BLUEhA.44 FAIR.
Perfect Weather Brings Record
Breaking Atten,....~>. :.

tain Park, Bluehill, and with an at
tendance which breaks all records
for this fair.
The managers put on a good show,
with fine exhibits in al. departments,
though the agricL..ulai eXh-,-. was
smaller than usual oecause of the
poor season. However, the exhibits
by the boys and o. agricultural |
clubs helped out wonderfully in the
hall exhibit.
The center OIL attraction in the |
livestock exhlDlt were Lue pure-bred |
Holstein and Guernsey bulls from |
the Thorsen Farms-handsom ami
mails, perfectly groomu>- for eX
hibition purposes.
There were good races and base
ball games, a lively midway and
many free attractions.
BOYS AND GIRLS EXHIBIT.
The boys and girls agricultural
clubs made an exhibit that was
feature of the fair. 1t was an i'm
pressive showing of what the Extern
sion Department of the University of
Maine College of Agriculture is do
ing to train the boys and girls of the
State in agriculture and home max
ing.
There were 16S exhibits, including
garden products, potatoes, canning,
sewing, poultry, cooking and house
keeping. Premiums of $500 offered
by the Hancock county banks and
$175 by the fair association were dis
tributed.
Two girls from the Hancock club,
Mrs. Foss leader, gave demonstra-
ton in canning before 1000 people in
the grand stand.
The potato exhibit was excellent,
the specimens being of fine size
smooth and fine Tomatoes, beets,
turnips, carrots, parsnips, cucumbers
and beans were also shown.
The canning exhibit included
beans, field strawberries, plums,
peas, corn on the cob rhubarb, car
rots, apples, raspberries blueberries,
beets, gooseberries, cranberries, ivory
plums, currants, parsnips, shelled
beans, peaches and grapes. All these
looked good enough to eat bright
and well processed.
The cooking products included
bread, buns, doughnuts, cookies, pies
and frosted cakes.
BASEBALL.
There were two good games of
baseball Thursday, between Bucks
port and the Bluehill Badgers, the
Badgers winning in the morning by
the score of IL, and in the after
noon by the score of 81.
The morning game was full of
thrills In the first and fifth in
nings, the Badgers completed two
double plays, and in the second in
ming made a triple play, which is
something pretty good for a small
town team. Smith, Bucksport's ace,
struck out fifteen batters, but there
were enough of them that did not
strike out so eleven hits were
chalked up against him. Doucett,
pitching for the Badgers, allowed
seven hits and struck out twelve
men.
The afternoon game was full of
brilliant playing. Williamson, Bos-
ton university star pitched the best
that was in him, but it was not good
enough, as the Badgers had their eye
on the ball. Clough, as usual, had
the Bucksport batters eating out of
his hand.
