One of the features of the fair which
attracted many of the hall visitors
Wednesday was the fruit display
which was a splendid one. The late
ness with which Topsham fair comes
gives it an opportunity that the other
fairs do not have for securing the
best and most mature specimens OF
fruit and this opportunity was well
improved this year. A large variety
of apples of most excellent quality
was shown, also some very good pears
and quantity of miscellaneous
fruit. Among the larger exhibitors
of apples were: E. A. Drinkwater
and W. P. Policy, Sabattus; B. M.
d
Bowdoin: Howard Jones, Brunswick:
Lewis E. Wright, Woolwich; j. M.
Lamont, West Bath: G. c. Seigars,
Bowdoinham; w. H. Cults, Rich

the art and fancy work exhibit as
announced late "Wednesday afternoon
gave the first prize to Dirigo Grange
of Brunswick and the second to Tops
ham Grange of Topsham.
Topsham fair always has a big
cattle exhibit and perhaps that is one
of the reasons why some of the best
steers and oxen in the state are or
hand ready to take part in the pull
ing contests. The big crowd Wednes-
day made these contests livelier thar
ever taking pronounced sides with one
or the other of the drivers. The
crowd swarmed in onto the pulling
field when the 3-year-old class was
run off in the forenoon and it was
only bv the drivers refusing to take
part farther in the contest unless
they were given a clear field in wh1cf
to null their oxen that the crowd was
kept back.
The Judges in these contests were
