The State Fair CLOSED 1otusday after .
very unfavorable week, bot iii he re-
ceipts are said 70 have bssn olEy00O spd
nearly enough to pay the expenses and the
premiums
The Maine CsntrnI loaded the stock
trains as fast ~ possible, that for the West
leaving the grounds at noon, and the East
bound train leaving about 1 O'Clock p. n.
Exhibitors seemed disappointed, but there.
were no complaints. I'VE all fare alike"
said one large exhibitor, land it Is q mat
ter that cannot be helped"
EVERY premium will be paid In full
aid Col Jerrard, "you may tell your
folks Of that We are into this thing as
III. ines, and, like everybody else. must
take our chances. We shall pay our pre-
miuns, all our running expenses, and our
interest, this year.
The horsemen were perhaps the most
discouraged Of any class Of the exhibit
ors. They had seen no good track for the
week and there had been no satisfactory
races. The entries promised many good
tests Of speed and had the weather per-
mitted there would have been fine races
and no doubt many records would have
been broken. But they stood the disap-
paid back.
We give some of the awards of preni-
ums to Somerset exhibitors:
