in having for its very efficient Sec

was the largest of the fair, the best
which the society has yet held.
Financially the deficit of $500, held
over from last year, was cleared up,
and a surplus left in the treasury.
Tho fair was held at Elmwood Park,
on Smithfield road, which is ideal
for the purpose, on dry, level ground
and having fine track and field for
sports. The following are the board

Everett, Conrad Webb. w. c. Per-
kins, III. +. Tobey, Lee Williamson
and G. H. Emmons. The present

Vice Pres, DIR. H. w. Smith; Treas,
F. w. Spaulding: Sec, s. A. Crom-
NETT. Music was furnished through
out the day by the Madison Boys
Band. A ball game between Nor
ridgewock and New Sharon resulted
in a score of p to 5 in favor of
Norridgewock. The usual midway
and eating booths were in full oper-
alton during the day. The races
were unusually exciting, two of them
requiring heats after sunset for a
decision.
In the evening there was a fine
display of fireworks at the park,
with special vaudeville acts by
Messrs. Berry. Abbott and Savage of
Norridgewock. The Town Hall Pic
ture Company put on a special NOV
