The exhibitors in Exhibition hall uu-
der the grand stand. were a little slow
in getting into line but, today they
are all in place and the hall presents a
beautiful sight. There is an unusual
display of farm and trade affairs, COM
prising a greater variety than usual
and including many things of general
interest to fair visitors. The hall is
admirably suited to elaborate display
and the number of people visiting il
on Tuesday and Wednesday,. proved il
it to be a popular spot. this season.
r. 3. Dunning K CO., the great agri-
cultural implement firm, have a small
section here in addition to their regu-
lar space in the pavilion near the Dut-
ton street gate. This is for the eXh-
bitiOn of the De Laval cream separa-
tor, in charge Of Agent skinner. who
gives it an interesting trial daily for
the benefit of visitors.
Benjamin p. Files Of Bangor. has his
steriographosc0pe showing views of
the Passion Play ana other scenes.
h., L
plenty Of business from the hundred;
who want to examine at first hand
actual photographs of this great spec
tace
The Wheeler & Wilson sewing ma
chine people. the Bangor Photograph
60, the Record Jewelry CO.. the man
ufacturcrs Of Wool soap ana a. i. &
j.. f. Goss Of Lewiston. have booths
in the hall that give good displays.
The Record Jewelry GO. has some in
teresting features on exhibition ANA
employs an engraver who attracts at
tention for his quick work.
A spot which draws every house
keeper who passes through the hall
is the tiny but attractive booth of thu
Worcester salt people, in charge Of
Miss q. q. Farnham. who has been
coming to Rangor for years in the in
terest of her house and who is we'll
known To the trade and pleasantly
acquainted socially throughout the
State. With the salt exhibit also is
Fred Brown. representing the COM
pany. Samples of the salt are given
away and it il probably true that
Bangor tables will be thoroughly flaw
ored for the next few days, at any
rate.
Prof. Carl Braun, president of the
American Science Association. has one
Of the most interesting exhibits Of the
whole fair. displaying not only a pOr-
ton of his famous collection of moths.
but a thoroughly instructive and enter
tanning study in real life Of silkWorms
and their culture.
Prof. Braun shows several sheets Of
Japan silkworm eggs, sent him from
the native fields and containing 5.OOo.-
900 eggs apiece. He also has in jars
live silkworms and cOcoons, many Of
the latter partly unwOund and all OF
them filled with interest TO even the
casual observer. He hopes to interest
Maine farmers in silkWorm culture,
because the worms can be raised on
young oaks instead of on the more
delicate and difficult Russian mu.-
berry
George NJ. Holland of Hampden,
prominent as a Granger and State ag-
riculturalist. has an interesting dis
play of his own crayOn, pastel and
pencil work which deserves promi-
nent spot in the art department, but
which he preferred to hang close to
the Grange show in the hall Some OF
these works are worthy of special note.
The pencil pictures are notable in their
tneness Of detail, while some Of the
more ambitious work would be high
ly creditable to a profession, which
Mr.. Holland does not claim to be BY
any means
The Oranges are not making any
special exhibit, this year, much to the
regret Of many visitors to the fair
Mrs. G. NJ. Holland and Mrs. L. $
Cornish Of Hampden Grange, however
have arranged a displaty of flowers
rugs and fancy work which seems To
fill the demand in very good style and
which has been literally complimented
thus early in the fair.
In the hall also are the fruit dis
