The Waldo and PenObscOt Fair.

Reported for The Journal by E. C. Dow,
The annual fair of the Waldo and Penob-
scot Agricultural Society was held on the
grounds at Monroe, Sept IA, 10, IS, and
was, as usual, attended by large and order
| ly crowd. The show of neat stock was large
and the quality of the animals shown was
we'll up to former years. Horses and colts
We're out in good numbers, considering the
! fact that the interest in horse breeding has
been on the decline foI the past few years.
| Sheep We're shown in larger numbers than
usual, and there seemed to be good inter-
est in this part of the show.
Poultry was out in full force this year,
there being the largest and best display ever
| seen on the grounds.
In the fruit department there was fall
ing off from last year, but not so much as
was expected. 1t has been a hard season
| for fruit of all kinds and large exhibit
was not expected, but there was a creditable
display of apples of good quality. The eX-
hibit of vegetables was also poorer than
usual, but very good for the season. Pota-
toes are a failure throughout the world but
those on exhibition were of good size and
average quality.
There was not a cabbage in the hall land
by the way we have not seen good cabbage
head this Year, and only one pumpkin, but
| the show of squashes was very fine.
The table supplies We're out in full force
and We're good to look at and no doubt good
to eat. The display of plants and flowers
was much better than usual and much credit
is due the ladies for the interest they took
in making up this part of the show.
| The races were we'll conducted and passed
off to the general satisfaction of everybody.
On the whole, the fair of 1897 will be re-
membered as one of the best the society has
ever held. The receipts were large enough
to meet all expenses and leave a surplus
| with which to make needed Improvements
on the grounds All purses and premiums
will be paid in full as usual. This is one Of
the few societies that can always be depend
ed on to pay the full amount of all premiums
Below we give the awards of the commit
tees in the leading departments and brief
