A new shed built on the grounds since
last year contained twenty-six double
stalls, and all were full, beside the old
stalls. c. S. Cummings. of Portland, the
expert who judged the cattle, pronounced
it one OF the finest exhibits he had ever
seen.
The premium list tells the story of prize
winners.
HALL EXHIBIT.
The exhibit at the hall was small. One
reason for this was the backward spring
and early frost, but the principal reason
was the weather of the first of the week,
which prevented many from bringing in
exhibits.
There was only one grange exhibit
East Bluehill-and this was awarded first
premium. This exhibit, in addition to
the agricultural products and articles
of domestic manufacture, contained other
articles of interest, among them a collec-
ton of curios which included a punch
pitcher 200 years old, beer stein $50 years
old and pewter platter 100 years old.
BALL GAME.
The ball game Wednesday between
Bucksport and Stonington mines was close
and exciting. 1t was unfortunate that it
did not take place on Thursday, when
there was larger crowd present to enjoy
it. Bucksport won by the score Of to a.
The score by innings follows:
2 A 8 IS
Bucksport... q 0 0 l 0 2 0 0-6
Stonington. 100 0 2 0 0 o.
The dances at the town hall each even
ing of the fair were well attended. Music
was furnished the first evening by Mon
aghan's orchestra, of Ellsworth, and on
other evenings by Wilson's orchestra, of
Ellsworth Falls.
