Premiums Awarded on Exhibits
Ranging from Afghans to Oxen.
The Last Day Of the Successful
Show at Corham.

The Gorham fair is closed. and the third
day was the most satisfactory of all. Dur
ing the forenoon the lowering clouds kept
many away, but when the sun came out at
noon the people came out too, and there were
1000 of them on the premises during the trot.
This attendance is believed to be rather bet
ter. both in teams and foot people than on
Wednesday.
Yesterday was day OF sport on the track,
and more attention was given to that than
to the exhibits. Many people found time,
however, to visit the cattle stalls to admire
Mr.. ViDton's nine yoke of oxen, all white
faces. and Isaac L. Johnson's matched twin
steers. These two men. with w. w. Cressey
managed to get up an exhibit which shows
that all the oxen are not yet gone out of
Maine.
The poultry section was another favored

prexious days hanging lovingly around the
coops, and all newcomers going there too.

on the Track.
The first event OF the day on the track was
the settlement Of the 2.4O race, postponed
from Wednesday. 1t will be remembered
that Goldwood dropped the last heat on that
day to Gray Dick, son of Gray Eagle. Gray
Eagle was not disposed to come to time in
scoring. and four times down were necessary
to get the horses In line. Walter S, driven
by james Quarter, and Saxon were partly
responsible for the delay, as they were ex-
tremely wild. At last, however, start was
made. Walter s. made jump at the word.
and gained on Woodbury.. who was holding
Josie Campbell down pretty well. Quarter
finally passed Josie and also Goldwood, but
lost good part of his lead by wild work on
the back stretch. Josie Campbell touched
the earth oftener than she did Wednesday,
and was given fourth place.
TIE second heat-ffth of the race-was
we'll started after two scores. Quarter va
ried his programme by pulling up short and
cutting In behind Gray Dick. chasing him all
the way round. The entire field was In the
air at the first turn, and Saxon and Walter

Dick attended strictly to business, and won
easily. although Josie Campbell having
worked off her extra fire. came up in second
place, with Goldwood third. The summary:

The second heat started without much
