CUMBERLAND COUNTY FAIR.
Opening Day and Light Attendance.


Yesterday the weather was very favorable
for the opening of the exhibition at Presump-
scot Park. The attendance, throughout was
not large, not exceeding in the afternoon prob

impression that the track would not be in good
condition after the heavy rains. 1t was found,
| however, to be in excellent condition, thanks
to the brisk northerly winds and bright sun
shine. Additional entries have been made In
all departments particularly in that OF ag' /
cultural implements. Here the display is very
fine. The great variety of moving machines,
tedders, cultiyators, horse rakes, hoes, &C., en-
