Fernald and Carroll L. Beedy greeted
by full house at the Republican
rally held in Narragansett hall at Cor
ham last night The hall was packed
to the doors with cheering crowd or
Fernald enthusiasts and they gave the
Gubernatorial candidate a sendoff OF
which any man might well be proud.
When Mr. Fernald arose to speak ne
was given an ovation. Mr.. Fernald
asked former Governor Frederick
ROBBIE, who was seated on the plat
form, to speak and Mr.. ROBBIE respond
ed with an enthusiastic address IN
which he urged his fellow citizens TO
help make Mr.. Fernald the next Gov
ernor of Maine.
In the afternoon Mr.. Fernald adj
dressed an equally enthusiastic audi
ence at Casco Castle and during his
remarks took occasion to stamp with
the brand OF falsehood the statement
by one of the Democratic papers of
the State that he had made trade
with certain parties in another section
of the State. Howard Davies spoke
in support of the Republican cause
and was enthusiastically applauded.

of speedy horse flesh at the fair. but

The Coliseum.

Lovers of the beautiful have many
things to wonder at and admire in the

represent a year of strenuous work on
the port of Superintendent j. c. Fuller
and his able assistants. The great

is forced to stop with a gasp of as
constituent when entering the hall. AS
the visitor passes through the main
entrance, he or she is conforted by the
massed beauty of the flower exhibit,
which occupies the center of the hall.
Then the eyes wander aloft attracted
by the glimmering radiance by yards
upon yards of bunting.
The color scheme last year was green
and white, which gave a very chaste
effect to the decorations. This year,
by the advice of Superintendent Full
ler's assistants, yellow was added, aud
the result has been a noticeable
Frightening up of the whole. In dec

were used. and the effect is indescrlb-

department is in charge of Mrs. Ann
