picknicked on the grounds. For thos
who did not, there were extensive a.
commoda.;ons. The Congregations
Circle Of South Paris, the Congregations
Circle of Norway, the Universalist Circl
of Norway, Twitchell Brothers of o.
ford, and A. ]. Lovejoy of South Pari
have for some years maintained each q
eating house on the grounds. This yea
the Universalist Good Cheer Society o
South Paris was added to the list, an
provided for the wants of several hun
dred people at q new booth. Then ii
addition to these places were numerou
temporary lunch counters about tn
grounds, and refreshment stands galore
where more or less substantial foot
might be obtained. During Wednesday
dinner period the waiting list was tel
deep in front of most of the places, Blu
there was plenty of food, and no one hat
to 60 hungry.
PARADE OF PREMIUM STOCK.
1t was as usual half an hour or NOR
late about getting organized and started
but it was a pretty show when it did ge
off around the track, at half-past tel
Thursday morning. With W. c. Cole
the marshal, in general command, there
was first detail of police, then the Nor
way Cadet Band. Following this came
two teams carrying the officers and trus
tees of the society, then the prize ami
mails.
The most striking feature of 1t was o.
course the Hartford string, twenty yoke
of white faced oxen and steers, every
yoke painted blue, and ribbons fiutterine
from nearly every horn.
The procession included one pony
team, eight pairs of work horses, two
pairs of drivers, and twenty-three single
horses, SO single cattle, and forty-one
yoke of oxen and steers-a total of over
$50 prize animals. They marched once
around the track, and the parade was
dismissed.
THE ANNUAL MEETING.
1t took eight minutes to transact the
business of the annual meeting of the
Oxford County Agricultural Society,
which was called to order by President
William j. Wheeler shortly after l
Thursday afternoon. The attendance
was small.
Three trustees were elected to succeed
Charles F. Millett of Norway, j. w.
Libby of Hartford, and E. W. Penley of
Greenwood, whose terms expired this
year. The three were unanimously
elected to succeed themselves.
The term of Henry d. Hammond of
Paris, vice-president, also expired, and
Mr.. Hammond stating that he had served
the society twelve years, declined re-
election. l.. E. McIntire OF Waterford
was elected to succeed him.
There was no further business, and
the meeting Immediately adjourned.
POLICE BUSINESS.
Very quiet and orderly was the i'm
mense crowd, and there was no disturb
ance to be an offence to any one. There
were a few arrests for intoxication,
largely of old offenders, as will almost
always be the case when such number
are assembled. Only one sale of liquor
was charged, although strict watch
was kept. -,
Henry Coolidge of Bethel was arrested
for intoxicatiop, and paid fine of $500
and costs, amounting to S16.22.
Fred GOodnow paid fine of $500 and
costs, amounting to about Sl4.0O, for
Walter Z. Frye and Arthur Staples,
both of Oxford, were fined $1,000 and
costs each for intoxication, and appealed.
Perley Cole of Mechanic Falls, who
was running a game with boards and
balls, was arrested Thursday noon on
the charge of gambling. A hearing was
held in the Norway Municipal Court
Friday afternoon, at which County At
torney Barnes appeared for the state,
and Wright & Wheeler for defendant.
The defence was that the game was not
gambling, as it was trial of skill and
not of chance. Cole was adjudged
guilty and took an appeal. V. W. Will
liams of Portland, who owned the out
fit, had also been arrested, and after
Coles conviction he waived examination
and gave bonds for his appearance at
the Supreme Court.
