George II. Clark. at their residence on State
street. Mr.. Clark is day foreman in the

handshaking and congratulations, Mr.. Joseph
c. Campbell, addressing the happy groom
and popular foreman, said:

our wishes for your future happiness.
In their behalf beg to present you with
their evidenc of good will and kindly fellow

deep feeling TO this unexpected and elegant
token from his Journal friends. However,
if not prepared for the rich gift that came,
the hosts had in readiness a hearty welcome
and royal array of good things"

Manter. collection of pAnsies, exhibited
by Mrs.. c. I'll. Diu nmond, formed a pretty
object. the lateness of the season almost ex-
GLIDING the aoral display usually seen at our
fall fairs.
In consequence Of the postponement and
the uncertainty as TO whether the show
WAS to be opened today or Tuesday, the at
tendance today both at the park and at the
hall has been small. The hall remains open
Tuesday, and the exhibition of horses, with
'trotting races, will take place at the park.
If the weather should be good tomorrow and
the fact of the postponement becomes gener-
ally known throughout the neighboring
towns, a good attendance will be looked for.
The financial results of the show, however,
premiums and expenses.
An exhibit which cannot be overlooked,
for it occupies table the entire length of
the hall and half of another one, and which
ought not to be overlooked ON account of its
excellence, is the exhibit made by Sidney
Grange in competition for the prize of S25,
but in which contest it has no competitor.
The collection is made up by the members
but is shown as whole, no names of indi-
vidual exhibitors appearing. 1t embraces
two cheeses, four floral designs, ten paint
ings, thirty-six specimens of fancy
work, forty specimens of canned
and preserved fruits, forty-three of
grains and vegetables, and one hundred
plates of apples, pears and pums. 1t is by
far the best arranged and most interesting
part of the hall exhibit. Tomorrow fore
noon will occur the exhibition of horses and
in the afternoon the following races 3 min
ute class, 2 80 class, 24l class. 1t is under
stood that all the above are filled and will be
trotted.
The officers of the society are H. c. Bur
leigh, President; A. S. Maxwell, Secretary;
c. G. Carleton, Treasurer; Chas. p. Sher
man, Superintendent of horse department;
G. l.. Burleigh, superintendent of stock; A,

WATERvLLE. Sept. "a.
In common with the twelve or fifteen ag-
riculturai societies in Maine which had ad.
vertlsed their fairs for last week, the North
kennebec Society shared in the nasty wealth
vr v hich prevailed all the week, aud which
caused decentralization. postponement and
loss ~ many farmers festivals in all parts OF
the State. The fortunes of this society in
the past have been some vi hat varied, and lis
lars from Que cause or another have not al
ways proved successful. But this year q
different result had been worked for and
confidently expected. The Society had
been well organized; its officers had done
everything Ia their power To make its fair a
success, aud y,t the weather brought de-
moraltzatIon. Large numbers of the best
farmers IN this section had promised stock
and hai it not been for the rain last week the
exhibition would have been one of the best
ever held in this city. So bad was the
weather that all departments had to be post
poned I'LL today. THIS has given the man
ayers good weather, for the day has been
ane; but the track has been soft, the display
of stock small and the attendance limited
Much of the stock promised for last week
has not been here, and it has been with some
difficulty that the trotting classes have been
nled.
