showers The exhibits of cattle, produce and fancy
articles were better than for some time, but the at
tendance was small. There has been marked I'M
provement in the stock of Waldo county, and there
are few farmers now but what have thoroughbred
stock, grade at least. Walker & Littefeld,
Elmwood stock farm, Montyille, exhibited some
fancy stock Their thoroughbred imported bull
sussex Boy is the only animal of that blood in Wal
do county. He is indeed handsome animal, and
their thoroughbred Jersey bull Dandy is another
fine animal. Their Jersey cows also fine stock.
One four months old heifer is the most promising
animal in the county. Their herd was much ad-
mired, and they deserve great credit for their eff
forts to improve Waldo county stock. Parker &
OILS, of Belfast, exhibited theil herd of thorough
bred lIerefords, including the bull Duke of Pen
pont, which has been often noticed. He is one of
the finest animals in Waldo county. Jesse Frye, of
Montville, exhibited a handsome lot of cattle
twelve head of thoroughbred Durhams. B. F.
Haskell, Belfast. exhibited his two year old thor
oughbred Jersey bull Peter the Great, and next to
Walker Il Lttlefeld he had the best Jerseys ON the
ground. Fred Patterson, of Thorndike exhibited
pen of thoroughbred Merino sheep, without doubt
the finest flock Of sheep In this county. One buck
shears twenty pounds of fine wool
The hall show Of fancy goods was excellent. The
display of butter was very handsome. Two lots
exhibited for show and not for premiums, attract
Ell much attention. They were by Mrs. P. W.
