The Portland daily press., 1883-10-10

This fair was exception to the general
rule in that it was successful in getting out q
large attendance without races, which is ex-
plainable by the tact that admission was free
everywhere.
The exhibit In the hall of the spacious P. &
o. building in the grove was highly creditable.
The products of the field, the garden and the
orchard we're displayed in great abundance, as
we'll as those of the household and dairy, with
MANY quaint ouriosities and rare bits OF native
art.
The Irving House, cosy hotel, near the
lake, kept by Mr.. A. j. Swift, formerly OF
Portland, afforded capital dinner to Its for
tunate patrons.
