Weather. Exhibits Fine Races Never
Better. Midway and Pavilion Lively.
The cattle show, fair and races, at the
Fair grounds will make the season of
1919 the best ever. There are $1,000 in
purses and an unusually long list of en-
tries, including some of the best horses to
be seen in Maine this season. Each day
will be big day with something doing
morning, afternoon and evening. The
chief speciality, Lieut. Potter of the Royal
Flying Corp, was detained at Portland by
engine trouble, but left there Tuesday
for Belfast. He will do all the stunts an
experienced flyer can do.
The hall exhibits, the poultry depart
ment, the school displays, the fancy
work, the Red Cross and baby booth, the
canning exhibits, the Boys and Girls
Club display are all we'll filled and wor-
thy of inspection.
The stores and all places of business
will close Thursday afternoon and even
ing.
The New Pavilion.
The new pavilion was formally opene d
Saturday night with dance when Keyes
orchestra furnished music. Over four
hundred were present including parties
from Rockland and from about every
town in Waldo county. The building is
70 feet long, has a polished and waxed
hard wood floor. The opened beams and
rafters are painted green in contrast to
the natural wood. There are nine large
opened windows, a fine orchestral stage,
a check room, refreshment department
with inside counters and q mems club
room, ETC., that open from the outside. 1t
is one of the most practical ideas the
New Fair Asso. has advanced and is al
ready very popular place.
The Electrical Display.
One of the most interesting exhibits at
the fair is the booth of the Penobscot
Bay Electric Co. This is their first ap-
pearance on the Fair Grounds as the
Juice had not been installed on the
grounds until this year They are giving
an interesting and instructive exhibition
of what electricity will do in the home
and on the farm. This exhibit is in charge
of H. D. Cunningham of Watervllle, who
is giving his special attention to electric
cooking, washing, cleaning, sewing, in
fact everything that will lessen the labor
in the home. This is the 'bright spot"
at the fair
One of the exhibits that is made use of
by all nearby exhibitors is the Paul Elec-
tric Water System. This automatic pump
ing plant takes water from a well and
delivers it under pressure at the booth
exactly like city water, where it is drawn
from tap to demonstrate the apparatus
and for the accommodation of any ex-
hibitors who desire it. This feature is in
charge of Mr.. j. F. Stinchtield, pump ex-
pert of the Central Maine Power Co who
finds himself busy man explaining to
the farmers how they may now have
water under pressure piped through their
house and barn. The Central Maine Pow
er Co, and allied companies, after having
carefully studied the field for mechanical
mixers, have realized that the milking
machine is already & necessity to the
farmer who keeps fifteen or more cows.
This company, after carefully making a
study of the different makes of mixers
on the market has decided to handle the
Pine Tree Mixer, on account of its high
grade Of material, its extreme simplicity
and its accessa bility. These features have
already appealed to many experienced
users. This machine is being demon
strated at the booth of the Penobscot
Bay Electric Co. by the Messrs. Sanborn
and Shuman, representatives of the Ames
Agricultural Implement Co of Boston,
distributors for the Pine Tree Mixer for
the New England States. They will be
glad to show the machine in operation to
any one interested.
