handsome colt on the street Tuesday 1t was
handsome black colt and ought to turn out
a fine horse. He is five months old and
weighs 40 pounds, Camden Herald.
SUNDAY AT THE PARK. Last Sunday
park, now in rudimentary condition, but
soon to be made an attractive resort The
grounds, II acres in extent, slope gradually
from NorthpOrt avenue to the bay, and much
of the area having been under cultivation
has been cleared of rocks and may be easily
improved. The many stakes marked the
places where trees were to be set on Park
Day. The Improvement Society's pavilion
was moved last Saturday from the Allyn
field to its new location in the Park on the
water front in about two hours, fourteen
horses hauling it easily on skids. 1t stands
on nearly level plateau, but north of it is
a small gully beyond which the ground
rises. When sea wall is built this gully
should be filled in and the water front
graded, and at some time seats should be
placed along here where people could sit
and look out on the bay. Just south of the
pavilion is natural depression which it is
proposed to utilize as a pond. Next beyond
on rising ground, is thicket of alders
which will be undisturbed. About midway
between the shore and Northport avenue
are two tall elm trees, and three young pine
| trees were set out last week. The beach in
front of the park is the best within the city
limits, and will require very little clearing
up. 1t is of sand and gravel and slopes off
gradually for long distance, thus affording
safe bathing. The bath houses owned by
the Improvement Society will be brought
here later and ovens built for clambakes.
The list of contributions published in an
other column attests the general interest in
the park.
The COMING FAIR. The dates for the
principal Maine fairs have been announced,
and the fair of the Waldo County Agricul-
tural Society will, as before mentioned, be
held in Belfast August goth. 2lst and 22nd
That is not so very far off, and it is none
too soon to begin now to make preparations.
The racing feature will take care of itself :;
that is to say, there is assurance of a good
field of horses as heretofore and attractive
purses are offered. What many would like to
see is a better showing of live stock, dairy
and farm products-a showing that would
be representative of Waldo county. Nearly
two months ago Horace Chenery, ESQ,
president of the society, wrote to members
of the different committees in substance as
follows: GAS means toward giving the
best fair the society has ever held | want
you to begin now and work to obtain the
largest exhibits in the various branches that
we have ever had. You can do more by
talking to people during the summer than
you can by being present all three days If
the fair, and not having done any advance
work. Get everybody to bring everything
they can, and as much as they can and
above all do not forget for one single in
slant during the coming summer that you
can benefit this society immeasurably by
working for big exhibits. Do not leave it
to your officers to do it all. What | mean
by that iS-give your officers all the assist
ance you can, and in this way: give it in
advance work" AS heretofore Mr. j. +.
Wilson will have entire charge of the poul-
try exhibit, which should, and no doubt
will, be made prominent feature of the
fair.
