Brightest OF Prospects for the
Central Maine Fair This Week,

1.-THE fair never had brighter as
pect, said President Martin F. Bart.
| lett to a Journal reporter Sunday, as
he looked from the administration
| building toward the rapidly growing
| Midway. Although the fair was tive
days distant the number of exhibitors
at the grounds Sunday would have
been a credit to any fair But this is
not ALL said Mr.. Bartlett I'VE will
| have twice the Midway that we have
ever had before Things never looked
brighter
! For the past two days there has been
| a continual line of teams on their way
| to the Central Maine fair grounds The
trains on both days since the close of
the Bangor fair have brought the peo-
| pie and judging from the number of
| tents that had been constructed Sun
| day the words of President Bartlett
will certainly come true.
1t was a quiet crowd but every one
was busily engaged in putting the fin
ishing touches on their booths and
tents and making ready for the open
ing day Tuesday. All that is wanted is
fair weather and this fair will surpas
everything in the state. Why? Because
the Central Main has the finest exhibit
ton halls, the largest number of en-
tries in the cattle department, the fin
est number of horses ever on track
in the State and is easily reached from
any section of the state.
The huge combined exhibition hall is
beginning to assume the air of beauty
and the exhibitors were busy as bees
Saturday and Sunday. With no excep-
ton the Coliseum this year will bs.
more attractive than ever. The Colt
scum and exhibition hall have been
Joined, giving much more valuable
floor space and making it more con-
venient for the people. Everything is
now under one roof. From the north
end of the Coliseum the people may
reach the newly fitted hall over the adj
n,inistration building. A large flight
of stairs has been completed.
Strolling down from the Coliseum
through the Midway the reporter came
to the horse stalls, where this year
are quartcred more horses than ever
before. And they are the best OF them.
The Muster Hill farm with its fine
string, occupies a conspicuous place.
Then there is Frank Hayden with his
list of winners just from the Bangor
fair. Seven firsts out of IL races is a
very good record and his horses were
the attraction Sunday. G. H. Simpson
Of this city has some good ones and
Buster Richardson of Clinton has
his usual number of prize winners.
There is considerable rivalry this year

A HOT RECEPTION
Instead of Dollar Demanded of Con-
stable Simpson by Unknown.

II want a dollar, and l want il
quick" said a rough looking man, who
approached Constable Fred L. Simpson
in Winslow Saturday night. But be-
fore he got the money he caught sight
of a revolver and heard a shot fired di-
rectly over his head, and he jumped
into thicket and down the river bank
near the coal shed.
Constable Simpson was patrolling
his beat and the man jumped upon him
rather unexpectedly. 1t is very dark
and secluded spot that the highway
man took. but he was not so bold when
the officer pulled the gun.
Constable Simpson followed for a
short distance and later with other
men made a search of that section of
the river bank, but found no one an
swering the description.

1t has been a long time since there
has been so large crowd of people on
Water street as on Saturday night and
in point of numbers the scheme of
holding band concert up and down
the street can be said to have been a
great success. The band marched up
Water street to Brunswick, back again
down to the library and then around
into Depot square and made the trip
several times. The Saturday night
trade is generally heavier than any
other night in the week and so the
merchants could hardly say whether
or not the scheme produced results in
trade in excess of other Saturday
nights but so many people being on the
streets a larger number than usual
visited the stores. 1t is probable that
the plan will be tried again in a weel.
