The weather
Thursday
was not favorable for good attendance. A
drizzy rain fell much of the day, but not
wthstanding the inclemency of the weather
the attendance upon the fair was even great
er than upon either of the preceding days.
The genealogical exhibit was even superior
to that of the day before. The secretary's
book showed that 5Ss entries had been made
against 400 in 1887.
Pickles, preserves, and canned fruit of
every kind were upon the tables. Garden
vegetables of every variety had come in.
House plants and flowers were in abundance
and vriety. The display of apples had in-
creased. Mr.. A. NJ. Dudley of Castle Hill,
who has young orchard of 1876 trees, 80 of
which are bearing this year, made fine dis
play. Among the articles exhibited by the
ladies were large number of fine paintings.

Some fine riding was shown in the ladies'
riding exhibition. Miss Kate Burpee and
Miss Maud Webb of Fort Fairfield, took
first and second prizes in the order named,
and Miss Trask, Presque Isle, third.
The game of base ball between the Presque
Isles and Fort Farfelds was a most exciting
and well fought contest. Superior stick
work enabled the Fort Fairfelds to win by a
score of 8 to-
Governor elect Burleigh was in attendance
every day of the fair and shook hands with
warmth of his reception was proof of the
kindly feelings entertained towards him by
old neighbors and friends in his native coun-
ty. MIR. Buregh was accompanied by his
wife and two daughters, all of whom are na-
tives of this county.
Tuesday evening there was reception at
Phair's hotel to Mr.. and Mrs. Burlegh by
the citizens of Presque Isle, who turned out
almost en- masse to meet Aroostook's first
governor. From here it is understood Mr..
Burlegh will 60 to Houlton, and remain q
day or two with his brother, Hon. A. A.
Burlegh of that place, after which he will
visit his old home in Linneus.
Every year of the northern Aroostook
fair shows advancement over preceding
years, and the present fair, although bur-
dened by stormy weather, has certainly been
no exception to this rule.
