Mr.. Henry2-Bolyar County Democrat.
Speaking Of introducing reminds US OF The occasion when another presl-

lhl then United States Senator from New York. Senator Hill had been
members from both houses was appointed to go to Meridian to meet the dis
.Wngutshed guest and escort him to jackson, With the committee the city

ably one Of two other gentlemen, They all landed in Meridian on time
and when Huns train arrived it was boarded by bhe committee and the run.
TO Jackson began. Along the route at every little station people had con-
gregated for the purpose Of seeing and hearing the next president" Mr.
Henry who was master Of ceremonies had, with Characteristic eoQuence,
introduced Mr. Hill to quite a number Of these gatherings. Finally Hill
got tired Of the play and begged to be excused. Out Of the abundance of
friend Henrys goodness II heart he objected to disappointing the expectant
people, so he proposed to Introduce to the waiting crowd at a little town,
State Senator now Judge " M, Stevens, a member Of the legislative COM
nitoc, for Senator Hill, Stevens humored the joke There were not more
than o half dozen enthusiastic sufragiss on hand at this place, but they
see Senator Hill, With Stevens looking grave, handsome and digni-
fed, as was his custom, Henry showed him to the rear OF the sleeper and,
his (Hemy9 beaver hat raised, and in a voice which betokened the
sense Of responsibility and honor Of his position, he proclaimed to the
standing near the platform Of the car. just under Mr.. Henry, was a ragged,

Henry announced Senator Hin aud was bowling profoundly and backing back

DO you suppose he knows Hnl?" wheroupon a good friend Of Ienryhsl
aughiugy suggested that probably the little fellow knows you" Mr.

his little town, between pine knots and corn rows, he had laid the tounda-I

THE STATE FAIR.
Another Unusually Large
Crowd In Attendance.
Changers Day Calls Out People Who
as Usual Enjoy Themselves.
Samuel Pompiiy Reelected President Motto.
About the Grounds and Exhibits.

Lewiston Fairgrounds, Sept. S.
(SpeciaD The new officers OF the
Maine State fair again demonstrated,
today, that a good, live entertaining
show can be successfully run without
pool selling, liquor dealing or low side
shows.
The fair started. Monday, with big
attendance. Yesterday, over 1900 peo-
pie paid admission to the great show.
Today, the climax was reached when
over $4,000 individuals came to celebrate
the anniversary of the election Of
President Pompilly and Secretary
Clarke.
One year ago, Thursday evening,
these men were selected to take charge
of the fair and run it in a good moral,
legitimate way and still notSonly be ex-
tensively patronized by thousands Of
people through Maine, but to receive
the confidence and admiration of the
great pOpulace.
They have done it.
BY their unbounded success they
have sat aside old ideas, for time at
least, ana opened up new pathway
for the fairs of the grand old Pine
Tree State.
Thursday was Changers day. Twas
the banner day of the State fair. Never
in the history of the association was
there such a throng of people on the
grounds.
The grand stAnd, enlarged by the
addition of several rows of seats, was
packed. Men, women and children
were poured into the stand until there
was scarcely an inch of unoccupied
sitting area.
Everybody was surprised. Every
body was pleased. All gathered to-
gather and with one word congratula-
ted one another that it was their good
fortune TO be there to participate in
the ushering in of the successful car
reer of a new fair, run on new princi-
Piles that have made it grand, sur
prisins success.
Although it was Changers day, moth
ing was especially done for or by that
order. The fair itself was enough and
the Changers and everybody else found
the straight show without its yaria-
tons sufficiently entertaining.
Thursday evening was not especially
inviting to the those who had not
visited the fair. During the night,
however, drying wind blew up, and
Thursday morning opened as pretty as
could be asked for.
Old Sol put on his prettiest attire.

And such racing. The track was fast.

applauding and what good time we
all had.
