NEW ENGLAND FAIR NOTES.
The Thousand and One Details Receiving
Careful Attention.

An extremely busy place at the present
time is the office of Manager H. F. Farm
ham of Rigby Park. He, together with
his assistants, is now engaged in getting
out the premium list of the New England
Fair. The book will be the most elaborate
one ever issued for such purpose and
complete in every way. The copy is Tnow
nearly ready for the printers and will be
issued on or about June 10Th, by the
Lakeside Press.
The general public have but small
idea of the immense amount of detail
connected with such an affair as the
coming exhibition of the New England
Agricultural Society. There are dozen
different departments each one of which
must be under the direction of COM
petent head Mr.. Farnham is particular
ly fortunate in having associated with
him men who have had much experience
in their different duties. Every detail has
to be figured upon in advance so that
there will be no bitches when the days of
the exhibition arrive. One of the most at
tractive parts of the fair will be the in
door exhibition in City hall. Applica-
tions for space are coming by every mail
and it is safe to predict that the hall will
be turned into perfect bower of beauty
Chandler's band, which by the way, has
been engaged for the whole four days of
the fair, is to give concert each evening
Two very important and highly novel
features will be the Floral parade on
Wednesday, August 2Sth, and the Coach
ing parade the following day. The Floral
parade is destined to be the nearest ap-
proach to a New Orleans Mardi Gras
festival that Portland has ever seen. All
of the clubs, societies and merchants will
be invited to enter decorated floats and
vehicles of all descriptions. Prizes will be
offered for the best displays in different
classes, such as the best display typical OF
spring, summer, autumn or winter,
harvest, the sea; the best decorated four
hand, tandem, pair, single hitch, pony
cart, saddle horse ridden by a lady, saddle
horse ridden by gentleman, lady
bicyclist, gentleman bicyclist and others
that may suggest themselves. The judges
will be the Governors of the New Eng
land States present OF persons selected by
them. 1t lies with the people of Portland
to make this parade success in every
way and judging by the hearty encour.

For years I was a constant sufferer
from weak lungs and bronchial asth-
ma. My rest at night was disturbed
by hacking cough, so that l felt
miserable the greater part of the time.
Many remedies recommended by
friends were tried, none of which
proved suitable to my case. l did
not experience any beneficial results
until I began taking Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. After two bottles
of the large size have been used am
pleased to state, my health is better
than it has been for years. The sore
ness has left my lungs and chest and
can breathe easily. 1t has done me
so much good that I want all who are
suffering from lung troubles, as
was, to give it trial" For sale by

From a series of resolutions in

adopted, we copy the following:
Resolved, That the money question
belongs to the domain of national
politics, and that it is inexpedient
and unwise to inject the same as an
issue in the State campaign about to
ensue.
Resolved, further, That the para

the State, leaving the money question
as the paramount issue in the nation
