumpkins and squashes.
The LADIES' department was not very full, but
there were some fue specimens of fancy work,
&c.
One good feature of the fair was the absence
of drunkenness. The cider vendors came early
in large numbers, well supplied aud prepared
to do good days work. Soon after they got
we'll under way, some of the "Iron Clads"
went to them and persuaded them to stop
selling for the day. The result was they did
stop, and as consequence there was no drunk
enness during the day Those reformed mon
who were instrumental in bringing this about
are entitled to much credit for their pluck and
moral courage, and for the good accom- pllshed
1t certainly was source of much pleasure to
the better portion of the community.
