exhibition of the Maine State Pathological So
ciety was opened to the public in the Town hall
this evening. The exhibition, which is the Sec
ond successive one held at this place, opens un-
der very favorable auspices and with unusual
fulness, and the number of exhibit, in the dit
ferent departments show rapidly increasing in
terest in the cultivation of fruit and flowers
among the people in the state. The number
and value of the premiums, which reach the
sum of $1100, no doubt do much towards
swelling the exhibit. The length of the season
has affected very favorably the show of grapes
which, with pears, is of unusual merit and size.
The flowers, though not all entered, promise a
large display. Among the new features this
year not strictly genealogical, is a large display
of art pottery from the Portland Stone-ware
Company, which attracts much attention. The
exhibition continues four days, closing Friday.
