Was Most Successful and Enjoyable Yet
Held.
The sixth annual fair by Calais grange
was held at East Calais Saturday, Sept
20, and was the most successful and en-
joyabe Of any yet given. The weather
was perfect and a large number of peo-
pie gathered to see the many exhibits
and enjoy the music, which was fur.
nished by the Marshfeld brass band.
The displays were above the average,
especially the vegetable exhibit, also the
flowers, which were shown in great pro.
fusion. Stock, poultry, fruit, canned
goods, antiques, etc, were included in the
list of exhibits. Money premiums were
given by the grange, also blue and red
tags. Special prizes for certain exhibits
were given by the merchants and other
interested citizens.
The sports, consisting Of running,
jumping, vaulting, etc, were interesting,
and the baby contest at 2 o'clock was
one of the features of the day, The
campfire girls, with Mrs. Arthur Clark
as guardian, had booth and did thriv-
ing business selling homemade candy
The committee in charge of arrange
ments deserve great credit for making
the fair success, and the committee
on dinner found the work much easier
this year than formerly, ms the serving
could be much more quickly and easily
accomplished in the large new dining
room of l. 0. G. t. hall.
