While it is expected that there vii
ibe a large crowd on the grounds
"Wednesday the attendance on Thurs
J day is looked to be the banner one
as on that day Governor Plaisted and
Ibis staff will be here and this is al

A feature never before seen on the
Eastern Maine fair grounds is the
large tent erected over at the further
end of the midway. 1t is the head
quarters of the Salvation Army and
here n number of meetings are held
each day beside several open air
meetings held about the grounds. En-
sign Armstrong has had this tent
erected and to increase the interest
in the meetings has had the New Eng
land Provincial Band from Boston
come here to the fair This band is
composed of 20 musicians and they
play selections in manner creditable
to any similar organization. The real
mission of these members of the Sal
walton Army is to speak in the inter-
est of prohibition and some really eX-
cellent addresses are given by men
who know conditions in cities where
local option holds sway.
Nearly every exhibitor in every de
partment had things arranged on time
Tuesday morning for the opening of
the grounds to the public and by noon

racing card that the fair could be said

With the first comers the spielers
along the Midway began to get busy
attempting to attract the people and
they met with more or less response.

A few late arrivals came to the
poultry department, but Supt. Nc,
