THE RAIN FELL BY PAlLFULlS
And Delayed the Opening OF the
Cumberland County Fair.
A Good Time Coming Whenever the
Sun Does shine.
The Sanford Fair Also Hung Up.
Waiting for Sunshine.

Rain fell by the pailfulls on Narragansett
postponed. Some of the farmers and others
present were inclined to feel blue as they
stood about in the dripping cattle sheds,
with their trousers tucked up, chewing
straws, but the majority looked upon the
storm as provdential, coming on the open
ing day, rather than after the exhibition was
opened. The rainy day sets everything back
one day, but 1t gives exhibitors and officers
one more day to complete arrangements, so
that when the fair does open it will go off
more smoothly than 1t might otherwise. A
trip around the Circuit showed big oxen lying
down or standing half asleep. chewing the
cud of reflection. Further along in an empty
range of stalls stands bright looking three
year-old Jersey bull, waiting patiently for
some companions. MerrilPs Holstein bull
arrived during the day and was assigned
quarters.
The swine exhibit Is small as yet. but more
are coming.
The horse sheds are fairly filed, including
James F. Barrett's string from this city. c.
p. brakes Glenarm, G. N. brakes Katie
Boone, Mahlon Jordan's Westbrook horses,
and Howard Woodbury's III. ID. K, the win
ner of the Cumberland races last week.
More good Maine horses are coming today
and tomorrow, and the trotting promises to
be full of interest. The track was full of
water yesterday, but those who know say
that the pelting rain was just what was need
ed, and that il will be all the better today.
Much good work has been done on and
new stalls has been built off the the first
quarter, a fine new halfway pole, with flag
on 1t, has been set up, and the judges stand
has been painted. No driver or other person
| can have any excuse for not hearing the
| starters bell, for locomotive bell OF the
| largest size has been secured, and under Mr..
| pompilly's efficient management 1t will rule
| the races.
