SUCCESSFUL SHOW.
CLOSE OF TIE SCARBoRO AND CAPE
ELIZABETH TOWN FAIR.
Some More Good Races Yesterday.

Auo ldlr Ol inc FARMERS Association OF the
towns of Scarboro and Cape Elizabeth closed
yesterday and marked the most successful ses
sion in the seven years existence of the society.
1t was beautiful October weather, but where
SO many people came from as were assembled
upon the grounds at Pleasant Hill must re-
main mysterious question. The assemblage
was large in the forenoon to see the trials of
strength by the draft horses, two of them driv-
en- by ladies. In the afternoon to see the races
there wers not less than three thousand.
But We will continue our notes upon the peo-
pie present.
The show of fancy articles and needle work
in the hall was excellent, and demonstrated
that the ladies of the two towns do not confine
themselves wholly to making butter and pre-
serves. We only regret that lack of snace for
bids mention of the many pretty things seen
there, With the names of the fair maker. But
as all cannot possibly be mentioned we think
it advisable to mention none
