CENTRAL MAINE FAIR FOR 1909
IS NOW AN ASSURED FACT

The Central Maine Fair Association
will hold its fair this year as usual,
contrary to all previous reports that
the association would not be able to I'M
tansle itself from the financial crisis
into which it was thrust Although
late. the news is received with gladness
by all citizens both far and near, for
dropping the fair for only one year
would mean more to the city of Wa
terville than anyone thinks The
sixth annual will be bigger and better
than ever before and the directors are
hustlng even if it is late, to get the
better class of attractions and will do
SO before long.
The directors have managed to Sc
cure an amount of money with which
to purchase the grounds from the Wa
terville & Oakland Railway Co. This
was the great hindrance of the asso-
cations being unable to start things
in motion before; but now that this
barrier has been removed things will
start as never before and the people
may rest assured that the fair this year
will be first-class in every particular
The coliseum. which was destroyed
last winter by the heavy snow, will be
rebuilt, even at heavy expense and
the department of exhibits and art
will equal that of former years. Con-
siderable talk was made of substitute
ing large tent this year for this de-
pdrtment. but careful advisers would
not think of such thing.
1t is also good to know that J. c. Full
Ter. who has made such a success of
this department in previous years, has
been retained for another year in this
capacity. He realizes the lateness of
the season but is confident that he can
turn out another success. He is now
busily engaged in choosing his super
intendents, who will have charge of the
different parts. That part is in good
keeping.
The dates this year of the fair will
be Aug. 81, Sept. l, and 3, four days
instead of five. and opening Tuesday

shutting this order. and that they were
shipped to Oakland in a car, and from
that point they were reshipped to Farm

trees We're sold with an agreement that
all trees not growing the first spring

more trees and as he was informed that
10 more trees had died he agreed to re-
place those and they were sent with the
