tended the fair of the South Kennebec
Agricultural Society, today, the biggest
attendance in the history of the association
Over $500 was taken in at wiudow.
The weather was perfect. Ali roads led
to Windsor, today, and they were lined
with teams.
You can't make the officers of this society

keep up with the almost endless procession
of people that poured through the gates and
to look after the innumrrable details.
No one familiar with the conditions is
surprised at the success which attends the
annual fairs of this association. Ever,
one connected with the society strives TO
please the patrons, and what is better they
succeed; do just MS they agree and offer
much for your money. Those who come
once, come again, and bring their friends
along.
They all came. today, friends and neigh
oors and host of Augusta people. They
began to come early. BY 10 A. M. the
hall was so full it was difficult to see the
exhibits. A fine farming country is tribu
tary to this fair, and the hall exhibit was
a splendi one.
The exhibit of neat stock was the largest
that has been shown at any of the Kenne
bee fairs The central avenue was lined
with sleek cattle.
Wellington Hunt of Randolph, showed a
handsome, black, year old colt, by Haley,

.ud. The crowd began to desert the takers,
no looked relieved, for they had reaped
GOLDEN harvest already, and turned their
