THE STATE FAIR.
The Clio sing Races and Last of the Pre-
rniumS.

The State Fair closed Saturday evening and
success. The opening weather was unfavora-
BILE but that of the last three days was all that
could be desired The exhibition of stock,
horses and manufactured goods was excellent;
and Judging by the success of this and former
exhibitions held here, there is no doubt that the
Fair will be permanently held in this city for
the future. Our thanks are especially due to
Messrs. HI. l.. Osgood, Dennison, Chadwick,
Bradley and Col. Kicker, for favors rendered.
The races drew some $500 people to the Park
in the afternoon. During their progress sew
eral little interruptions occurred. In scoring
for the third heat, Ira Woodbury. of this city,
who was driving Anodyne, sprung an axle. In
hesecond heat of the $50 class, Wanderer
threw a shoe, and in the fourth heat Frank B.
sprung an axle making new sulky neces-
sary. The judges were John S. Head of Port
land, VIM. R. Field of Brunswick and Edward
L. Cobb of Deering. The following is the
