The prospects for the Bar Harbor horse
show are very bright, and Secretary yoss
thinks it will be the record show in the
history of the Bar HRrbor fair association.
Not only are there as many entries as last
year, but the class OF horses is considera-
bly, better.
The entries for the running races, which
are new feature in the Bar Harbor horse
show, came in very fast, and include en-
tries from horse owners in New York,
Hartford and Boston.
There will be between three and five
running races each day of the show, one
of which will be one-miie steeplechase,
running under jocky club rules and with
the regulation weights, jocky colors, etc.
There will also be a half-mile speed test
for four in hands around the track, and a
jumping class, to be contested over four
jumps, arranged in front OF the grand
stand.
Special excursions will be run by the
Maine Central each day from all points on
its lines. There will be special buck
board rates between the steamboat wharf
and the horse show grounds.

STATE ASSESSORS.
Board Meets Town Assessors OF Han
cock County In Ellsworth.

Board Meets Town Assessors OF Han
cock County In Ellsworth.
The State assessors were in session st
the court house in Ellsworth last Thurs
day, reviewing assessments of towns in
The board of State assessors is composed
of Otis Hayford, OF Canton, the veteran Of
the board, who has been in the office
fourteen years; George Pottle, of Lewis
ton, who is just entering upon his third
term OF six years after twelve years SER
vice; F. NJ. Simpson, 81 Bangor, and
James Plumner, Of Augusta, who has
been clerk to the board for thirteen years.
The practice Of Maine in keeping in
offices OF this kind requiring expert know
ledge and experience, men of proved abil
ity, is fully justified in the excellent
work of the State board of assessors.
The Haacock county towns which were
represented before the board here by one
or more of their assessors were Amherst,
Aurora, Bluehill, Brooklin, Brooksville,
Bucksport, Castine, Dedham, Ellsworth,
Franklin, Hancock, Lamoine, Mariaville,
Mt. Desert, Orland, Otis, Penobscot,
Surry, Stonington, Trenton, Verona and
Waltham. Isle au Haut was represented
before the board at its meeting in Rock
land. From here the assessors went to
Bar Harbor.
THERE'S no better barometer of business
conditions in the State than the sentiment
of the town assessors as expressed before
the State board. Secretary Plummer, of
the board, says that this year there has
been general good feeling throughout
the State. A peculiar fact to which he re-
ferred is an apparent tendency toward
better values for inland property, aban-
doned farms, etc, and away from shore
property.

Falls, ana one brother George G., Of

ing of women. She possessed a charm of
manner and sweetness of temperament
that endeared her to all with whom che
came in contact. She had travelled ex-
tensively, both in this country and
abroad, and wss well informed.
Her death will be sincerely regretted by
a host of friends, and the warmest sym
pathy goes out to the stricken family.

his son, went ashore on Bunker's ledge at

The Newtown bee., 1905-09-22

The year of 1905 will witness the 10th annual fair of the Newtown Agricultural society. From the be- ginning, in 1896, the growth of the fair has been remarkable. It now ranks among the first of the 3S agricultural societies of Connecticut. Aside from the great show of horses the exhibition of cattle and the display of fruit, veg etableS and fancy work is second to none. Let all the old exhibitors and as many new ones as can possibly do so, be prepared to make a good exhibit at the fair, this year.
 Newtown is admirably situated for holding fair. The grounds are only a five-minute walk from the station. The New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad Go. will sell excursion tickets on it's main line as far as New York, and on it's Berkshire, Litchtield and Highland branches. Special trains will be run and everything per taining to the comfort of patrons and exhibitors will be attended to. All the buildings have been newly painted and other Improvements made which will make the grounds more attractive than ever. The fair will be held for three days, September 26, 27 and 29. If its should prove stormy it will be continued the last days of the week. Telephone connection during the fair. P. H. Mccarthy, Secretary.
