NOTES.
Mr. w. f. Moore of this city is one of the
assistant secretaries, and Mr.. Charles Leach
is in the Office of Treasurer Osgood.
All the officers of the fair are easily dis
tinguished by handsome badges worn upon
the coat or by lettered bands upon their hats.
Policemen stationed upon the roofs of the
buildings make the small boys fearful of
craving unQer tne FENCES and stealing a
peep at the great show.
Captain Howard Knowlton's genial face is
a welcome sight to Portland people. The
captain has an excellent show.
The weather today has been highly pro-
pitious for the fair and it promises to con-
tinue pleasant.
The judges stand is pretty and convenient.
The second story is reserved for reporters
1t might be well to rail off the stairways,
however.
Hungry people are guided towards Hotel
Swan by the music of brass band.
The seats around the space reserved for
the pulling matches are much appreciated.
Exhibitors are evidently bent upon having
fine appearing stock, and brushes and curry
combs are much used

Association.

The Saco River Baptist Association held
its 44th annual meeting with the Baptist
church at WATERFORD, Wednesday and Thurs
day, Sept. 10th and 18th. The very pleasant
weather brought together large number of
ministers, delegates and visitors. York AS
sociation was well represented, and all the
churches reported by delegates or letters.
Rev. j. M. Burtt of Buxton Centre was
reelected moderator, Rev. Jos. H. Taylor of
Saco, clerk, :and Lewis F. Small of Bidde-

collections at the association amounted to
$3795. There are 16 churches in the associa-

The proposition that the nailers Of this
district Of the Amalgamated Association
should separate from that organization
and form society Of theiriown to
meet with generaliayor in their ranks. A
reporter was informed last night on what
he considered very good authority that
the mills Of this city and those over the
river, Bellaire Of course excepted, were
canyassed yesterday with a view to ascer-
tanning what the nailers thought Of the
proposed step. The result was the discoy-
cry OF an almost unanimous opinion In
favor Of separation. The mills that are
making steel nails will be represented at q
meeting Of nailers in this city this week
to discuss the proper steps to be taken,
and there Is said to be little doubt that.the
meeting will resultin the surrender OF the
Amalgamated Association charters OF all
nailefs' lodges in the district. The lorna.
ton Of an independent union isalmost
as certain TO occur.
