BELFAST.
Food Fair Bigger and Better
Than Ever Before.
North Church Guild Entertdins
AtHospitabIe Field Homestead.
A Husband Before Police Charged
With Rantankerousness.

Gay with lanterns, bunting and
flags the Belfast Opera House present
ed an attractive appearance Tuesday
morning when Hon. John A. Roberts,
Commissioner of Agriculture, made an
opening address and pressed the button
which switched on the hundreds of
lights and set the second annual Food
Fair in motion. He was followed by
Morris L. Slugg, president Of the board
of trade, under whose auspices the
fair is held, who made ringing speech
welcoming all to the carnival and ex-
pressing his pleasure at the splendid
showing made by the local manu-
facturers and exhibitors in all depart
ments.
Mayor z. F. Hanson then presented
keys of the city to the management in
a characteristic speech, extending a
cordial welcome to the city to all COM
ers.
The hall is handsomely decorated,
yellow and white bunting being used in
profusion around the balcony rail, with
here and there bunches Of poineetties,
and relieved now and then with flags
and shields. Around the walls, in the
gallery are tle IldsS VI all HdtloilS anu
stringers of signals. The ceiling is
alight with Japanese lanterns with
electric bulbs and a huge red lantern
forms the centerpiece.
The annex is like a county fair and
one of the most attractive features of
the fair. Here exhibits from Waldo
county are shown from needlework,
school art to cabbages and potatoes.
Very interesting place and one which
will attract no end OF attention.
The blowing of all the steam whistles
and ringing of bells ushered in the fair
and it looks like a big success.
One noticeable thing about the fair
of 1914 is the presence of so many local
exhibitors. There are many more
than last year and more local than out
of town exhibitors.

SPORTING NOTES.

Richard Armstrong, the head rowing
coach at Yale, is some spellbinder. IL we
may Judge by the reading of some of his
letters to the oarsmen. The late Mike
Murphy was credited with very effective
oratorical efforts before big games. and
Foster Sanford has been firebrand of
inspiration between the halves of some
football games.
If the intercollegiate indoor champion
ships become annual fixtures, as Is pro-
posed, they may have a serious effect or
the entry lists of the many big meets now
held by athletic clubs. While the B. "A.
A meet has for years been looked upon
favorably by college faculty committees
as college meet, there has been
a growing tendency to discriminate
against club meets. There is a feeling
that the indoor championship meet will
develop indoor dual meets between the
colleges.

FOREIGN CATTLE TRADE.
For the first time since October there
was an expectation of livestock for
the European markets from New York.
The shipment consisted of a cargo of
643 sheep, sailing in the Michigan for
Antwerp There were no shipment for
the Bermudas from New York this
week, as has been the rule now for
some time past. There was, also no
shipment of livestock from Boston
since the cargo of 1000 sheep sent TO
Liverpool, in the last week Of Decem-
ber At that time it was stated that
there would be during the winter small
amounts of sheep exported. as the 9TH
er sources of supply for the English
market was rather limited, but this
weeks expectation has been the first
since those in December.
Importations of dressed beef from
the Argentina are being received in
Boston in fairly heavy supply, and
wholesale dealers say that the quality
is good, but not as high as domestic
beef and can be bought at 81 per cwt
cheaper. At retail no distinction is
made in price.
