mere before and that more towns will be
represented. The events Will contain
many features not shown heretofore and
a higher grade OF horse flesh will be
seen. Some IF the best horses in Maine

is on the back Of the pony again.

expense materially and yet afford neces-
sary rooms and accommodations. These
plans impress the school board and were
discussed quite freely at its recent met
