Skowhegan, Sept. 6-Oficials of the
Skowhegan Fair have arranged as
fine card of races as has been seen
in Maine this year, and that means
the best State Fair racing yet. The
time has past when one can question
the class of this fair, for Skowhegan
is now listed as State Fair along
with Bangor, Waterville and Lewis
ton, and this year will excel some OF
the others.
The main exhibition hall is but
seven years old and is of beautiful
architectural design, very roomy, and
built with an eye single to the dis
play of exhibits. The race track Is
two years old and as fast as the best
in the state. A new judges stand mas
been built and new chairs AIDED 10
the capacious grand stand. A press
box is one of the added comforts anu
goes a long way in showing the pup
lie that everything possible has been
done to make Skowhegan Fair fea-
ture event in fair season. None OF
the other Fair Committees have pro-
yided as well for the comfort ana
pleasure of their patrons as this up
river town, and with good roads from
ali directions, TeSoIQ dIIenoo'ASS -
assured each day.
A glance at the entries for the
stake races carded will show that
this fair has the same, and more,
good horses as the other state FAIRS.
With purses on a par with otner
meetings, the following horses were
attracted: .,,oo
