THE BAD WEATHER.
Causes POstpOnement of the West
Cumberland Fair.

Cumberland Fair.
The Rain Did Not Keep People Away
The Show To Be Continued Today-A
List of Yesterdays Premiums.
The Cumberland Eair yesterday en-
countered the same ill fortune that has
attended every fair held in this vicinity
the present year and as a result of the
rain the programme was postponed un-
til today.
Despite the fact that there was very
title going on about the grounds quite
crowd of people passed through the
gates and the majority of them apparent
ly had no difficulty in killing time.
The hall exhibit seemed to be the.center
of attraction and was really deserv-
ing of the attention received The vari-
Gus displays in the hall are&arranged in
most artistic manner and reflect great
credit upon Mrs. York, Mrs Dyer and
Mr.. Merrill, who have charge of the de-
partment.
Today's events include 2 45 and 2. "a
race, for each of which there is large
field of entries and some fast work is
sure to be seen.
| During the shower yesterday Prof.
Bristol's horse tent blew down and the
| frightened animals went tearing about
the grounds in all directions. 1t was far
from an easy task to capture them and
! it required considerable skill and pa
thence. Fortunately none of the horses
were injured.
