CENTRAL MAINE FAIR
Continued from Page One)

on the second day Of the Fair, and
tnere was steady line of automobiles
with an occasional team headed for the
grounds all the forenoon. The morning
trains from each way were we'll filled
ana the electrics from the surrounding
Towns brought in their quota. The fine
weather also caused a few more of the
faint-hearted Midway men to get their
attractions in place and there was a
busy scurrying for places during the
early morning. Superintendent Berry

more of the Coliseum were both ex-
ceptlonally busy and the last remain

A Few more exhibits were put in
place during the early morning, nota-
Die among them being the Overland
car with w. E. Spencer. the local
agent IN charge, and the Oakland with
=. II. Goodhue in charge.
The forenoon crowd was apparently
intent on giving the whole of the
grounds a good looking over and was
constantly on the move. They were
everywhere from the exhibition build

the Midway there was a good number

The sheriff and his deputy were kept
busy at the Fair grounds Wednesday
in trying to catch the many pocket
peddlars who were doing a fiourishing
business by the results in evidence.
This year has been a record breaker
for the fair, as to cleanliness, and this
is the first report of any liquor on the
grounds, and no doubt. even this meth
cd will be stopped before another day.
Last evening there were two gentle
men Of this profession at the city mar
shals office and the officers were
looking for more at the Fair in order
that everything may be cleaned up for

Early Wednesday morning the
streets became crowded with automo-
b;les from the surrounding towns, and
also with pedestrians who were wend-
ing their way towards the Fair
Grounds By noon, the Main street
was fairly deserted, as all those who
were able, took advantage Of the rare
good weather and made a day Of It,.
The city was very quiet during the
day, while the majority Of it's people
were making merry at the Fair
Grounds. Governors Day is usually
the big day. but this year, it looks as it

OF course, the Fair could not be a
real one if the pickpockets did not
lend their presence to add to it's
charms, and this year, as usual they
did not fail in this respect. Wednes-
day the first reports of their presence
became known. when Joseph King was
relieved Of $40. The next victim, Ed
Butler escaped a similar treatment, as
the thieves did not seem to be able to
locate the money on his person, which
was a very fortunate thing as he had
a large sum with him. Mr.. King
caught hold of the mans wrist, but
in the great crowds which thronged
the midway, he got away, aud before
help could be obtained he was lost
from sight, and up to late last night
the police we're not able to trace the
pickpockets. although attempts were
tried in every direction. AS neither
Of the reported victims saw the face
of the thief, it was almost an impos-
sible task to find him.
