FAIR AND CARNIVAL.
PLANS FOR CELEBRATION ARE
ASSUMING SHAPE.
GOOD PURSES WILL BE GIVEN FOR
HOSE RACEs-LoTS OF MUSIC
EVENING ENTERTAINMENTS

The plans for E.lsworth's fair and
carnival Oct. 1, 2 and 3 are rapidly as
sumiDg shape. In few days the entire
programme will be announced.
Present plans will make the carnival
a big celebration for firemen. Liberal
purses are offered, which ought TO be an
inducement to many companies to par
ticipate.
For the engine contest which will take
place Tuesday forenoon on Main street, a
purse of 300 is offered, to be divided into
three prizes. The purse for the dry hose
race, which will take place at the fair
ground on the second afternoon, is $50,
to be divided probably into two prizes,
OF 800 and $50.
A prize of $50 is also offered for a wet
race, to take place on Water street Thurs
for coupling race at the same time and
place. A prize will also be offered for the
best appearing fire company in the parade
Wednesday forenoon.
There will be no lack of music in Ellis
worth on carnival days, as four or five
bands will be in attendance. The Els
worth and Ellsworth Falls bands have
already been engaged, aud the music
committee is now negotiating with the
Eastport and Bar Harbor bands.
There is good prospect of an excursion
being run from Washington county
during the carnival.
At a recent meeting of the carnival
ftaa fnI pf
ladies was appointed to assist the parade
committee and suggest features for the
parade:
Mrs. George K. Cunningham, chairman !;
Mrs. e. j. Walsh, Mrs. Helen Wiggin,
Mrs. l.. II. Giles, Mrs. Sarah F. Hall, Mrs.
Pearl B. Day, Mrs. Harvard Greedy, Mrs.
w. Il. Parker, the Misses Rubie B. Nc
Gown, Eva Aiken, Hannah Holmes, Mary
Stockbridge, Mary Gaynor, Ray Whiting,
Leonice Foster and Ethel KnowIton.
The merchants will not decorate so
deliberately as last year, but the city will
look gay at night with its strings Of
electric lights. There will be something
doing" too, with dances and entertain
ments at Hancock hall, and the night en-
tertainment at the fair grounds.
The fair association has announced the
following programme of races:
First Day.

IMMENSE LOBSTER POUND. b

south Riu-i,i; e-is Pond Ese;,.. Con-
verted into One.
BLUEHILL FALLS. Sept. 10 Especially
The salt pond here is being converted
into an immense lobster pound, calculated
TO hold somethine like 500 ono Holsters
IL Will be the largest lobster pound on the
Maine coast, II not in the world. Messrs.
George A. Sawyer and Jasper Wyman, of
Milbridge, are the owners. The work of
converting 1t into lobster pound is being
done by Charles B. Pierce, OF Westport,
an experienced pound builder.
The builders have taken advantage Of
natural conditions, and the pond can be
made into an immense pound at mini
mum OF expense. The pond was formerly
the mill pond OF the old CaDdage tide
mill, which stood there for over 100 years.
The small pond is connected from the
bay by narrow inlet, which will be
closed with gates so that water in the
pond can be regulated. It Is a natural
home for Holsters, and workmen engaged
there have found many.
In this pound Holsters can be held in
definitely for better prices in Boston, at
the same time improving In quality and
size. The pound is most conveniently
located for shipment OF Holsters, being
right on the line of the Ellsworth &
Rockland steamboat company. HOLSTERS
may be taken from the pound one day
and landed In Boston the next morning.
Wharves, buildings for keeping bait
and packing house are being built; also
a dwelling for the superintendent Of the
pound. Work on the pound is about
completed and stocking will begin soon.
