The Coliseum.

Although the work of preparing for
the exhibits in this building had been
danC rs rapidly and carefully as posi-
bic. the crowds were kent waiting until
a few minutes after the scheduled
opening hour. before admittance could
be granted.
The fancy work of the Arts Exhibit
has been said by good authority to
be about the most complete variety Of
fancy handiwork which has ever been
exhibited in the State of Maine. Indeed
the pians to make it 50 have been laid
for the past six months and faithful
workers have striven with constant
energy to realize their hopes.
Perhaps the most valuable as well as
the most attractive Of the entire list is
seen OH the original Indian bead and

The Southern Exhibit.

The Southern exhibit, which Occu-

of the exhibits to the fair visitors. The
exhibit was the center of interest to-
day, and it is one of the big hits of the
STOW.
The idea of the exhibition is TO show
to tho Northern farmers and investor
the wonderful resources that are Of
fered In the Southern States for immi-
grants, farmers and investors. With
this end in view. samples of the pro-
ducts of the South are shown, and they
prove to be Of great interest to every
one.
Samples of prepared rice, with cook
books treating of its preparation, are
distributed free to all ladies', and there
Is Il big variety Of other literature with

peek shyly through tent doors and offer

for the insignificant sum of 10 cents.
Others who glory in the luxury of a
manager" or ticket seller charge a
half-dollar for the same service. Posi-

The doll babies, the African dodger,

Pike is one that would be an attraction
