ToPsHAAd, Oct. 16.
Friday was big day at the Sagadahoc agricul-
tural fair. The weather was delightful. Schools
closed mills shut down in the surrounding towns,
and the people took holiday to go to the fair.
From early in the morning until late in the after
noon, the people crowded in, 1000 being present
in the afternoon. Thursday, Notwithstanding the
outdoor programme was postponed, large num-
Der of people were present, Treasurer Smith re-
porting nearly $400 as receipts at the ticket Of
flee.
The exhibition is the largest ever held here, and
if tomorrow turns out like today, which it un-
doubtedly will and better, the receipts will not
fall behind those of any other year. The morning
programme at the park consisted of a four-year-
old stallion race and
WALKING RACE.
In the former, A. P. Qulnt's "Stratton Knox"
won first money, S. Alexander's "Topsham Boy
second, and p X. Millay's "Duroc" third.
The walking race created lots of fun, and re-
suited in a victory for A. X. Briary's stallion
"Mountaneer." j. M. Fulton won second money.
THE TRoTTING
in the afternoon proved intensely Interesting.

New Orleans exposition, was at the fair today. He
obtained some fne samples OF corn to take to
New Orleans He said he surprised the Western
people when he told them Maine could raise more
corn to the acre than they could. One Illinois

such is the fact, and Mr. Ham said he wanted
a good showing Of the kind we raise also.
