GRAND OPENING
CENTRAL maine
FAIR SEPT. FIRST

Only a few days now before the
grand opening of the Central Maine
Fair which takes place Tuesday morn
ing, Sept. /. and will continue Sept.
2-3. There will be better exhibits
than ever. better races, more cattle, a
larger grand calvacade, more and bet
ter free acts. dancing, and fireworks,
but the feature attraction of them all
will be the Miller Bros. Shows, who
has the Midway this season. The Mil
Ter Bros. Shows come direct from The
Three Rivers (Quebec) Exposition and
make the longest jump ever made by a
show of this nature to keep it's con-
tract with the Central Maine Fair.
The special train of 25 cars, 800 peo-
pie, Is expected to arrive here some
time Sunday. The show will begin to
unload uRon it's arrival and will try
to make an informal opening Monday
night with a free gate. 1t is hoped
che weather is with the fair this sea-
son, as the fair association expects
the largest attendance they ever had.
While the show is in Three Rivers it
has played to the largest business ever
experienced at that exposition. The
fair committee has spared no pains
to make this seasons fair surpass
any that have been held. The races
will be of the fastest, the exhibition
of every department far exceeds those
of former years, the free vaudeville
and fireworks are best that can be Sc
cured. All these together go to make

DISCUSS FISHING
TOPIC AT MEETING
HOTEL ELMWOOD

F1sh1ng was the principal topic of
conversation at well attended
meeting of summer camp people and
WaterVille citizens at the Elmwood
motel last evening. Willis Z. Par
sons, chief game and fish commits
sloner of Maine; Richard J. Upton,
hsh and game warden of Kennebec
county, and John r. Flint, warden
of Piscataquis county, were among
those present and the attendance of
the State officials made the meeting
all the more helpful and satisfactory.
The meeting was conducted by the
Summer Citizens Bureau of which
Harry S. Brown of this city is the
president.
Following the supper the guests
were introduced to one another by
MIR. Brown and each was called upon
to say a few words concerning the
fishing conditions as he saw them.
Mr.. Brown urged that the meeting
be informal, stating that it's purpose
was to view the conditions from diff
ferent angles and to see what steps
could be taken to restock the lakes
of Central Maine wherever 1t is
needed.
S. l.. Haynes, the manager of the
North Pond club was of the opinion
that there is need of restocking, es-
pecially in black bass.
Another gentleman said that the
matter of fishing was of Importance
to all the people of Maine. He
maintained that Maine is advertising
herself as a good place for fishing
and that if this is to continue to be
the truth there would be need of
restocking in the near future. On
McGraw, where his camps are locat-
ed, the fishing has been good this
summer and he said that If present
conditions were to obtain the pond
could be left as it now is.
Charles A. Hill of The Belgrade
House spoke strongly in favor of
feeding station at North Belgrade
and he said that If one were to be
established there he felt quite sure
that there would be no trouble in
five years to come. The fishing, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hill has been better
this wear than it has been for the
past five.
He wondered If it would not be
good plan to do away with the present
12-inch law on bass and go back to
the 12-inch law which was in effect
few years ago. saying that many of
the understood fish which are put back
into the water are injured internally
SO that they die Mr.. Hill pointed out
that during the last three years $500
had been spent in restocking the Bel
grade chain and that some 100000
small black bass had been put into the
water.
George, T. Joyce of Camp Taconnet
on Great Pond was against fly fishing
for bass while spawning is going on,
and he aso wished to know whether or
not the many speed boats that are
going over the ponds at the present
time did not harm the fish.
While the various guests had been
talking Mr.. Parsons had been making
notations of the points they had
brought up. and when he was called
upon to speak he promised his sup
port to the speakers and he said that
he would look into the matters that
had been raised. Z
Those present were: Willis z. Par
sons, Dover -Foxcroft, Maine fish and
game commissioner; Richard ]. Upton.
