CONTINUED from page ~

" - INC upper station, coming Dy
the way OF Winthrop, at about 1890
O'Clock, and were met by a reception
coiliiiiittee and driven to the grounds,
escorted by City Marshal Wing and a
squad of mounted police.
me party arrived at the grounds at
lilo and as they entered the main gate
the brigade Band, which was stationed
INSIDE, greeted them with Hail to the
Chiel. Inc band then Joined the pa
faoe ana the party was shown over the
GROUNDS, after which they returned to
the Dewitt House for dinner.
AT about o'clock, the partv returned
to the park, where they were met by
the mounted police, and headed bv the
oaiiu were escorted to the grand stand,
Where Sov. Hill and party occupied
boxes TO ENJOY the afternoon program.
III tne carriage with the Governor were
Ex-Governor Garcelon, Adjutant Cen
erat fafnham, and Mayor Shelton of
Lewiston. Ex-Governor Garcelon was
the guest of Governor Hill at dinner at
the Dewitt, and during the afternoon.
1t was pretty feature of the Chief Ex-
ecutive's visit.
Inc program of the afternoon posed
OH Wlthout a hitch, and every feature
was at It's best. The stage performance
ellclted applause without stint, and
the performance by Madame Schell and
her hons, as well as the acrobats, could
hardly be excelled.
Another feature that appealed more
directly to the stock breeders was the
parade of the prize winners. In it We're
shown large number of animals and
no such showing of high grade stock
was ever seen before on a Maine fair.
And then the races. Anyone who
would not enthuse over such races
would not enthuse at all.s But they did
enthuse. The track was perfect, the
classes were well filled and the wealth
er was hot enough for fast work, and
the combination produced some good
races.
That the trotting was appreciated
was attested by the rOars which went
up from the grand stands. The great
structure was black. white and red
with humanity, and every event was
greeted with round after round of APP
plause.
The program of the afternoon closed
With another balloon ascension which
was very successful. Prof. Kabrick is
the best aerOnaut that has looked down
at the earth from above the Lewiston
fair.
Here are Il few figures to show how
the fair is going, handed to the Journal
by Sec'y. Clarke: The gate receipts,
Tuesday. We're $303O6O, and Wednesday,
$5611.7O. and Mr.. Clarke estimated that
hA into I,
that of Wednesday.
Tomorrow closes the fair. Thus far
it has been all that could be desired.
and when it closes it will go on record
as one of the most successful ones in
the history of the society.
