OUR COUNTY FAIR.
The Races Given Up and the Fair
Closes.

The Cumberland County Fair closed last
evening The first two days the weather was
all that could be desired, but even the attend
ance was NOT what it should have been, and
the wet weather of the last two, with no signs
of clearing decided the officers, yesterday, on
declaring all the races, not trotted off, and the
fair ended. In the afternoon all the stock,
horses and implements wers removed from
the Park.
In the evening there was light attendance
at the City Hall. The Yarmouth Band
played splendidly, as they have done through
out the fair, and are entitled to the credit of
affording as good music as could be desired.

washing machine, and the Portland Fish Pack
ing Association favorable mention for their
goods.

the only large dealers in fancy good who made
an exhibit. Thanks are also due to Mrs. Hat
tie Staples of Turner, Mrs. Martha Coffin and
Miss Eta K. Pope of this city, who arranged
the exhibition in Reception Hall, and had en-
tire charge of it.
The committee desire all who have goods at
the hall to be there as early as possible this
morning, as they wish to clear the hall as
quickly as possible.
Although the success of the fair, this season,
has been limited, the managers have taken
enough to pay all premiums and propose next
year to have an exhibition worthy of the city
and county.
During the present fair upwards of sixty new
life members have heen enrolled, and more
will be solicited to a.
