Some Fine Cattle in the Pens in the
Lewiston Grounds.
Lewiston. September 5.-President
Jerrard says today is the best opening of
the State Fair yet. The show in C,ty
Hall is well organized, and is an eve
ming attraction. Besides the exhibit Of
manufactures, etc., good exhibition OF
art works is made. At the park the
busy crowd has looked over the fine
stock. Much of the stock came from
the Eastern Fair, Bangor, fresh from VIC
tory in the show ring and ready to win
new laurels at the big state show.
Trustee A. J. Libby and A. j. Libby
& Son, from their Oakland farm, take q
hand as usual in getting out some typi-
cal Maine oxen, models Of the kind hard
to beat. They have good string of fat
cattle, finely matched oxen and steers On
the grounds.
Messrs. H. O. Burleigh & Son, this
year, as for several years past, have a
very fine herd OF Sussex stock on exhi-
bition.
! Occupying their old quarters at the
turning of the line of stalls by the rail-
road are Mr.. D. W. Clark's Guernseys.
Mr.. Clark evidently likes the Guernseys
for he always has some fine COWS and
heifers to show. His usual number will
be found, and fine representatives of the
breed are the animals quartered in Mr..
Clark's sheds,
Another exhibitor who has been gain
| ing in the size of his herd is Mr.. F. C.
Dunning of North Harpswell. From
showing three OF four animals of the
Guernsey breed, this year he enters a
herd.
The black and whites outside of the
Jerseys, outnumber all the other large
| breeds of cattle, which shows that the
Holsteins have come to stay. Oxford,
Sagadahoc, Cumberland and Androscog-
| gin counties are represented by herds of
| pure bloods of Holsteins, while their
grads number more than half as many
more.
The Guernseys make good showing
as to numbers, but the Jerseys as usual
outnumber them three to one. The
same may be said oflsthe Ayrshires, al
though all who breed both classes-the
Guernsey and Ayrshire-speak in the
highest terms of them as milk and but
! ter cows.
| d Trustee Alonzo Libby of Saccarappa,
is the main exhibitor of this class of
stock, and, as usual, has large string
| of his beautiful animals at the old quar-
| ters in the second line of middle rows of
stalls.
Fair View farm, Showhegan, makes 3
grand exhibition of trotting stock. This
| is the home of the famous stallion ALL
So. James S. Sanborn of Boston has
splendid exhibition of French coach
horses from his farm in Poland. The
beautiful stallion Genmare heads the
studs. which consist of about forty
animals. Many members of the society
are tenting on the annex to the grounds,
where an agricultural campmeeting is
held each season. Wednesday is Cover
nor's day. Gov, Cleaves will arrive at
| noon. The following is the summary of
todays races:
