While a large number of entries
have been received in the different de-
partments the exhibits had not arrived
Tuesday, but were expected during
the late afternoon and evening. Par
ticularly was this true in the live
stock and poultry departments. In the
latter the exhibits are of high class
and it is believed that when the ex-
hibit is completed it will be one of the
largest and best eyer seen at Maine
fair.
In the live stock department exhibits
were arriving all day and by night the
pens were nearly filled. This depart
ment is expected to be even better
than last year, when it was admitted
that the exhibit was one of the best
ever shown at the Bangor fair.
Shepherd M Luce of Carmel is super
intendent of the cattle and sheep de-
partment, Colonel w F. Harding OF
Bangor is superintendent of the horse
department and he is assisted by r.
H. Greeley of Ellsworth, whe is as
sistant superintendent. President
Flavious o. Beal of the association
is again superintendent of the racing
department and has secured an un-
usually large number of entries to the
races scheduled for the fair. A. O. Nc
Laughlin of Carmel is superintendent
of the poultry department.
The Hereford Stock farm of Madi-
son, owned by n F.. Danforth & Son,
has an exhibit of II pairs of Herefords.
John F. Buker of Bowdoinham has q
Guernseys on exhibition. Norman Cur

Of eight Devons. Among the eight are
two bulls, one a 5-year-old. which has
taken premiums for several years: The
other bull is yearling and gives
promise of being as big favorlte with
the judges as the older one.
Pennington is represented by two
exhibits, Mosher & Luce having 10
pairs of Herefords while Frank Gil
bert has two pairs of the same kind.
The large auditorium has been
changed into bower of beauty. AS one
enters the large hall he is struck with
the magnificence of the display. In the
center and running the entire length
of the huge structure is handsome
display of cut flowers, more than one
hundred varieties being represented.
On either side of the hall are the
booths devoted to the displays of the
stocks of Bangor merchants. while be-
tween these booths and the floral dis
play are the cases in which are shown
the fancy work and art novelties.
The auditorium is under the man.
agement of A. S. Field, who, with a
competent corps of assistants, is
hustiing every minute of the day
looking to the comfort of the exhibi-
tors and visitors.
The large exhibition hall in the base
ment. of the grandstand is filled to
overfiowing with exhibits of vegeta-
bles, fruits and manufactured arti-
cles. The exhibit of c, e. Baldic Of
Waterville is as usual the largest in
the hall and is much larger than in
former years. There are several hun
dred varieties of fruits and vegetables
and a good many in each variety. The
exhibit occupies half of one side of the
exhibition haH.
