MAINE DISPATCHES.
THE FOURTH DAY
OF the Great Maine Exhibition.
Is Another Grand One for Everybody.
The Fair Continues Through Saturday.

special to the Kennebec Journal
Lewiston, Sept. IA.
Today has been one of the most agreeable
for the entire week. IL has been clear and
bright, with delicious atmosphere that has
been enjoyed by every body. While the at
tendance has been good, indeed large, the
crowd has not been more than two-thirds
what it was yesterday. This is the estimate
of some of the officials who are in position to
form a very correct judgment, proving that
the prediction of the Journals correspondent
in yesterdays report was correct. Thursday
is always the big day of the week, for towards
the close of the week people who have been
in attendance for two or three days become
tired and go home, while few start out on
fresh start SO late in Ihe week.
The day has been full of attractions for
been good races, drawing matches, ball
games, and examinations of stock, which has
been pleasing to everybody. The fat cattle
aud steers in long strings before the Presi-
1
t,day made fine sight, and one only seen at
our great State Fairs once year, for one
must travel long ways and visit many fine
farms before he ran see so large a collection
of choice yokes of fat, soft, well finished
cattle as are here on exhibition. These we're
shown by IL. c. Builei9h. Gen. X. b. Sbep-

Lead in price in the Boston market. Tie
DISPLAY OF PoULrRY

ON State Fair Park since it was finished. In
fact the coops are so numerous that THEN
arrangement in the eight sections devoted to
the different breeds has been an impossible
matter, and many are scattered about in all
sorts of out of the way places. The old
breeders are mere in force and some of the
largest exhibitors are those who are well
known here and in Bangor in connection
