plan for race here.

tom up, and two box cars were so
badly smashed up that they were
burned 1t was necessary to build
temporary track around the wreck.

The directors of the Hancock
County Fair Association of Ellsworth
were guests of the Hancock County
Agricultural Society of Bluehill at a
dinner at Bluehill Inn last Thursday
evening. This was return compli-
ment, the Bluehill fair officials hav-
ing been entertained here few
weeks ago The Ellsworth men were
delighted with the entertainment
given them. The traternizing of the
officials of these two fairs has done
much to cement the friendly feeling
existing between them. They are in
no way rivals, and each contributes
to the success of the other by bring
ing into the county a larger string of
horses than either would attract
alone, and incidentally larger mid
way.
