Good Weather, Great Crowds, Fine Races
and Large Receipts.
Especial to the Press.l


this down as being the most successful
fair that the Sagadahoc Agricultural and
horticultural Society has ever held"
said Secretary VS.. Rogers of Topsham
to your correspondent today. Now just
look at this slip for yourself and see,'
continued Mr.. Rogers as he handed
out piece of paper on which the com-
parison of the receiptssstaken this year
and last was written. This disclosed
the fact that on the first day of the fair
in 1892 the money taken in at the gate
amounted to $e33-not as much for the
same day this year by $3s. On the
second day this year the respectable
amount of $1,e43.73 was received
almost 500 more than the second day last
October. Time enough had not been
given for reckoning up the money
taken at the last day, but it is safe to
predict that it was the best day OF the
three. Crowds upon crowds were in at
tendance and the grounds were filled
to almost the overlooking mark. The
different officers and committees that had
labored zealously to make the showing
in all branches D. successful enc, wore
pleasant countenances. They, and all who
have attended, were extremely grateful
that not one sign of cloudiness or storm
could have been discerned in the heaven.
The awarding of premiums was con-
cluded this forenoon. No. complaints
have been heard of the, judgment that
the committees exercised. Everything

Five horses were drawn up in this
class. The tall Silver Street was selected
for the pole. After several Intellectual
attempts the first heat was started and
