Maine Day at Paris Hin.

PdrlS Hill Q8WneQ VIII every prospect
OF q perfect October day, and so It
proved. At this extremely busy season
many were unable to attend the days
festivities, yet the attendance was very
gratifying to those who planned the
event, and the program for the day
passed very successfully.
A ball game supposed to be between
the married men and single men was the
chief feature of the morning. Most OF
the married men seemed to be single,
but the game seemed to be enjoyed never
theless, and helped to make out the
days program.
Soon after II O'Clock an excellent din
ner was served in Cummings Hall for
the benefit OF the fire company. This
proved q financial success, as the re-
ceipts were about $50.
About 2 O'Clock the people gathered
in front of the Baptist church for the
Maine program. This opened with
music, Estate of Maine, My State OF
Maine." The Colonization OF Maine
and Hall of Fame were given by Prof.
E. A. DanieIs; Industries of Maine,
Charles Hammond; Maine Poem, Miss
JEANNE Hubbard; very interesting
description of the big German gun and
experiences ACROSS" Major George
Turner; an original poem, Miss Anesta
Eastman.
The closing feature was the presenta-
ton and raising of the beautiful flag,
the money to purchase the same being
raised by Maine tag sale by the school
boys and girls.
Mr.. Mark Shaw presented the flag,
Mr.. Edward Eastman accepted 1t, while
Mr.. Howard Cole raised 1t to its place
while the Star Spangled Banner was
sung. Three cheers for Paris and the
same for Maine closed the exercises.
