We also made q tour Of the hall. The
exhibit was very small, compared with
that made, yearly, at the Oxford County
fair, but we noted some fine quilts, one
said to contain over 5000 pieces, and some
nice outline tides. The fruit exhibit was
also small, there being but 4S or 80 speci-
mems shown. This Is not fruit growing
section. A few specimens Of poultry were
placed In the hall, but competition In this
line has not led to such fine birds and neat
pens as are seen In sections where "poul-
try shows" have been held. Sewall N.
