THE WALDO COUNTY FAIR.
Good Attendance, Good Weather, and Good
Races.

Good Attendance, Good Weather, and Good
Races.
The fair and races of the Waldo County
Agricultural Society at their grounds on
Belmont avenue, Belfast, Sept. End, Sd and
4th, were highly successful financially and
otherwise. Sept. 1st the day advertised for
the opening of the fair, the weather in the
morning was unfavorable and the trustees
decided to postpone one day. The weather
that could be desired and the attendance
was larger each day than on the correspond
ing days last year. Wednesday was the
best first day in the history of the society.
The receipts from admissions, grandstand,
land rent and sales of score cards were
the society to continue the improvements
on the grounds and buildings and insure
larger exhibits and better fairs in the future.
The new cattle sheds built this year pro-
vided accommodations for showing the
stock to better advantage, and the sheep
and swine pens were better filled than usual.
The showing of horses and colts was good,
and the poultry exhibit had some fine speci-
mems in various breeds. The hall shows
were also of fine quality though not SO large
in quantity as in some former years. The
entries and awards were as follows;
