FAIR OF THE CUMBERLAND FARMERS.
Splendid Weather for the First Day
Of the Show.
The Husbandmen on Hand With the
Big Vegetables,
And the Housewives with the Pre-
MUM Quilts and cheeses.

The Cumberland Farmers Club were trou-
bled last year with bad weather for their
fair, but yesterday was perfect day and
promised compensatory success this year.
The attendance at the grounds at West Cum
berland was considered equal to any ever
seen on the grounds for the first day; and
the exhibits were certainly fine. A fine col
lection Of cattle, oxen being especially no.
ticeable, showed the Cumberland farmers
are not selling quite all their hay. In the
hall the ladies have been most successful in
making good showing of their skill with
the needle and the artists brush. At one
end of the hall there is quite an art gallery
while along the centre are arranged scores Of
articles Of apparel or household use, each the
best and most marvellous of Its kind. Besides
the people from Cumberland, Gray and the
Yarm0nths, there was good number from
Portland and Deering. There were Messrs.
ID. +. Corser. James Lewis, Il. w. Conley, Fl.
P. Dewey, John +. Randall. Ansel Sawyer,
j. G. Ward, John I'll. Fogg, and Fred N.
Hooper. From Deering there were Messrs.
Wm. II. Scott and George Russell. From the
Kennebec came Hall G. Burlelgh, Esq, of
Vassalboro, who stopped OIL on his way home
from the Nelson race to see the fat CATTLE Of
the hard times the farmers Of New England
are having. "Yes, the times are hard for the
farmers" said Mr.. Burleigh, "but / believe
in hanging to the business. When the eleva-
tor has got down to the lower story Is no
time to step off; for it is bound to go up
again. know the West Is giving us hard
competition; but it is giving itself a hard
time too. There Is the cattle business. 1t Is
oyerdone out there, and 1t is only matter. OF
time when there will be more Of chance for
the Maine farmer with his beef"
The Farmers Club have the reputation Of
getting up the best dinners eaten In Cumber-
land county. The ladies attend to the din
ner; and there is nothing cheap or sham
about 1t. Everything Is worthy Of first pre-
MUM, from the beans and potst toes down the
long bill of fare to the cheese and pumpkin
pie. The dinner yesterday was no exception
to the rule.
