THE COUNTY FAIR.

The Orleans County Fair, which was
held at Barton Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday of last week, fell upon
three perfect days. The heavy rains
the week preceding the fair wet the
ground SO that there was no trouble
from dust as is usually the case, and
the weather was cool, being cloudy
part of tho time. The first day was
devoted to getting the exhibitions on
to the ground and arranging them in
a suitable manner. There were very
large number of stands on the ground,
and sew eral side shows and places Of
amusement; the peanut and pop corn
vender was to be found on every cor
ner. The exhibitions in nearly ali
lines were very large and good. The
attendance the first day was about the
average for that day, the second days
attendance was large and every one
appeared to enjoy the day.. while the
attendance the third day at the races
was very fair. The exhibition in the
Floral Hall was very good. The ladies
made fine showing in their depart
ment, exhibiting many beautiful and
valuable articles, many of them rep
resenting a great amount of work.
Their display of fruit and jelly was
rather small. The display Of sugar
was very good, some of it being about
as nice as it would seem possible to
make, while the showing of butter
was very fair. The fruit and vegeta-
BILE display was exceptionally good.
Our merchants were not very gener-
ally represented there, but exhibitors
from other places helped to fill the
space. The display of sugar tools and
farming implements outside the hall
was as good as usual. The exhibition
of cattle was about the same as here
tofore in regard to the number but they
showed up rather better than usual,
especially in the Jersey line, Mr. .Bron-
son, the Judge, stating that in this
line the cattle were the best he had
ever judged here. There were very
large number of sheep and they were
fine ones too, many of them being as
SOO0 d. -NC ONOI CAulD1IOO AC1
The exhibition of swine was good in
numbers, about an average one. There
were a good number of horses in the
stalls and the exhibition of single
drivers was large, the horses nearly
all being good lockers. In looking
through the stock yard there were
many animals which were worthy of
mention but we could not find the
name of the owner, as the names are
not on the entry cards, the stock be-
ing-entered under numbers so that
there will be no chance Of favoritism,
as the judges do not know the owners
name. This rule is followed out in
all the different departments and con-
sequently the public is debarred from
knowing who made this or that ex-

THE RACES.
In the races, there was not as large
a numb Der of entries made as was ex-
pected and consequently they were
not as interesting as they have some
times been. The State Fair being held
last week doubtless took many horses
which would otherwise come here.
The 223 class did not fill and the dsso-
citation made it named race. In
the 2-19 class, the track record was
lowered by Tabita Geo. Haslett of
Newport drove Red Spye, a three
year old sired by Red Elm, an exhib-
ition mile in 2-40. The ST. Belmo's ap-
peared between the different heats and
were always given hearty welcome,
while Mahan's trained oxen and dogs
were very interesting, showing what
an animal may be taught ifenough
patience is exercised. The Judges
were G. Fl. Prouty, E. j. Tinker and
E. A.sLothrop; starter, @. H. Prouty.

THE RACES

NOTES.
The Barton Band furnished music
during the fair and played in a most
creditable manner.
The management tried hard to have
the people enjoy the fair and most of
them went away apparently we'll sat
isfied.
The game of base ball between the
Barton boys and team from Barton
Landing was won by the home team
by a score of T5-7. The game was a
very exciting one and was watched
by large crowd of interested specta
tors. During the first of it the Barton
Landing team led, but the Barton
boys by steady hard work managed to
catch up and gain good lead which
they held.

NJ. GRAUN SAYS WAR.
Sending OF Aid to Starving Cubans by
America Would he a Casus He'll.

New York. March S0-A dispatch to
the World from Brussels says:
NJ. Crank. former minister of finance
and an illustr'ous authority ON Inter
national law takes a graver view Of
the Spanish situation than heretofore.
He says: THE absence of partlcipa-
tlon by the Spanish government in tho
destruction Of the Maine in no wise re.
lievss them OF responsibility If the dis
aster is traced to n Spanish subject
But II does reduce the question to one
of mere damages which can be easily
settled by arbitration.
THE real danger lies in the intention
OF the United States to send financial
assistance to the Cubans. No state
could honorably allow such interference
under the cloak of humanitarian mo-
tives which do not exist, Under the
rules OF warfare by which Spain is
dealing with the insurgents. to render
them any assistance financial or other
wise, constitutes casus belli."
These views are indorsed in the main
by Count Goublet. who added: ut Is
the universal opinion here that Ameri-
ca wants war at any price. The Ala
bama claims, presenting greater DIM
culties than the loss Of the Maine, We're
settled by arbitration, The present
action of the American people is
merely n pretext TO force the hand of
the President"

The cabinet council, to consider the

President Mckinley, lasted until well
into last evening. Although no final
response has yet been made, the
Spanish ministers can make no def
mite promise To terminate the war in

Spain will promise to relieve the
starving reconcentrados to her utmost
ability and Will accept the co-opera-
tion OF American relief committees If
unofficial and If not accompanied by a
naval demonstration that will encour-
age the insurgents sympathizers.

couragement to peace, but the govern

Fort Monroe, Va, March 30.-Monday
and yesterday everything about the
flying squadron had a peaceful air, be-
cause of the pacific news from Wash
ington. This morning a great deal or
suppressed excitement was noticeable
particularly in the orders to men work
ing upon the vessels to hurry their la
bors to completion. Some workmen
from the ship building yards employed
in making some minor changes on the
Brooklyn were told emphatically that
all work must be finished by tonight
and men on board would not be sur.
prised to find the fleet moving within
a few days. The hurry was in the
main due to the uncertainty in the
situation in WASHINGTON as detailed II,
the Associated Press dispatches and
the similar situation in Key West.

organized his working force. finding 1t
