fair attendance, including several ladies,
some of whom competed in the shooting and
took some birds.
The sale of poultry of various kinds in
this city for Thanksgiving aggregated over
a ton and quarter. Turkeys, of course,
led, but there were large sales of chickens
and ducks, and few geese. Most of the
markets sold out clean, and few birds were
left anywhere. There were no very large
turkeys, and but few western birds, nearly
all being raised in Belfast and the neighbor-
ing towns. Several lots were sold to be
given to poor people, and one of the largest
was sent from Staples market by Mrs.
Chenery.
