BLUEHILL FAIR.
EXHIBITION A SUCCESS IN SPITE
OF CLOUDS AND FOG.
TODD CLAYsoN, VALUABLE STALLION
BY MAINE TODD, BROKE LEG
WEDNESDAY - THE FLOWING
CONTEXT.

In spite OF three days OF dull weather,
without glimpse OF the sun for the
three days, and occasional showers and
much fog, the Hancock County Agri-
cultural society pulled OF its annual fair
at BIuehili last week without postpone
ment. The attendance, OF course, was
nowhere near what it would have been
with clear weather. The big attendance
the second day, considering the weather.
gave assurance that with fair skies this
years fair would have broken all records.
The hall and track exhibition were
good, and the racing, in spite OF slow
track, were pulled on on schedule.
There we're several spills-one on Tues
day, as reported last week. when Noun.
tain Maid turned . complete snmersault,
just after passing the stanc, and cata-
pulled her driver over her head, neither
being injured, and the second on
Wednesday, when the valuable bay
stallion Todd Ciayson, BY Maine Todd,
owned by L. N. McGouldrick, Of Augusta,
fell and broke his leg. Clayson had won
the first heat in the 500 race in 2.36, and
was leading the field in the second heat,
when he fell. Driver Dean Vas not in
jured. A veterinarian from Bangor set the
horses leg and put him in slings, hoping
to save him for the stud.
In the same race Peter West struck the
rail on the turn, and threw his driver,
David Nash, spanning his ankle. The
horse ran away, but checked his speed
when the starter rang the bell. and was
caught without injury.
