The New Belfast Fair.

The New Belfast fair will be held Sept.
10th and 11th. Keep those dates in mind
for nothing has been overlooked in any
of the departments to make this fair the
largest, most instructive and entertaining
ever held Do not fail to attend both
days as it will be the biggest event of the
year. The fair management have spared
no pains this year and it is their inten-
ton to go clear "Over the Top" Get in
the big drive the first day and you will
be sure not to miss anything. All resolve
to 60 and all say to each other Lets
Co." Arrangements have been made to
take care of large number of cattle.
New stalls have been erected and painted
and as good accommodations will be found
on the grounds this year as will be found
anywhere in Maine. Liberal premiums
have been offered in the agricultural de-
partment and in the ladies fancy work
department. There are five classes for
draft horses and oxen and it is promised
that the Boys and Girls Club depart
ment, in which very liberal premiums
have been offered, will be one of the best
exhibits ever seen. Remember that The
New Belfast Fair mad the best exhibit in
this department last year of any fair in
the State Two prizes are offered in the
Red Cross department. The County
Agent, N. S. Donahue, is arranging for a
blowing contest with tractor engines and
it is promised that this will be very in
teresting to farmers. This contest will
take place at ten o'clock in the forenoon
of each day and it is hoped that several
tractors with blowing appliances will be
on the grounds. This will be great op-
portunity for farmers interested to get a
line on the kind of machinery that is
useful and practical along these lines.
Anyone desiring fair catalog giving all
the particulars in relation to premiums
offered in the several departments will
receive one by making applications 70 II.
