Managers of the State fair In Maine
claim the credit of having discovered a
new idea in the management of such ex-
hibitions, and as new ideas are nowhere
more badly needed than in fair associa-
tons, it may be well to investigate the
merits of the claim. Profiting by the UNI
pleasant example OF another large fair
held in the same State. of which disrep-
utable side shows of every sort were the
distinctive feature, the Maine Board Of
Agriculture refused to admit any such
shows. 1t realized. however, that the
public wants amusement and entertain
ment rather than instruction, and that a
mere display of farm products was not
enough to draw crowd. 1t decided to
spend its money for such attractions as
were in some way allied with agriculture
or the agricultural interests of the State.
AS consequence, coaching parades,
teams of horses and cattle on the track,
a procession of grange floats and a va
riety of other novelties of similar char
acter were provided and drew crowds Of
both country and city visitors who had
long been weary of the stereotyped ex-
hibits The receipts were large and the
vulgar side shows were not missed. The
Indiana board might profit by the Maine
example. 1t will need something next
year to take the place of the disgraceful
