The display of fruit and vegetables is
small. In the former class Benz. A.
Bailey of Alma. is the exhibitor, and
as far as the exhibit goes it is a good
one. In vegetables the pumpkin crop
| seems to be q fairly good one, ais the
squash. Exhibitors Of vegetables are:
Z. A. Bailey, J. A. Carter, f. c. Jew
EFT, c. J. Cheney, Frank Huntington
and G. +. Moody.
The poultry display is also very
small, but select. The pens are in posi-
ton on the west side Of the old acad-
envy building, and as each pen contains
at least one rooster, there is no need of
advertising this particular feature OF
the fair.
And then the Midway-we must not
forget that. 1t is almost a case Of
though lost to sight, to memory dear. -
To those who have seen this breezy
adjunct of the modern fair in its palmy
days. the one here, today, would remind
them of the tail end Of a procession
where there is only one band and the
band has turned the corner and Is
playing on another street.
Perhaps the reason is that the mer-
y-go-round is not here. TO be sure,
the "hit-the- moke" man and woody
headed babies" the fruit vendors and
the man With the striking machine are
there but there is not noise enough
this is Just what the merry go-roUnd
would help out on. Eut it is not here.
It is said that the man could not gel
team at Gardiner to haul his para
rhernalia to the fair grounds, hence
his non-appearance-
The feature of the afternoon was
the races. and probably something iikt
2500 people saw the miles reeled off IN
the two classes.
There was nothing sensational inI
either class but they We're fairly close
and amused the crowd. The judges
are: Fl. II. Lee, starter; ]. Nj
Nichols D. r. Moore, of Augusta. and
A. NJ. Pinkham of South Gardiner
timer Forrest Chase of Whitefeld,
