The Fair at Prospect.

The South Branch Grange, and farmers of Pros
pect, stockton, searsport and Frankfort, held their
fourth annual cattle show and fair in Prospect,
Sept. 23d. The day opened somewhat inauspic-
iously. Heavy showers had fallen through the
night and until late in the forenoon but later in the
day the sun appeared and the committee of ar
rangements thought it jUdicious to carry out the
advertised programme. The attendance very
good, much better than was expected after
stormy morning. The show of cattle was excel
lent and the largest had in this vicinity. In
tine hall was very fine display of vegetables,
fruit and fancy articles. 1t remarked by a
number of ladies who visited the recent n. f. Fair
at Bangor, that the ladies department here was
equal to that except in the number Of articles.
There might be special mention made of some
ladies who contributed So largely, and with so
much merit and taste, but it is fair to say that
unusual amount of interest was shown by each and
all connected with the fair The following the
premiums awarded according to the best Judgment
of the committees chosen for that work;
