FAIR AND CARNIVAL.
PROGRAMME FOR ELLSwORTH's
THREE DAYS OF FUN.
SOMETHING DOING FROM EARLY MORN
ING UNTIL LATE AT NIGHT
BIG CROWDS COMING.

The programme for Eilsworth's three
days. carnival and fair, Oct. /, 2 and 8, is
complete, and is printed below. There
will be something doing from early
morning until late at night, indeed the
days win be one continuous round Of en-
joyment - the late departures from the
ball will doubtless meet the early risers
on their way down town for the morning
band concert.
There will be big crowds here; that is
certain. 1t is impossible at this early
date to say just what engine and hose
companies will come, but from the In
quiries received 1t seems evident that
many are planning. Calais has gilt-edge
hose team with carriage and horses which
is coming after the prize for the best
looking fire company in the parade.
They are coming Monday to stay right
through the three days. They will bring
q crowd with them.
There will certainly be excursion rates
on railroads, and in all probability q
County road. At Monday evenings
meeting OF the carnival committee the
following special committee was APP
pointed to look after this matter: Mayor
A. w. Greedy, II. E. Davis, H. r. Ham
lin, B. T. Sowie and H. W. Cushman.
There will be lots OF music. The two
Ellsworth bands and the Eastport band
have been engaged, and there will be
others.
