delightful day it was for the initial
business of a county fair. The attend

and everything passed off pleasantly.
The American Band Of Westbrook was in
attendance and enlivened matters by in
spring selections. The exhibition of
poultry and cattle equals that of previous
years and is credit to the exhibitors.

CANT display of Plymouth Rocks. Among
other exhibitors are Sherman Bros,
North Scarboro; Josiah T. Mcclellan,
Augustus Black, North sGorham; J. S.
Roberts, South Windham, and a fine ex-
hibition by Fl. S. Usher of Bonny Eagle.
The exhibitors from Portland are the
Atkinson Company, Ira F. Clark Com
pany, and an exhibition of eye glasses by
B. B. Plumley. A handsome silk quilt
worked and painted by Mrs. C. K. New
comb of Portland attracted good deal
of attention. There is also an attractive
exhibition of butter and fruit that is the
admiration Of all.
Mrs. A. NJ. Roberts of Portland has a
display of millinery, and Mrs. Fl. M.
Harmon of Portland, dressmaker, has an
