This sculptured soldier here
In readiness to mount and ride
Where duty's call or country's need
Shall point the way, whate'er betide,
With faith unbounded in his steed,
And knowing naught Of fear,
With spirit that will face
Privations such as few endure,
And danger dire to life and limb,
Face death, for love of country pure,
And calmly meet his summons grim,
Face aught except disgrace
This sculptured soldier here
Is type of thousands, good aud true,
Who, six and twenty years ago.
Stood on this field, brave boys in blue,
Stood firm against tn invading foe
And some lie buried near
Not only here they stood,
But on a hundred fields OF strife
They stood mid storm Of shot and shell
And offered life for nations life;
They did their duty grandly we'll
They did all soldier could.
This sculptured soldier here
Embodies all the service grand,
The days OF suffering and pain,
The hardshIps met on every hand,
BY nigh three thousand men from Maine
The State which we revere
And all the wearyhours
OF picket duty day and night,
The campaigns meath southern sun,
The march, the sklrmish, and the fight,
The battles fought, the victories won,
By these brave boys Of ours,
And all the throb and ache
or wounds received from fellow men
And illness nothing could appease.
The dreary life in prison pen,
The death by battle and disease
All this for country's sake.
This sculptured soldier here
VIII tell their story through all time;
And more than that, will teach to all
Who look on him, that it's sublime
To promptly answer duty's CALL
And duty make so clear,
That in the coming years
The spirit OF these gallant men
Throughout the land will e'er abide,
And should our country call again,
As many more will mount and ride,
With neither doubts nor fears.

ball games, and other interesting things, but
the feature, first and foremost, of the day
was the crowd. On foot they came. In teams

came, until the managers began to see their
debt lifted by this one days work. A con.
servative estimate places the number present
during the day as high as five thousand.
During the forenoon working oxen pulled
and showed their docility, and the Windhams
and the Gorhams contested for the prize on
the ball field. Victory rested on the banners
of the former club.

Kathleen, Clementina, occupy the stalls at
the further end of the old range Of stables
and make a good show, gratifying to lovers
OF Maine horses. The stalls of the Nelson
horses, Dictator Chief and Red Hawk, were
surrounded by crowds Of horse lovers all
day, craning their necks and standing on
tiptoe whenever the doors were set ajar. No
other new horses arrived for exhibition yes
terday. but Jordan Wescotts mare Fanny
w. came 10 trot in special class today. III
this game little mare could be started against
Glenarm 1t would be special class worth
seeing.
Amusement was created at the cattle stalls
during the forenoon by a battle between a
heifer and pig. The contest ended by the
heifer breaking her halter and galloping off,
while the pig turned one eye up at the crowd,
winked and trotted off.
In one of the cattle stalls is 10 fine young
grade Jersey heifer, only nineteen months
old, but who is the lmother Of handsome
calf born on the 11th Of June last. This
heifer is the property Of the Portland Poor
Farm, and Is highly priced by Mr.. Randall.
In the hall department notable addition
has been made in two handsome express
wagons entered by ]. l.. Drown & Son, the
Gorham carriage makers.
The hall exhibits have been re-arranged
and grouped In such positions as to snow
them to better advantage. Many favorable
comments were heard on the hall, one gen

Maine people on the battle-ground have been
favored with smiling skies, so that the vet
Grams who have spent the day in visiting the
points of interest on the battlefield of six

the most favorable circumstances. The diff

searched for the points occupied by their
commands and explained the part taken by
them in the struggle.
