That this is therday of the white shirt
waist was plainly shown by glance at
the packed grand stand.
"Did he really bite the snakes head
off" was the all important question
that the reporter heard one child asking
another.
CIV. Knight of Turner Centre was
the expert who judged the thorough
bred cattle on scale of points, as is now
specified by the state law.
This is the first year that automobiles
have figured in force at this fair. Eight
or ten of them were on hand Wednesday,
most of them coming from Lewiston
and Auburn.
The bureau of lost articles has in its
possession a boys vest and a child's
sack. Among the lost articles not found
were several ladies' pocketbooks, one of
them containing nineteen dollars.
One of the interested spectators was
S. V. Abbott of Rumford, commonly
known as "Uncle Vint". He is 81 years
old, and almost-not quite-as lively as
boy. Really, as all his acquaintance
know, he is remarkably smart for man
of his years.
The Norway Band played Wednesday
and Thursday, and earned many compli-
ments for the quality of its music. The
band is doing good work, and is an or.
ganization to be proud of. The new
uniforms appeared out on this occasion.
They are the reverse of gaudy, being of
plain black goods with black trimmings,
but are very neat and pretty.
Don't know how a little experienc
will affect the matter, but as it stands
now there is universal dissatisfaction
with the score card method, which the
last legislature made requisite to Sc
curing the state stipend. For a fair
where the cattle are on exhibition only
one or two days, the system appears, at
least to the non-experts, to be unneces.
sarily cumbersome. There are lots OF
men who think they know good animal
when they see one, sufficiently we'll fol
the purposes of country fair.
Editor E. P. Mayo of the Turf, Farm
and Home, Waterville, was an interested
spectator. 81 always like to come to
the Oxford County fair" says Mr.. Mayo
sIn the first place there is no other fail
ground in the state that has a finer set

Then all, and particularly the officers
take hold 80 earnestly to make the fail
a success. And last, but by no meanl
least, like it because the people are al

Costly Fire at Barnum d Baa1eyss
sWinter Quarters.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Feb. 25.-Fire
yesterday partly destroyed the new
brick ear barns at the winter quarters
Of the Barnum & Bailey circus on the
west side of this city and burned a
number of cars belonging to the circus.
The loss is estimated at 100000, on
which there is an insurance of $33, 600.
The fire originated in the south end
of the building and was caused by a
lamp falling to the floor in the midst
of a quantity of benzine and other in
f1ammable material. Two alarms of
fire were Immediately rung in and six
fire companies responded. The entrance
of the building was a mass of flame,
which prevented the removal Of any Of
the cars, but a dreproof partition in
the middle of the building was dropped
and saved twelve of the cars in the
north end of the structure.
Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned during the removal Of fourteen
elephants which were quartered in a
building adjoining the car barns.
The show is due to open in about
three weeks at Madison Square Gar
den, New York superintendent John
McLachlan is authority for the state
ment that the opening will not be de-
layed, despite the inconvenience caused
by the fire.
