skowhegan, Me-. Sept. 1.-THE
1923 Skowhegan fair is history. 1t
roes down in the history of Maine
fairs as the biggest and best and the
cleanest Somerset County fair ever
held, The cattle, the horses, the
sheep and the hens are returning to
their respective homes; the exhibit
ors are collecting their fine needle
work and the farm produce; the
midway attractions are packing their
tents and moving to fields anew.
while thousands have the memory
of one Of the States best fairs.
High in the air-in the Ferris
vheel-you could get an idea of the
beauty OF the setting of the fair.
On a level plain of land with high
wooded hills to the west, it is an
ideal spot for just such an event,
Friday, the closing day of Athe
four-day fair of the Somerset Cen
iral Agriculturay society, was a big
race day. With the regular clasSe >
run off and the much talked about
free or-all, there was horse racing
enough to satisfy everyone.
Il is understood that would-be
auto thieves were active Thursday
evening, when they endeaVored to
pet away with an auto which was
marked at the end of the midway.
They did not make very good prog
ress, but were captured before they
had gotten onto Madison avenue. 1t
was evident that the culprits were
somewhat the worse for drink.
Aside from the birth of twin cubs
TO Punk. . the lion at the Hamilton
animal side-show, nothing out OF the
ordinary was reported.
Plans are now in progress tor an
other free for-all at Fairview Park'
the date to be announced later. Inc
officers of the fair association are
pushing the matter and it looks as
if the free-for-all will be a leader
in State racing events.
The fair closed, officially, FRIDAY
night. with a big dance in the EX-
hbition hall. The Skowhegan Gu
7ens' Band furnished music for the
dancers and the event was very
CAV one. The midway was the scene

declared he expected decision before

Senator Fletcher then sought unani-
nous agreement that all debate cease
at p. m. Monday, but Senator Jones,
Washington, objected, though he said
he would agree to closing debate Fri
day.
Threaten Night Sessions.
An effort to compromise was made
by senator Smith, democrat. South

Mr.. Jones again demurred, renewing
the suggestion of night sessions if the
minority desired extra time for con-
sideration.
