over until to-day. The arrangements made
promise very successful exhibition if there
is fair weather during the resi- of the week.
Mr. John B. Bates will act as marshal in
place Of the gentleman first announced, who
is unable, it is understood to give his time to
the fair as completely as he would be COM
PEELED to, if he were to act. The display Of
sheep and cattle :promises to be very fine,
many of the stalls are already occupied and
many more entries will be made this morning.
OF agricultural implements the display prom
Uses to be very large. John j. Frye has al
ready on exhibition his plows as well as other
inventions of interest to the farmers Ken
dali & Whitney will make a fine display, as
they are accustomed to. The Center Draft
Mower Company have their machines on ex
hibition. A. L. Dennison has the Walter A.
Wood, and T. F. Davis the William Anson
Wood mowers, and other machines, such as
rakes and harvesters, and the many admirers
of both will look at the new improvements
with interest. George Blanchard and Brothers
exhibit the Oliver Chilled Pillow, c. G. Robin
son and G. E. Whitney exhibit carriages,
while Of improved cider mills, the farmers
can choose between the several varieties on
exhibition by Geo. Blanchard & Bros, and
Kendall & Whitney. OF sheep there were
some fine specimens exhibited yesterday by
G. F. Libby, Portland, S. S. Drew, Cape Eliz-
abeth, land Sturgiss & Bracket. Of course the
trotting will be the great feature of interest to
many, and it is to be hoped that the track will
be in good condition to-day, in which case some
close work will be put in, and the attendance
it is expected will be very large. The Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union have re-
freshment tent on the ground and the coffee
served yesterday was about the only cheerful
feature of the opening day.
