Fair at Standish.

Fair at Stand1Sh.
The Gorham and Standish Farmers Club
held their annual fair and cattle show at STAN
dis. October II. The Steep Falls band
was present and furnished enlivening music.
The day for the most part was all that could
be desired A shower at p. m, caused some
to hasten home,
All classes of exhibitions were unusually
large, especially the display of flowers by Miss
NJ. Bradbury, which was in front of the hall as
one enters. The taste with which they were
arranged and the size of the collection added
much to the appearance of the room.
The affair concluded with grand ball at
Town Hall in the evening. Chandler fur.
nished the music. About forty couples were
in attendance and all went home feeling well
pleased with the day thus spent
