The exhibition mile trotted by John Ward,
with running horse, both the property of
Horace Chenery one of the interesting at
fractions of the closing day. "a wonderful
performance was the verdict on this exhibi-
ton from the grand stand. His time at the
quarters was 35, LOS, LAB and 2.15 1-2
The novelty race between the heats was un-
usually interesting particularly in the scoring.
1t was half mile race and the contestants
were the donkey Rags, driven by DR.. Darling,
the Chenery Shetland poney, driven by Walter
Nash, the Kentucky thoroughbred runner
Eulie, owned and driven by Horace Chenery,
and the Mexican mustang Gypsey driven by
Elijah Richie. The donkey showed speed,
but preferred to go after the others, the little
pony seemed to enter into the spirit of fun and
did his best to win, while the mustang and the
runner helped make an amusing race The
Gypsey won in 2.06
Among the horses shown on the track during
the fair was Bismarck, the famous stallion call
ed the Monarch of the home-stretch," which
has the distinction of having lost but one heat
in his career on the track. Bismarck is now 25
years old, but very handsome animal, and is
the property of Horace Chenery of Belfast.
Alclyon, the fastest four-year- old in Maine,
was also exhibited by his owner, H. E. Haley
of Monroe. Hiram B., colt exhibited by H.
M. Fogg of Belmont, attracted good deal of
attention and admiration from the grand-stand.
| A FEW FAIR FACTS.
| There were 20S entries in the premium list
of the fair outside of the cattle and horse de-
partments.
Mrs. Fred Rackliff, one of the committee on
fancy work, played joke, intended for the
committee only, in presenting at the table a
box containing among other things pair of
little old shoes, labeled: "Shoes worn by Soc
rates at battle of Bunker Hill. Made by
Critchett & Sibley, Belfast" small piece of
brocaded silk bore the inscription. Specimen
of ball gown worn by Cleopatra" A little
brass pin was labeled, Brooch worn by EN-
press Josephine A lace collar was marked
"Collar worn by Lafayette during his visit to
this country" A bead bag was labeled, "Bead
bag. Originally belonged to Pocahontas,' and
a little shell with drop of ink in the center,
resembling an eye, "Petrifed eye of Sioux In
dian" A shell ring was marked, "Ring given
to Eve by ADAM and tiny piece of silver,
"'The Widows Mite The committee "got
wise" Immediately and tried its effect on the
public, completely deceiving some of the credu-
lous ones.
