or PREMIUMS AWARDED.
Last week THE AMERICAN published
the proceedings of the first day of the
fair at Blusiiiil, including sketch of the
various exhibits, to which but little can
be added. The glorious weather OF the
first day continued through the two re-
manning days.
On Wednesday, the second day, one Of
the largest crowds that ever visited beau
tiful Mountain park entered the gates
and passed day of unsiioyed pleasure.
The only two drawbacks were he failure
of the merry go-roand to lmateriaiize,
and the non appearance OF he baseball
teams tina, had agreed to play; the former
was On eeurti n smiling vessel, and got
| wind bousd somew here along the coast
the latter simply didn't snow up-no ex-
PLANTATION given.
The list OF premiums awarded is larger
i this year than ever before since the So
! ciety has been in existence This list is
1 printed below. and well illustrates the
constantly growing interest of western
Hancock county in this fair.
A summary of the horse racing is given
elsewhere. About the middle of the af-
ternoon of the third day Judge Chase
won the alaudits Of the crowd by invit-
ing eve hody not already there to free
seats In she grand stand--an invitation
that was speedily taken advantage OF. 1t
not only afforded the crowd better view
of the races but it also cleared the track
in front Of the grand stand of the crowd
With Thursday closed the seventh an
nual COT tie show and fair Of the Hancock
county agricultural society-an exhibit
ton Of which the management has every
reason to be proud.
HORSE TRoTTING.
The horse trotting on the second day
was almost as tame as that OF the first
day, but the free for all race on Thursday
made amends for all that was lacking on
the previous days, and saved Mountain
parks reputation for furnishing good
racing. Though only three horses started
in the race, all of them were out for the
money, and every heat was fought for,
one resulting in a dead heat.
The time was slow, though within one
was powdery. The Bluehill track SUI
fers somewhat for want of proper facil-
tiles for sprinklng. The association
realizes this, and it is probable that next
year will see modern sprinkling cart at
the track. On the day after a rain, when
the track is just dry enough, there is not
faster half-mile track in Maine than
that at Mountain park.
Following is a summary OF the races for
the second and third days OF the fair:
