The Norway Band played for all three
days, and its work was much appreciated
and praised.
The expert judging of thoroughbred
stock was done this year as last by G..
v. Knight of Turner.
Spring water was dispensed free by
the W. c. T. U. in a booth just outside
the hall. The work was done under the
auspices of the county union.
II. W. Record says that his collie,
which was with his sheep, is the most
valuable dog in the state. "She can do
everything but talk" he declares.
The number of horses on the grounds
was so large that they overfowed their
quarters, and stalls for few OF them
had to be secured outside the grounds.
Between heats Thursday afternoon a
trick bicyclst from Massachusetts, did
some very pretty stunts in front of the
grand stand, and afterward passed the
hat.
The rain of Monday and the heavy
roads which it left are probably respon-
sible for the fact that there were so few
automobiles on the grounds. Only a
very few were seen during the fair.
Packages of Pratt'S lice killer, given
by the Pratt Food Co. as special prem
iums, were awarded to V. D. Robinson for
best trio of White Leghorns, and to E. P.
Crockett for best trio White Plymouth
Rocks.
Ex-Governor Perham was an interest
ed spectator at the fair. Though he has
not been farmer since young manhood,
he has lived pretty close to the soil dur
ing his many useful years, and he meets
and greets multitude OF friends here.
Special Officer Nolan of Lewiston,
Charles F. Boober of Norway, and
Charles E. Bennett of South Paris con-
stituted the police force which main.
tanned order during the several days.
They had no burdensome task.
Although the trustees haven't their
balance sheet complete as yet, they
know enough about the conditions to be
sure that the receipts in every depart,
ment exceed those of last year. Proba.
bly, they will get dollar ahead this
year.
1t had been prophesied that the track
record would be "busted" before this
year racing was over, and the expected
duly happened. The last heat of the
free-for-all was done in 2:l6 IA, which
lowers the track record just three sec
onds. That's pretty good going for
half-mile track.
The merry-g o-round at the fair is a
new one on these grounds, which has
been at one Of the beaches all summer
1t is a very smooth running one. The
proprietor says that the best days work
he ever did was at little country fail
where there were about 1900 people or
the grounds. 1t was new thing there,
and everybody wanted to ride.
There was no question about OK sui
eide when the town teams and the Other
classes of oxen and steers were called
out to the show ring Thursday forenoon.
A hundred yoke or more filled the yard
completely, and the remark was general
that il was as fine a lot as had ever
