THE FOOD FAIR.
Now Under Full Roadway at the Audito.
rum.

The Food Fair may be said to be under
full Roadway at the Auditorium. Owing
to the fact that the majority of the ex-
hibitors could't get here until Monday the
date of the opening was set forward a
day, and Tuesday was SO stormy that few
were able to attend then. Yesterday how
ever, was bright and crisp, the exhibits
were in place, the Auditorium was q
blaze of electric lights. and all through
the evening the Portland Cadet band
played popular selections 90 well that
they were marked feature OF the occa-
sion. There was good attendance and
the throng was kept on the move testing
the various food products and enjoying
all the shows that necessarily accom-
pany such fair.
Among the many exhibits that attract
ed a great deal of attention was that of
the orange sugar displayed by the Anne
rican Orange Sugar company. BY the
process adopted by this company all the
Juice and flavor of the orange is extract
ed, added to sugar and the combination
is so well made that it will keep in any
climate or any temperature. A tea
spoonful added to glass of water makes
delicious beverage. 1t is claimed for
it that it is sure cure for dyspepsia.
Mr.. E. j. Harmon, the florist, has a
splendid collection Of plants and out
flowers on exhibition.
A very interesting feature Is the Japa-
nese pottery made in the old-fashioned
way. the dizziness of the fingers of the
workmep fashioning the various articles
that are afterwards baked and made
ready for sale.
The Wright Manufacturing company
have large booth devoted to perfumery
of all kinds under the direction Of John
Jeffries, manager.
George L. Briggs & Co., have very
pretty booth in which they display the
celebrated chainless bicycle from the
Pope Manufacturing company. The bi
cycle is constantly surrounded by an
interesting throng.
Mr.. ]. B. Keating's most attractive
booth shows Appleton's India and Ceylon
teas. These teas are raised in British
oolonies-the English are a great tea
drinking race-and are of fine flavor.
They are served to all who wish to try
them. 1t is worthy of note that where
short time ago not over half million
pounds OF these teas were used in the
United States, now over 100000 pounds
are demanded.
One of the prettiest booths is got up by
a Chicago firm that offer 1.-THE Junket, y
delicious beverage.
Miriam, the fortune teller, Is a very
pretty woman, who has great skill in pal
mistry and fortune telling, and many
seek to use her skill.
The Passion Play attracts great many
who are much interested In the IS views
presented.
These are but few of the attractions
to be seen at the Food Fair, which will
be open to the public for two weeks
The fair is open from to 10 p. m.

HAReoR NOTES.
Items of Interest Picked Up Alongshore
Yesterday.

The schooners Warren c. Adams and
T. G. Yarmell arrived here few days
ago with hard pine from Brunswick, Ga.
The crews of these vessels and the
captains were obliged to hire stevedores
while the colored sailors sat about the
They thought they were being paid for
loafing, evidently, for when the vessels
reached here and the captains came to
settle with the men and deducted the
twenty-three days pay, the time 1T had
taken the vessels to load, from the wages
of the men there was row, but the
sailors of both vessels finally agreed to
settle without further trouble. One of the
men named Daniel gilbert tried to run
away from the vessel on which he had
shipped while at Brunswick, and was
lodged in Jail. When he came to be paid
off here he owed the captain for money
expended for board bill while in jail and
for sheriff fees SO that the man appealed
to the shipping commissioner to have his
case settled. There was no settlement for
the shipping commissioner to make,
however, and gilbert departed without
getting the satisfaction he was looking
| for.
The steamer Percy v. left at eight
O'Clock yesterday morning for Small
Point harbor, Cundy's harbor and other
points along the New Meadow river with
large cargo of freight and goodly
number of passengers. This new steam
boat route promises to be decided sue
CESS and has been received enthusiastical-
| Iy all along the coast of the bay. The
Percy v. is making tri-weekly trips to
the above mentioned points.
The Hermann Reesing arrived yester-
day afternoon with cargo of 400U
Holsters for M. f. Trefethen.
| There have arrived up to this time lila
cars of bonded grain and lumber for ex-
| port. The most of these cars are of grain
and the elevator is pretty well filed up
now with grain to be shipped on the
English steamers.
The steamship clerks are expected to
arrive here somewhere between the 10Th
and Goth.
The Grand Trunk is charging the office
formerly occupied by the Thomson line.
The government has had all Of the
| light houses in the harbor painted white.
Bug light being the last one to be
painted.
The PRESS is able to announce on the
best authority that there is no truth in
| the rumors that the Maine Steamship
company has bought the Custom House
wharf, or that the Grand Trunk has pur-
chased franklin wharf, now occupied by
the Maine Steamship company.
The Grand Trunk officials have notified
all the local grain dealers to get their
grain out of the large elevator and into
the old one. This nl6ans that the whole
Of the large elevator will be needed for
the foreign business. 1t may be that the
old elevator may be used for foreign bust
ness also.
Shipping Commissioner Tolman has
signed a crew for the Major Richards,
bound for Buenos Ayres, South America.
n. f. Trefethen has added new
lobster car to his equipment at Portland
Pier.

mud out of the Grand Trunk docks The
tug Eleanor l.. Wright is handling the
