HERE AND THERE ABOUT THE HALL.
The Powers Music Store, South Paris,
in charge of C.. A. Hersey, was selling
sheet music and sundries at his usual
stand.
The outfit of l.. NJ. Longley, the Nor
way plumber, received its due need of
admiration. His bath room fixtures are
certainly such as will draw attention.
Ii is safe to say that nothing in the
building drew more admiring looks than
the collection which was shown by Nash
of Maine, the Norway taxidermist.
Deers' heads predominated, but there
was in addition a specimen or two of
about everything else in the line of
game which this part of the country
produces, from red squirrel to an
albino deer. One feature of this collec-
ton which looks strange to our eyes is
the head of a wild boar. This came
from the Corbin game preserve in New
Hampshire, where the bears were intro
duced from Europe, and where, so Mr..
Nash Informed the Democrat, they are
multiplying SO fast that the keepers are
instructed to see that certain number
are killed every year.
j. u. Richardson, the South Paris
hardware man, exhibited number of
Herald ranges and heating stoves.
Several fine pianos were shown by w.
j. Wheeler of South Paris, the president
of the society, dealer in musical in
strumentS.
Merrill the photographer, of Norway,
shows the excellence of his work and
his fine taste in finishing and mounting
by an exhibit, mostly of portrait work,
which did not fail to attract the atten-
ton of all who passed.
The exhibit of Miss Libby of Norway
included, besides numerous specimens
of portrait and landscape work, large
line of the artistic souvenirs which she
makes in connection with her photo
graphic work.
A handsome show of cloaks and furs
was made by 5. b. Il Il. 5. Prince of
Norway, in the upper hall.
The amount of fruit to be seen CORE
sponded somewhat with the magnitude of
the general crop. While it was all good,
there was rather less of it than usual,
and it was about the only department of
the fair of which that can be said. A
little of the space generally reserved for
the fruit was given to fancy work which
overtlowed from its usual place on the
other side of the hall.
Samples and circulars regarding Paroid
and Neponset roofing were distributed
by S. p. Maxim 4 Son of South Paris,
who handle those two brands.
Considerable value, both real and
sentimental, is in one collection which
was not entered for prize. In fact, it
is in itself three prizes, won by the rifle
team of Co. d, n. G. S. NJ. The three
are the Governor Hill trophy, which is
not owned by the company, but has been
held by it for three successive years, the
Col. Kendall trophy, which has become
the property of the company by three
successive winnings, and the trophy
secured by the company by winning the
recent New England company team
match at Wakefield, Mass. These tro.
phies give impressive testimony to the
craftsmanship of Co. d.
J. E. Clay of Paris Hill, agent for the
New England Homestead, had stand
in the hall from which he distributed
sample copies and took subscriptions.
The show of field crops and vegetables
in general was hardly up to the average
though why this should be so, with the
good season we have had, is something
of a problem. Collections we're shown
by w. III. Porter, Norway, w. II. Tucker
Buckfield, and Granville II. Porter
South Paris. of these the exhibit o.
largest The background was made O
tobacco plants, and the rest of the col
lection included varied assortment o
all kinds of crops and vegetables.
