Tuesday was the opening day of the East
ern Maine State fair at Bangor, and Wednes-
day the steamer Castine took large party
from Belfast to attend this exhibition,
which is said to be bigger and better than
ever before.
The j. KS. gathered for one of their en-
joyable shore suppers last Tuesday evening
on the Condor shore, and had their usual
good time. A delicious picnic supper was
followed by rousing shore fire and corn
roast, and the little company remained
grouped around the blaze until the rapidly
incoming tide warned them of passing time
The supper and entertainment at the
Trinity Church, East Belfast, last Friday
evening was success financially and So
cially. Nearly 175 people were present
The entertainment, given by some of our
most popular local talent who are now at
home on their vacations. consisted of vocal
and piano solos and duets, and readings.
Special credit is due the committee on the
supper and entertainment, to those who so
kindly took part in the entertainment, and
to the near neighbors who cleared their
pantries to help out the supper.
There was Democratic rally in the Opera
House Tuesday evening for which great
preparations had been made. Men were
sent to all the surrounding towns to adver-
tse the affair and the Belfast band was en-
gagged and played in the square before the
meeting. Yet the hall was not filled and of
those present large percentage were wo-
thinks he is running for Congress from this
district, was the first speaker, and was fol-
lowed by ". R. Pattangall of Waterville,
who a few years ago was castgating the
wicked Democrats and exposing their sins
of omission and commission. He is an easy
and fluent speaker, but on this occasion did
not live up to his reputation and dsappoint-
ed many of his hearers.
