CIesing Day OF the Wc.s Cumberland Fair
Yesterday was an exceedingly pleasant dag,
cool and comfortable, and fully 5000 people
we're present. The principal object OF interest
was of course, the trotting contests. The
track was in fine condition, and nothing inter-
vened to mar the enjoyment.
Too much praise cannot be given to those
whose hard work and careful supervision did
so much towards making everything pass of
SO nicely. In addition to the ladies especially
mentioned yesterday, there were many who
nobIy aided, both with hand and counsel, in
accomplishing this result. The labors of secrs-
tary Pearson, although his strength aud atten-
tion were taxed to the utmost, brought out OF
the chaos that surrounded him most perfect
system Of order; and 1t was astonishing with
what steady good humor he answered every in
qury and performed his manifold duties.
Sylyanus Porter. Esq, who had charge of
the horse department, including the races, was
evidently the right man in the right place, and
gave four races during the two days, as fair
and pleasing to the thousands assembled as is
not often seen. A very large number of Port
land citizens were present yesterday afternoon.
The Yarmouth Rifles were present in the sf-
ternoon, and executed very neat drill upon
the ground.
Last year the society abolished season mem
bership and arranged for life membership upon
