YORK COUNTY FAIR.
Closing Day OF Successful Exhibi-
tioA.
The Baby ShoW-Premiums Awarded
at the Park.

attended the closing day of the successful
exhibition of the York county show and
fair, and there was a large number of people
in attendance. The centre of attraction was
at the hall this forenoon. 1t was the baby
show, which has always been one of the
leading features of the fair and it attracted
a good sized crowd of spectators. The wom-
en- were largely in the majority, and they
manifested in one way and another lively
interest in the exhibition.
The first instalment consisted of seven of
the little darlings under six months of age,
and after this collection had been properly
inspected nine more babies were brought on,
and ranged in a row beside or behind the
first. Some of these were under and some
over two years of age, and all were attired
in their best bib and tucker with hair fresh
ly curled for the occasion,
When the committee of award made its ap-
pearance on the stage the sixteen babies
all lookedup with wonder beaming eyes and
there was very general thrust of hands in
to the mouth. The committee was composed
of Esretf III. Banks, who officiated as chair
man, Simon Neweomb and Dr. John Lord,
end prizes were awarded as follows: A sill
yer mug to Minnie Emmons, three months
old, daughter of Fred Emmons of Saco,
whose pretty little face grew out of a fluffy
mass of pink and white raiment, and took
the prize as the finest baby less than six
months old "a silver knife and fork to Fran
ces Elizabeth Edgecomb, thirteen months
old, who WINS judged the best of those under
two years of age, and who is the attractive
little daughter of William E. Edgecomb of
Saco silver napkin ring to Callie Suhr,
two years and nine months old. She is the
pride of Thomas Suhr's household, and
very attractive child. Then the committee
went to work and gave each of the babies
some sort of jewel.
