SOME OF THE RUM BUSINESS.
Sheriff Tucker and some of his depu.
ties were on duty at the grounds, and
several arrests for intoxication were
made during the course of the fair.
Edward Chandler of Portland, arrest |
ed Wednesday, paid fine and costs. /
H. Larry of Gilead also paid fine and
costs.
Peter Dyer, arrested at Norway by
Deputy Sheriff Cross Friday night, is
serving his thirty days.
Clinton Poland of Mechanic Falls was
captured Thursday in the southeast
corner of the grounds, with two bottles
of liquor on his person, two more IN his
wagon, and other indications of sales in
his possession. He was found guilty OF
illegal transportation at hearing IN the
Norway court, and fined $50 and costs.
He at first decided to appeal, but later
retracted his decision, and took ms
medicine of thirty days in default OF
fine.
There were evidences Of little
'tanglefoot" on the grounds; not much
but yet, too much.
The Norway Cadet Band furnished
a good quality of music for the races
Thursday and Friday afternoons.
One of the most elaborate of the silk
quilts exhibited was made by Celia F.
Millett of North Waterford, Z years OF
age, and contained $500 squares OF silk.
Starter Morrill, did his work in man
ner to command approval. 1t cost $40
to score down to the wire ahead OF the
pole horse, and it was not much OF day
for bargains, either.
A portrait in the art exhibit which
was recognized by great many people
was crayon of Alden Chase of Bryant''s
Pond, and was the work of his grand
daughter, Miss Ethel Ford.
The merry go-round was the property
of Archie r. Heath of Gilead, and is the
same one which has sent the children
round in the giddy whirl in many past
years. AS usual, it did land office
business.
The facilities for giving the people
who wished it good square meal were
practically the same as last year, and
nobody had occasion to 60 away hungry.
AS for ice cream and light refreshment
stands, their number was legion.
The palmists who occupied tent on
the midway did large business in the
hand-reading line, and told many people
many things that they Thought nobody
else knew" Whether they told anything
that they didn't know themselves, is
another question.
