According 10 all indications, We are
going to have one OF the best fairs in the
history bf the society.
An Improvement that we predict will
be much appreciated has been made on
the grounds. This Is the addition OF
new IL ket Office and entrance gate on
Alpine Street, near the grand stand.
People VI no come with teams can drive
down ID this entrance and get away
from the| crush around the building, and
away fr,|m the electric ears.
We LEARN that all the races except the
-, thk 2-year-old and running race
are filed with from TO II entries in
each clasE.
That parade OF teams In the fore
noon OF the third day is 'catcing on,
and il Is safe 10 say that there will be
twenty OF more entries TO compete for
the prizts-and incidentally some OF
them will do a little advertising. All
that init Ind to join the parade are re-
quested 10 meet at the entrance at ten
o'clock 10 be placed In line by the
marshal f the day.
The underground was set up Satur-
day, and the midway" is getting into
shape. Whether one OF the attractions
will be he naughty oriental dancers
who wer, little too much for Lewis
ton, Is not advertised.
JOHNS LETTER.
The Cobant brothers, Howard, Hiram
and Sanford, have fallen into the pleas
ant way df holding family reunions each
year 10 tt|r IN. They have also formed the
habit OF / aying jolly good time ut their
gathering Is.
This tirbe Howard entertained. Sixty
nine founE enjoyment there In variety
OF ways. lixty OF whom were OF kin. Hal
lowell, Wayne, Livermore, Hartford,
Buckfieldl Turner, Minot and Hebron
were relE resented, and not SLOUGH
among thfm.
We werb not born nor bred Conant
through no fault Of our own. We
NAV hitch on. We are looking around
.ssome" a Marcus says. The trouble is
we we're born twenty-five years too
previous. But we can have the privilege
of LOOKING, suppose, IL we can't handle.
OF cour be the Conant Band was there,
and of course they were at their best,
and sent the wild notes flying-whole
notes, hall notes, all sorts OF notes, that
woke the |weet echoes on the hills. The
lady who touched the organ keys gave
evidence that 1t wasn't her first attempt.
She also Sing beautifully and was well
sustained. Music seems 10 be the Co
nant stronghold A young Conaut of
Turner. who died years ago while yet
Young, va fine artist. There are a
few striking portraits Of his make OF our
kin.
The old Nag that the three brothers
followed, when following flag meant
somethingI more than mere pastime, was
ahoat. BLOW the flag WAS temporary
shed of re tgh boards to shut of the
shine Will indulging the appetite. That
was what lame TO pass under the boards.
We have hsard OF table grooming under
its weight pf eatables. This particular
table laughed under its weight OF all
that heart tould wish or stomach desire,
also watermelon, likewise pears, ditto
bananas, sInd farther on TO him who
wished a nice cigar TO ease the gentle
pain. we regretted the scarcity OF our
teeth and the smalness Of our pod. We
also regreI that we didn't eat one more
Junk of that custard pie. lt was the
mistake ola lifetime.
Conant well fixed on an excellent
farm off thk main highway, away from
the rush a:i roar Of Chase's Mills, but
when worIt comes to worst he can get
there without much trouble. Good loca-
ton for a field dav. OF course Howard
is Grang tr. Everybody is in Turner.
Thanks fo1 the opportunity afforded for
one more dry Of enjoyment. JOHN.

Magazine il now the American Kitchen

cause TO many the former name seemed

a change id the title of the publishing
