The Exhibition Hall.

| the cAntUttOn ndIi
| The Exhibition hall. today, was the
chief attraction, and the people who
| visited il were delighted at the good
| showing made by the various exhibit
| tors. of whom there are n good num-
| Der. Many say that the exhibit here
made is equal to any yet seen this year.
| All the exhibits are not yet in, for
| many thought that the fair would be
| set ahead one day on account of the
| storm, but as there was no way of
| notifying the owners of stock it was
| impossible to set it ahead. as they
| came with their stock and they would
not have come again, tomorrow.
| The exhibit of corn, pop corn. yellow
corn and sweet corn is made along the
| wall on the right of the entrance.
There are some very nice specimens OF
corn and the ears are all full. Among
| the exhibitors are: J. Murring of
Readfield. c. a. Clough of Readfeld, c.
c. Hunton of Readtield. l.. X. Stevens
| of North Belgrade. w. H. Hunt of
| Readfeld. +. NJ. S. Abbott of Kent's
Hill. +. Wilfred Abbott of Kent's
HILL Chase f.. Fogg of Readfield, II. a.
Wells of Readfield. w. l.. Mace of Win
throp. G. H. Stevens of Readfeld, G..
b. Mace of East Winthrop. d. w. Bean
of Mount Vernon.
Bowd:th & Webster of Augusta, have
fine exhibit of trusses and sup
porters with all the latest improve
ments which have appeared in the past
! year. This firm always has an exhibit
ton of this character here and some
of the people come here to procure the
trusses instead of going into the store.
The orders are taken and the adNan-
tagcs explained, but none sold at the
grounds
J. VI Williams & Co. of Readfeld,
the well-known jewelry engravers and
dealers in brooches. scarf pins and or
der pins. have booth at the door ana
are doing a good business. for the
| young lovers who come cannot refrain
from purchasing their sweethearts
some souvenir of the county fair
H. P Clearwater of Hallowel. the
low price druggist. as he is called. has
a quantity of goods on exhibition and
is selling them for the same low prices
as they are sold at his store. He is
distributing advertising matter and
note books. which will remind the peO-
pie of his low prices and large stock
Mr.. Clearwater is assisted by his sis
ter. who is a great help and by her
winning ways draws many to that part
of the hail.
The exhibit of f. Il. Mayo of Man
| chester. is very extensive and includes
about everything raised on a farm, APP
pies. plums. melons, citrons. grapes and
market truck. This exhibit is the
drawing card to many, for it is one of
the most extensive in the hall.
Alberta T.. Hewitt of Belgrade. is an
other extensive exhibitor and has on
exhibition nearly everything raised in
a market garden or farm.
The apple display is very extensive
and handsome. The specimens are
large and good. and for an off year
they cannot be beat. This apple dis
plav. as a whole, is about as good as
will be seen anywhere. There are eN-
cellent specimens of all kinds. all larg"
and firm. A person travelling about
the country thinks the apples are
scarce. and that those which were
raised are not good. He can easily
correct this impression by attending
the Readfield fair, for there are some
Of the finest apples ever displayed.
The canned fruit exhibit is what al
wavs takes the eye of the ladies ana
there is certainly an exhibit here which
would satisfy any housewife. The
fruit looks delicious and person
could be pardoncd if he should take
bottle and sample it. for 1t is certainly
is like waving a red rag in front OF
A bull to place this exhibition in front
Of a hungry man.
The exhibitors of fruit are: Mrs r..
