THE NEW ENGLAND FAIR.
II Promises to Be Larger and Better Than
Ever Before.

Although there are many fair in this
section of the country every year
there is one which stands pre-emi-
nently above all others and this is the
New England Fair Il is only natural
that it should be so, for while the or
binary fairs are Of necessity confined
to limited fields, the New England Fair
takes in not only New England but
during the past few years many eXhib-
its have been made from the western
states and Canada.
This year the far will be held at
Portland for the fourth time and it
will unquestionably be a record break
er both so far as exhibits and atten-
dance are concerned.
The premium list is the largest ever
offered. more and better attractions
have been secured than ever before,
and the entries for the races far eX-
coed in number that of any previous
fair. And while speaking OF the races
it is well to remember that Rigby is
the greatest mile track in the world,
and ii is the only track east of Boston
visited by the cream of the light har-
ness brigade. At many of the fairs
the racing is good. but it is only at
IIgby that you see the real thing.
The city of Portland has appropri-
atcd $500 for providing for the enter
tainment of those who come to the
fair, and the week of August 22-27 will
be a good one to make a note of, and
if you can possibly leave your bus mess
for two or three days, or even day,
you cannot spend your time more
pleasantly and profitably than in at
tending the New England Fair

A Communication.

Editors kennebec Journal:
AS some of the members of the w.
C. T. L. and others who assisted in the
outing which was furnished for the
poor children of Augusta by some of
the good people of the city who recog-
nize their stewardship of the Lords
money. feel that somewhat fuller
report of the occasion than that kindly
given in your paper of Aug. s. is due
to those who took such kindly interest,
will YOU allow me to make a few adj
ditional statements?
In the first place, it is only right to
say that by far the larger part of the
work was performed by Mrs. Osca-
Holway, who has had the matter in
her heart for weeks. during which time
she has been securing and distributing
both new and second hand clothing,
for it ought to be understood that the
furnishing of the tickets and lunch for
those who went was but small part
of the undertaking.
In her report, given. yesterday, at
at the business meeting of the w. c. L.
IT,. she stated that she had given 120
garments in boots and shoes, besides
quite a number of hats, caps, etc. IN
her prepare ton for the excursion. She
did not forget large quantity of the
necessary ingredients for the lemonade.
nor did she overlook the milk for the
babies
1t was a great deal OF care and work.
but she says she enjoys thinking about
it 80 much, and recalling the instances
which proved the enjoyment of those
| who went, she believes she shall plan
| for two excursions next summer.
| 1t is unfortunate that those who con-
| tributed 80 generously toward paying
| the fares and in other ways, could not
| have seen for themselves what a clean
| ly. well-behaved company it was.
| Some who went from sense Of duty,
in order to assist. found themselves en-
joying the excursion just as much as
| the others.
1t is to be hoped this annual eXcur-
| sion will become a regularly establish
| ed institution, and it is suggested that
| If those who help to make it sue
cess want to get the full value of what
they have given. they ought to go too
and the sight of the bright faces of the
children. very pretty in some cases.
will well repay them.

one of the least of these, My brethren
