BUXTON GRANGE FAIR.
The Proceedings of the Second Day.

The sturdy and enthusiastic patrons of
Buxton rejoiced in the glorious weather Sat
urday, which did much to atone for the un-
favorable beginning. The show of stock ex-
| celled any previous display of the society,
the oxen being out in great numbers. The
farmers from North Scarborough contributed
largely to the affair, nearly all the premiums
on draft cattle going into that town. The
most notable exhibit was that made by Mr..
We. c. Webster proprietor Of Pine Park
Farm. This farm situated at Groveville, is
especially devoted to breeding thoroughbred
Jersey and Holstien Friesian stock. Mr.
Webster has nine head of Holstien-Fre-
slams in Buxton, all of which were exhibited.
He has also nine head in quarantine and is
probably the largest owner of this stock in
Maine. At the head of the herd is Werts-
ball, No. 640, of the Holstien-Friesion asso-
citation registry-Wertsbal was dropped
Feb. oath, 1885; he weighed on the day OF
the fair $40 pounds, and is perfect in build.
The herd contains the imported cows Fraus,
No. 5725, weight 1850 pounds Tryntie Lee,
No. 1875, weight 14oO pounds. Autye Lee
4th, No. 1926, three yearlings and two calves.
Mr.. Webster also exhibited Baltimore, a 2
year Jersey bull, No. 12467, American Jer-
sey club, He is of solid color, perfect form
and fine breeding, and comes of great but
ter strain. His pedigree shows such names
as Duke of Bradmoor, his sire, Forest Flow
er, Pierrot, Favorite of the Elms, COW hay-
ing butter record of 16 IA lbs. in seven
days, and many other famous prize takers.
1t will be hard to find match for Baltimore
in Maine. With Baltimore were two beauti-
full thoroughbred Jersey heifers. A very
attractive feature of the exhibit from Pine
Park Farm was the magnificent Norman
stallion Prince Royal Prince Royal is
years old, weighs 1850 pounds; he is beau
tiful animal, and was greatly admired. Mr..
Webster's exhibit added greatly to the
interest of the fair.
The yoke of big fat oxen driven there yb
the venerable Wm.Scribner, their owner. are
worthy of especial mention, also, the fine
team driven by that far-famed knight of the
goad, Oscar Deering.

NOTE.
In the Introduction of Fridays report was
written "these exhibitions have been annual
successes" and the types made us say three
exhibitions"
Instead of calling the Prohibition potato
"sort" of Breese Prolific, we wrote them a
spout of that variety, they being a curious
sample of the bud variation by which new
kinds of potatoes sometimes originate.
