Special mention may be proper of some individ

r. E. Peavy of Fryeburg skillful taxider
mist, exhibited a fine collection OF birds, pre-
pared and m >unted by himself A. r. Jenness
of the same town added much to the value oil
the stock department by his entries OF pure
blood and high priced swine-some OF them OF
| ths well known Joseph Harris strain. a
| fine span of hor;es from Mr.. Hayes of New
| Hampshire, and the large colts of Messrs. Bal
lard & Walker were qaite noticeable Miss
| Lillian Ingalls, of Denmark, in a skilful and
| ladylike manner exhibited her trained two year
old colt Minnie, of which she has had the entire
| care and training since its birth-driving it
around the course iu gig-ordering 1t to obey
the word, to come and go, and to lie down when
directed. Among the vegetables thirty or forty
samples of seeding potatoes were shown by
Messrs. Barrows Burbank and Barker-some
of them of the third generation from the potato
ball A fine specimen of Waterloo oats, weight
43 lbs to the bushel from E. P. Lamson, Con-
way, N. Fl. Peanut vines, fresh and green
with the ripe nuts attached, from E. W. Bur-
bank. Fryeburg.
The exhibited of fruit was quite remarkable
superior to the display at the average State
fair. Tie Isabella, Delaware, Hartford, Clin-
ton and Concord grapes were ripe and large
the latter having the preference Of sEhbitors.
There We're seven plates of pears, and more
than a hundred of apples, of all the we'll known
and standard kinds. Maple sugar and syrup
were of excellent quality, and the samples nu-
merous The thirteen PACKAGES of butteH and
six of cheese. deserve special notice-as well as
the table filled with bread aud cake. In the
department of household manufactures, and
needle work and fancy articles, time would fail
should we attempt description or enumeration,
although they were worthy of both. Probably
many deserving contributions fail to be noticed
merely from lack Of space.
