BLUEHILU FAIR.
One of Most Successful in History

of Association.
The Hancock County Agricul-
tural Society celebrated the Thrift
eth anniversary by one of the most
successful fairs in its history, the
attendance breaking all records for
the three days.
Mr.. Washburn, State commits
soner of agriculture, inspected the
fair on the second day, and con-
graduated the management on the
splendid display of agricultural pro-
ducts and stock, and the live inter-
est shown by the boys and girls
clubs. OF the boys and girls ex-
hibits he said it was the finest he
had seen in the State either last
year or this year
County Agent Bridges gave a
demonstration of the scientific
methods of stock judging that was
greatly appreciated by the farmers.
The midway was unusually large,
and included many new features, the
Lone Star Wild West attracting the
most attention. Following his
regular performance before the
grand stand, the Great Luther
amused the crowd by easily remov-
ing pair of regulation handouts
fastened on his wrists by Sheriff
Wescott.
The Hancock Point ball team lost
both games on the first day, the
morning game to the Badgers to
2, and the afternoon game to
Franklin, 8 to 2.
On the second day, the Eastern
Ponies cleaned up, beating the Bad
gers in hotly-contested game, to
3 and the Bucksport team, 13 to /.
Sargentvlle showed the class on
Friday, winning from the Badgers
10 to 8 and from Brooklin, to l.
The racing was unusually good,
with some hot competition in the
slower classes between the county
horses. The field in each event
was we'll punched at the wire, with
the stand cheering their favorites.
In the 2.19 class, Peter Pan and
Direct Patch forced the famous Mr..
Dell to exert homself to win in four
fast heats, and Direct Patch and
Minnie Be Sure made it decidedly
interesting for Violet Patch, the
favorite in the free-for-all. Sum-
