Last Echoes OF the Fair.
Gool-by-haye the far earlier in the
season in 1923.
Mr. H. A. Rand of Augusta, was the only
exhibitor of sewing machines, and had in
the hall one of the Standard Rotary Shut
tie machine for which he is the agent, and
while acting as agent for four other leading
machines only had this one on exhibition.
1t was constantly being examined and tried
by ladies present and Mr.. Rand made many
sales.
Charles Sylvester, who has been marshal
of the fair, shipped a car load of Is cows
TO Mr. -. +. Cameron of Lowell, Mass,
today. seven of the lot having been pur-
chased from the fine herd of T. T. Weeks
of jefferson, shown on the fair ground yes

The judges at the races today have been

Augusta. and W. W. Wilkens, Wilton.
4 party of cyclists role out from Gar
diner today. making the distance of ten
miles in about one hour.
Today the sales Of single admission
tickets amounted to SLY the sales of sea-
son tickets during the tair has been about
$50; the fees for ground rent has been
500, and entrance fees and other receipts
will make the total receipts of the fair in
neighborhood of 5000.
The exhibition hall on the park is one of
the best in the State, and was planned and
built under the superintendency of Presi-
dent Brown.
All the work exhibited in the ladies' de-
partInent is hand made, no machine EN-
bro derry having been shown.
One of the interesting articles in the
miscellaneous department was an old silver
sugar bowl of pretty design exhibited by
Mrs. Clara Jewell: and several old vol
umes which while not being especially an
rieut. were deserving of being priced by
their owners.
The 2-year-ol colt race occurred in the
forenoon, thus disappointing many inter
ested exhibitors wbo supposed IT was not to
take place till afternoon.
In the 30 race this afternoon Mr.. w
: Iampson, the well known driver, was
thrown from his sulky by an accident, but
landed on his feet after being thrown over
the horses head. and everything being IN
tact. he again mounted the sulky AMI came
IN at the finish in good shape. 1t was a
smart thing to do.
Mr.. W. +. Moody of Gardiner, one of
the .Jot.RxAI subscribers, exhibited the only
musical instrument in the hall-an Estey
organ. for which he is agent. This was a
narlor organ in solid black walnut case,
selling for SIPS This company is fam
ous one and in August last celebrated the
manufacture of its 25o,0o0th organ. Mr..
Moody sells large Numbers of them

satisfaction.
The ladies forming the committee in
charge of the hall are Mrs. Fred A.
