The Grange Fair.

Arrangements are being rapidly per-
fecied for the coming fair by Capital
Grange OF this city. These arrangements
are in the hands Of the same committees
which made 50 marked a success of the
first fair held by this Grange last season,
and which proved SO high source of en-
joyment to citizens generally. In one par
ticular, however, the fair is to be conducted
on different plan from that of the previous
one. Last year entries and contributions
were limited to members of the Grange, as
the members had an individual pride to make
it wholly and exclusively, Grange fair
This year it has been decided to open the
fair for contributions, to all farmers and
citizens of Augusta, Of the neighboring
Oranges, towns and cities, and of the State
generally. The managers of the fair in
vite contributions to all its departments,
from any who are interested in its success
or expect to take pleasure in visiting it.
Products of the garden, field and richard
of the dairy and household will be thank
fully received. Contributions of agricul-
rural implements, fancy and ornamental
work, needle work, fine arts, curiosities, etc,
are solicited for the exhibition. Modest
premiums will be offered and paid articles of
merit, and competent committees will be
appointed to award the same. This fair
should be made the farmers festival of the
kennebec valley, and it is to be hoped that
farmers generally, and all interested will
help in making it a success.
The date has not yet been definitely fixed,
but it will probably occur the last Of Sep
tember or first of October. Particulars will
be given hereafter.

State Superintendent Luces office and are

No decrease in the adult population of Maine

is becoming stronger every year.

Augusta Driving Park.

To correct a wrong impression conveyed
simply by the wording of statement in the
Lewiston Journal, that has gained some
credeDce, and in justice to two of the gentle
men who acted as judges at the Augusta
Driving Park on Saturday, Aug. Is, the fol-
lowing explanation is made Monday fore
noon, Aug. 20, the day of the unfinished
race, word was received from Messrs. Alden
impossible for them to be present at the race.
The directors therefore were obliged to
select others to fill the vacancies. On both
occasions great care was exercised in making
such selections. To satisfy the most exact
ing that the directors intended to be imparti-
al the national rules were more rigidly en-
forced on Monday, the judges and reporters
occupying separate stations without eommuni-
cation, except when the decisions were an
nounced by the recorder, As originally in

of the Fairfield Journal that 1.-THE manage

less under Misrepresentation, the direc-
tors would have it understood that unfair
dealings with the public would not for mo-
ment be countenanced by them. The rules
of the National Association will at all times
be strongly enforced, and it would be well to
have them understood by those who would
unjusfy censure the management. The d.
rectors of the Augusta Park Association are
not at all responsible for what was done in
Augusta by others, thirty years ago such
reflections have no effect with those who are
familiar with the facts. The individual who
can please everybody has not as yet arrived,
but we believe that the unprecedented sue
