Prob is still showing his appreciation of
the State fair, and ordered perfect day for
tho babies and coachers, today.
As the baby show was at City hall at 10
o'clock, this forenoon, the crowd was slow
In getting on the grounds, today. 1t was
not till the excursion trains began to come
in that the number of people on the
grounds commenced to increase very
much, but then there was change.
Thirteen beautiful babies were in the
| contest Howard Owen Of Augusta, off
ciated as judge, and in speech that won
applause, announced the premiums as the
best babies to Flora G. Bowley, Lewiston !;
Lloyd Stanley Dicker, Auburn Laforest
Edwin Wade, Lewiston. The handsomest
mother and baby was adjudged to be Mrs
Fred Pray and Baby Irene, Auburn.
Every train came in heavily lolded, and
as the last ones were backing in on the
sidetracks the crowd from the city com
menced to come. The people poured in
at every gate and entrance and swelled
up the attendance fully as large as on
Wednesday.
The feature of the day at the park was
the coaching parade. This, like the other
parades of the preceding days, was com,
p!ete success, aud is the first time that a
parade of this kind has ever been given in
this State. No pains or expense has been
spared in the getting up of the parade, and
well it might be success.
An interesting thing about it was the
fact that every horse in the parade, and all
were handsome ones, was bred at the same
stable, that of J. V. Sanborn of Poland
Mr. Sanborn has been at great expense to
fit up for the parade, and something of the
expense may be conceived from the fact
that there were harnesses in the parade
the gold mountings of which cost $3.50 per
harness.
The teams which appeared in the parade
were as follows:
Imported Gemere, full blood French
Coach, in Riverside cart, imported harness,
solid silver mountings.
Tandem. and 3-ycars olds. Leaders 3
years old, black, half bloods, in Riverside
cart, imported sold silver mountings.

lish brake, imported harness, solid silver

nesses.
