THE ORANGES.
II any general statement regarding the
grange exhibits of this year suggests It
self, It 10 that the space IL less crowded
than It has been iu some past years; and
this applies to oil of them. Not that the
exhibits therefore looked skimped or
slim, for the effect is In general good.
Paris Grange occupied it's usual space,
and for decorations on the white back
ground used simple sprays of grain and
small red berries. In all respects the
exhibit was up to the quality maintained
10 former years.
Frederick Robie Grange of Otisfleld
Gore used decorations of yellow on the
white background OF Its space, and filled
1t with the usual variety of farm and
household products. One thing in this
exhibit which, while not strictly an agri-
cultural product, attracted much stten.
,ion, was q picture frame of "fshbone
flowers" These were arranged on q
black background, and we're made of the
bones just as they came out OF the fish.
The Norway Grange exhibit was dec.
Grated with borders made of oat heads,
frightened with high colored crab
apples. Some specially good decorative
effects were In evidence In the arrange
ment of the display. A case of mounted
native birds and another OF brilliant
South American butterflies added color
to the display.
Sprigs OF cedar and bright red crab
apples outlined the space of Hebron
Grange, and the name of the grange ap-
peared in the same red on a solid back
ground of cedar. The toothsome pro-
ductions of the Hebron cooks divided at.
tention with the homespun yarn and
knit goods which looked so warm and
comfortable. Something out Of the
usual line in this exhibit was plate OF
cigars made by D. P. Cushman from
tobacco which he raised himself.
