The Coming Fair at Bangor.

When the Maine State Fair was permanently
established at Lewiston it necessarily became
localized and is now mainly representative of
the western section of the State. When this
change was made, and the plan of holding the
State fairs in the different cities was finally
abandoned, certain public spirited citizens of
Bangor organized the Eastern State Fair AS
ISOLATION and began to hold annual fairs at
Maplewood Park. Between the old and new
associations there need not be and should not
be ungenerous rivalry. The State is large
enough for both, and the success which has
attended the fairs Of the new association shows
that the field was ready for it. Bangor Is readi-
ly accessible by railroads and lines of steamers
and Is the most convenient place for bringing
together the farmers of the eastern sea coast
and those from the fertile Aroostook. The peo-
pie of Bangor are enterprising and hospitable,
and the hotel accommodations are not equaled
east of Portland The fair grounds have been
improved from year to year until they are
second to none In New England, and they are
within IA convenient distance Of the business
centre of the city. This is an important con-
money to the visitor. This year the New Eng
land fair will be held In connection with the
Eastern State Fair, thus ensuring good dis
play, and we hope the farmers Of this section
will be up and doing, that the Maine exhibits
may not suffer by comparison with those of her
sister States. The premium list was published
as Il supplement last week, and we are fully
ment will leave no stone unturned to make this
the most successful farmers festival ever held
in New England.

Betting in New York on the coming contest
for the Americas Cup is decidedly in favor of
the English cutter Genesta. The New York
Soop, the Priscilla, is generally thought to be
failure, and while the Boston soop, Puritan,
is no doubt good boat, it is feared she is no
match for the cutter. The New York Tribune
says:
Not only is the visiting craft the best all
weather boat in Great Britain, where danger
Gus rivals are plentiful but she is racer from
the tip of her topmast to the bottom of her
keel. She has seventeen sails for all possible
contingencies, and her crew is the pick of all
England. Mr.. Beaver Webb has taken no
chances in that respect. Her arrangements are
like so much machinery. in which every man
has his definite place, and her captain offers to
prove that he can make the most radical changes
of zig in three minutes. All these considera-
tons are inducing the wide belief that a strug-
gle for the possession of the great cup will take
place such as has never before been known in
the history of these contests. All the American
hopes are staked on the two new vessels, for it
has been definitely settled, as prophesied weeks
ago in the Tribune, that the trial races would
be between the Priscilla and Puritan only.
