FAIR GROUND IMPROVEMENTS.
New Covered Grand stand to Seat 1OO<
People. Fine Outlook For Fair Of 1904.

New Covered Grand Stand to Seat 1000
PeoDle. Fine Outlook For Fair Of 1904.
The buildings, track and grounds of the
Waldo County Agricultural Society at Bel
fast are to be in better condition for the
fair of 1904 than ever before, with the new
covered grand stand on the west side, back
to the sun, the consequent widening and
changing of the track, and other improve
ments. The foundation stones for the
grandstand are laid, much OF the lumber is
on hand, and the building will be put up as
soon as the frame arrives. The building is
to be 125x35 feet, with 90 foot posts, and the
grand-stand will have seating capacity of
1000 people. The seats will be separate,
with comfortable backs and there will be
ample isles at intervals of u feet. People on
the lowest seats of the grand-stand will be
able to see the feet of the horses all around
the track, condition which prevails on but
few, if any, race tracks in Maine. The
grand-stand will be covered, thus protecting
the spectators from both sun and rain.
The track has been widened and regarded
to meet the changed conditions caused by
moving the grand-stand from the east to
the west side. The stretch is long and
straight and, horseman say, of just the
proper grade. The lower part of the
building will be fitted for an exhibition
hall. road has been built from the
entrance to the grounds, outside the track,
by the cattle sheds to the grand-stand,
there is ample room for spectators outside
the track and no necessity for any one
riding Or walking across the track. The
judges stand has been re-silled and will
be moved to the other side, across the track
from the new grand-stand. The old grand
stand will be taken down, and the lumber
used to build box stalls in the former lower
exhibition hall. The upper hall will be
used for the storage of hay, straw, etc.
About 20 days work by men and as many
by teams have been contributed by
friends of the Society, and there re-
mains much more work to be done.
Seaside Grange has set a commendable
example by holding an entertainment
which netted 1924, and using the proceeds to
buy flag for the Society. The Waldo
County Agricultural Society was never in
better condition than at present and the
outlook for the fair is most promising.

THE NEWS OF BELFAST

Ralph Hayford has received an Osborne
Columbia harvester and binder with 5
foot cut.
The city assessors will have the tax
books ready for the collector in a few days,
They find valuation of real estate to be S.
020,090; personal estate, 1854 436 total val
uation, S2,654,526; number of polls, 1927.
This is decrease of $475 in real estate of
S14,062 in personal, total decrease of Si4,-
sol, and an increase of % in the number of
polls. The decrease is mainly due to a re-
adjustment of values rather than to an ac-
tual decrease in the amount of property
owned here. The depreciation in the gas
plant accounts for IL large percentage of the
falling OF, but the works are IN process of
renovation and will soon assume their for
mer value.
