THE HALL.
The hall show cannot be mentioned save in
general way, as all exhibits are entered by
numbers and without the owners name.
This system is done to secure strict impair
tlality in awarding premiums, but certainly
detracts from the show from an exhibition
standpoint. In the produce room is good
ly line of all farm products. A very large
exhibit of fine produce was said to belong to
Ralf Kay, Of Dayton The upper hall, de-
voted to fruit and the product of the ladies'
fertile brain and magic fingers contains
many things of especial merit which would
have been noticed by the reporter had the
exhibitors name been attached. Charles R.

ton, of Portland, had fine display from his
large stock of organs and pianos. a. B. Sea-
