| SPECIAL NOTES.
Mason Bros. of Norway occupied n
large portion OF the first floor of the hail
with display of their agricultural imple-
ments, dairy machinery aud stoves. The
Lewiston Journal makes an error In cred
iting them with an implanted sleigh.
That was exhibited by Mann Bros. of
Milton Plantation, an enterprising firm
OF young men, recently located ut that
place.
+. c. Merrill had his usual line OF Agri-
cultural Implements, but Is making n
special run on the o. X. Plow.
S. Richardson & Co., the old and estab-
lshed hardware firm OF So. Paris, exhib-
tied fine show case OF carpenters planes.
These tools are the best made and cover
every variety In size, style and price.
Near them S. =. Maxim & Son exhibited
a full line OF their goods, moulding, blinds,
ladders, sashes, rubber paint, sc.
W. ]. Wheeler had a large exhibit OF
musical instruments in the upper hall. We
understood thatlhe had the oa'y display
OF that kind this year.
J. IL. Barrows OF West Paris had a
dozen OF his Shaker chairs on exhibition.
They were occupied by visitors most OF
the time so they could not be seen very
WELL but many could testify TO their ease
and comfortable qualities. Mr.. Barrows
has made 5000 OF these chairs during the
past year and hopes to double the product
next year.
So. Paris Furniture Co. exhibited fine
ash chamber set and one painted set.
Their work Is all honest, and Of the best
kiln dried lumber warranted not 10 shrink.
Eugene LIbbey of Norway had a writing
desk of scroll saw work, which was very
elaborate in design, and good piece OF
saw work.
J.K Chase of oxford, showed a splen
did line of photographs. Many Of them
were finished In new styles. la one, the
figure reposed in pure white maple leaf
We are surprised at the variety and excel
lence of Chase's work.
J. L. 7. Burnham had some of his inap-
proachable views, sun pictures, cabinets
and cards. Among them we noticed a
copy of his already famous picture of
Blaine.
y. II. Perry of South Paris showed Il
fine collection of Oxford County minerals,
a stock Of which he keeps on hand and for
sale. Close beside them was clock whose |
case was composed entirely OF minerals.
It is the property of S. Richards, jr., Of SO. !
Paris.
The display of fruit was very fine. Among |
the largest exhibitors was Lemuel Quincy
Of Hebron. He had forty three varieties
on the table Mr.. Quincy is an expert
euced, intelligent and successful orchard |
list.
W. W. Durham, propagation and dealer
in Native Grape Vines, North Paris, had
twenty three varieties Of grapes on exh!-
bition. He raises some fity varieties
among them all the latest and most famous
varieties. He also showed some varieties
of foreign grapes, raised under glass by
an enthusiast in Auburn. Mr.. Durham
was generous with his grapes, and we can
commend them from taste as well as from
sight.
The ladies' department was full OF fue
work; but there were so many articles we
must wait for the premiums to account for
them all.
David Woodbury. of Paris had on exhi-
bition large number Of gladious bios
SONS. They were all from hybridized
stock, fertilized by himself. They attract
ed great amount OF attention, and were
from bulbs such as he advertised last
spring. Thursday he brought in several
pots Of hybridized geraniums. These he
also raised from seed fortified by himself.
Several of the plants displayed three dis
tinct varieties both in leaf and blossom.
Mr.. w. takes great pride in his flowers
and finds pleasure in originating new va
rieties.
There were more cattle on the ground,
and of better stock than we ever saw there
before. 1t is pleasure to note the i'm
provement in stock by the introduction Of
thoroughbreds. Among the largest exhib-
itors was n. W. Millett Of Norway. He
had twenty -six head on the ground, entered
in two herds, Of IA and r. One Of these |
was entirely Of his own raising. He runs
