CATTLE AND HORSES.

A Canadian Exhibitor Expresses an Opin-
ion of the Fair.
Mr.. 7. D. McCallum, the gerant of the
Isaleigh Grange farm Of Danville, Que
bee, which has made such large show of
Guernseys and Ayreshires, expressed him
self to the PRESS yesterday as greatly
pleased with the fair. He thinks we are
not up to the Toronto fair in the general
display of cattle; but in the horse depart
ment this fair is way ahead. The Jersey
show here, however, he regards as the
finest he has ever seen anywhere. But
in Ayreshires the Canadians surpass us.
The horse department hero is up to any
thing on this continent.
Sales of Cattle.
There have been number Of sales of
stock at the fair. G. F. Cobb of South
Vassalboro, who had the only Maine herd
of Jerseys at the Worlds Fair, sold three
Jerseys to l.. W. Dyer of Cumberland.
B. F. & f. Il. Briggs of Auburn,
who took first premium onJerseys over the
Hood Farm, has sold five to that farm.
The prices in all these cases were large.
Fair Notes.
A spectator complains at the way peo-
pie stand up in the grand stand. For
those who do not feel able to stand up,
there is no chance to see. He thinks there
ought to be policemen to keep the people
in their seats.
Some of the drivers of trotters have
their noses out of joint on account Of the
cavalry. The evolutions of the troope rs
crowd out the races to some extent. The
horsemen of course don't like 1t; but the
spectators are in love with the boys in
blue and yellow.
Mr.. Lamson is doing some interesting
kite-fiying with his smaller kites. He
had several up Thursday, with the Amer
lean flag futtering in mid-air from the
strings.
Quite o number of members of the
State Board of Agriculture are present.
among them are Messrs. l.. o. Straw Of
Nowfeld, w. H. Moody of Liberty, B. E.
Briggs of Auburn and George NJ Hol-
land of Hampden, j. Henry Moore of
Winthrop, W. Z. Whitman of South Tur-

The Premiums Are Beginning to Come In
Now-Some More Cattle viewed-Cana-
dian Opinion of Our Exhibit-Other
Notes.
The fourth day of the fair was very sue
cessful, although the rain of the night be-
fore and the clouds of early morning, had
not been promising. But with the shin
ing of the forenoon sun, the clouds began
to come. OF course not as many attended
as on the day before; but there were
probably fourteen or fifteen Thousand on
the grounds.
1t was Governors day, and an interest
ing feature of the occasion was the arrival
of Governor Powers and the officers OF
the North Atlantic Squadron, with
Admiral Sicard in long line of hacks.
Governor Powers was accompanied by
Colonies Kendall and Philbrook, of the
Maine National Guard, and by members
of his staff in full uniform. These, with
the officers of the fleet, also in uniform.
gave varied and interesting character
to the long line of carriages in which the
party mdae their way form the city to the
grounds. In each carriage member OF
the city government rode with the guests,
President Virgin of the Common Council,
going with Governor Powers and party.
When the procession arrived at the
grounds they were driven first through
the Midway, and next down through the
cattle and horse exhibits. President APP
pleton of the fair led the way in his ba-
rouche, taking his guests through the
most interesting portions of the exhibit.
Then they returned to the grand stand,
where boxes were reserved for the party.
The programme of the afternoon on the
track passed off pleasantly, although
gray fog that came creeping over the Cape
Elizabeth hills made W raps not migrate
full to the ladies in thesgrand stand.
The crowd at the fair as on all the other
days, was high character, representative
of the most Intelligent and prosperous
people in the state.
The Midway seemed to reap more prof
its than on other days; but the truth
seems to be that the old order of freaks
and sensations are losing their attractive
power. and neither domestic genius nor
rakings in the uttermost parts OF the
Orient have produced any novelties within
the past year.

Other Attractions.

The riding of Myrtle Peek on her fa-
nous horses was much enjoyed by the big
crowd and especially was the graceful
prancing of the horse Boston appreciated.
The riding of Lee Richardson, the trick
bicycle rider, was the hit of the afternoon
and the graceful young Chicagoan was
encored to his hearts content. His riding
is one of the best features of the fair.

GOOD RACING PROGRAM ME.
Interesting Events on the Track at Rigby
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
The racing programme was of unusual
interest yesterday and there was an ap-
preciative crowd to enjoy it, but unfortu-
nately fog bank blew in in the middle
of the afternoon SO that it was impossible
to see the back str Itch from the judges
stand. This necessitated the postpone
ment of the 2.10 pace, which was left IN.
finished until today with four heat win
ners and the race still in doubt. The
heats which were paced were of unusual
interest and we'll contested. Bismarck,
the Maine horse who was sold short
time ago for 81 900 and who is considered
the best bargain of the year in horse flesh,
took the 2.19 trot in three straight heats.
The fog became SO disagreeable and
thick at half past five that all of the races
were put over until today and this leaves
the 2.10 pace, the 207 pace, the 2.16 pace,
and the 2.24 trot for today's programme
The first event of the afternoon was
The s.2o pace.
THE 2.20 PACE.
The 2.20 pace, carried over from
Wednesday, was pulled off at one o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Five heats were
trotted Wednesday, and Lady Golden had
two heats to her credit, Jessie McEwen
had two and Bay Baron had one. The
other hos es being ruled out the three heat
winners scored out to finish the event.
In the sixth heat Jessie McEwen led to
the half, and was going very steadily,
when, Lady Golden pressing her very
closely, Jessie suddenly went to break
and dropped back. Lady Golden's tri-
umph was short lived, Efor when turning
into the home stretch she also went into
the air, and Boy Baron jumped to the
front and took the heat
= Each horse now had two heats to his
credit, and there was intense interest
manifested in the seventh and deciding
heat.
Boy Baron, who looked promising as a
winner, was out paced by Jessie McEwen
who came in on walk. Lady Golden
was second, and Boy Baron was third

The thick fog did not prevent Prof
La Roux from sending up his balloon,
which seemed very foolish thing to do
considering the fact that the moment the
ballon got little above the grand stand,
it was lost to sight. The last that the
crowd saw of the balloon was the indis-
tinct figure of the daring aeronaut out
lined in the clouds and though q para
chute jump might have been made it was
not seen by anyone in Rigby park.

Peoples Union held Il most enioyab BILE
Christian Culture meeting, al which a
musical and literary programme OF rare
merit was introduced.
The address Of the evening was deiiv-
cred by Rev. Il. II. Pitt OF Richmond,
the talented editor Of the Religious Her
aid. He chose for his subject, The
Trials and rriumphs Of the Bapiists.'
The address was q remarkable one and
ctinced deep study and Il thorough
knowledge Of church history.
Mr.. William NJ. Dcy read an excellent
paper on The Baptists Of the Past
Their Trials. This was followed by a
paper on The Bap,ists of the Past
Their Triumphs,' read BY Miss Daisy
Gilmore lanes. This young lady's paper
was one Of the most entertaining fea-
lures Of the evening and II showed her
10 D" thoroughly conversant with the
subject she discussed.
Then there were two delightful vOcul
snlos--one by Miss Nicely and another
by Mr. Vernon Cofer.
After the programme had been com
Nieted refreshments We're served.
