Gcrham and standish Fair.
Tuesday occurred the rwenty-second annual
exhibition by the Gorham and Standish Farm
ers' Club, and in all respects it was a great
success. The weather was fine, the crowd
fair sized one, there being 1000 present, and
! very orderly. The exhibit of stock upon the
| ground was very good indeed. The herd of
| jerseys owned by W. M. Libby drew the most
attention. Among the steers and oxen there
were many nice looking pairs, the heaviest of
which was yoke of 4 year olds weighing
1900 pouuds, owned by Joseph W. Knight.
The exhibition of strength showed the teams
we'll disciplined, and perfect readiness to do
all in their power.
At the hall the display was highly creditable
to the association and its friends The Davis
sewing machine was ably shown under the
direction of w. f. Chase, assisted by eompe-
tent operators. There were many articles
| worthy OF mention. the handiwork of the
| young ladies especially, and the quilt by Mrs.
| Marshall Higgins, containing nearly 1000
| pieces. Mrs. O. Paine shows . quilt that has
been in existence more than 125 years; Mrs.
Geo. CARL, silver brooch, 175 years old. A
baby's dress was shown that dates its service
from 1872. A tress shown by Mrs. Bancroft.

his telephone transmitter, and Royal Tyler of
Gorham, who exhibited his combined step-
| ladder, ironing board apd wash-bench, which
was shown to be an almost indispensable
article in every American household. In the
produce aud fruit department the show was
fine indeed. Monster pumpkins, squash,
onions, cabbage, melons, potatoes, and other
productions of the soil were largely shown by
several exhibitors. Horace Meserve and W.
M. Libby exhibited 80 different varieties Of
fruit each; John II. Davis, 20 varieties. The
