On his shaggy back was strapped a
box with slit in the top of it. On
the box was a sign saying the dog
was empowered to collect money for
the benefit of railway charity. He
knew when every train was due and
he was always at the right platform
to meet passengers as they got off.
People got to knowing him. They
would drop money into the box and
they'd stop to pat him. He was every
body's friend, but he never forgot he
was working for the<railroad company.
He'd trot from person to person and
stand waiting for the coin to be,

Gift to Bucksport Seminary.

The East Maine Conference Semi
nary at Bucksport is to have an
athletic field that will compare
favorably with any in the State. rms
has been made possible through the
generosity of a former student
Arthur Chaplin of Bangor.

istration building, and will be known
as the Chaplin Athletic Field. 1t Will
be built on the large tract known as
the old Spofford farm, and be-
uueathed to the school by the late
Hon. Parker SpoffOrd The clearing
of the land has already commenced.
The new field will have a baseball
diamond and football field, with a
uuarter-mile cinder track on the out
side.
The school has been hampered for
many years by an unsuitable attn
letic field, and the gift of Mr.. Chaplin
is greatly appreciated, The cost OF
the field has not been made public,
but is said to be approximately
$4,000.

ELLSWORTH FAIR
HANCOCK COUNTY FAIR ASSOCIATION
PLANNING BIG EXHIBITION
Dates Sept. l, 2 and 3-Association Striving to
Build up Great Agricultural and Edu-
catonal Exhibition---Scme of the
Entertainment Features

The coming Hancock County Fair
at Ellsworth, September /, 2 and 3,
will be the biggest event of the
season, according to statements of
fair association officers.
Two new features, home
economics department and flower
show, have been added to the pro-
gram Marvellous displays of fire
works, quintette of young and
beautiful ladies, comical acrabatic
stunts and roller-skating by world
famous artists, will be a few of the
special attractions. Everyone re-
members last years fair and the
success that it attained, and with a
larger and better one this year, it
will surely reach the height of sue
cess that is expected.
The fair association is striving to
get away from the horse trotfa<ir
fair Casually the money-getter> and
build up a real agricultural and edu-
cational fair. The success of this
plan is largely in the hands of the
farmers of Hancock county. If they
respond as they should it cannot
fail.
The association is making special
effort to develop a flower show, and
is anxious to have the ladies ring
their flowers to the fair. If this new
department proves successful,
horticultural hall will be erected in
the near future for larger and better
displays. Premiums for the flower
show are as follows:
Professional exhibits $500
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1925-08-12

The special attractions for the first
two evenings will include the
Nichols Trumpet Quintette, consist
ing of five young and beautiful
ladies, who will be remembered by
few of the knights templars as a
part of the entertainment at the
Bangor anniversary of June 20;
George and VOLTA. of comedy aero
battle fame, and Wheeler and
Wheeler, the world-famous roller
skaters. There will also be a Won
derful display of fireworks handled
by professionals from the fireworks
factory.
The association states that the
entries for the races make it certain
that there will be even better racing
than last year. The agricultural and
Farm Bureau displays are coming in
beyond al expectations. The D)ul-
try owners of the county are very
enthusiastic over the poultry show,
and experts in this line state that the
fair should have the best show in the
State The livestock department..
though not fully developed, as yet,
will, however, hold an important
place in the train of events. The as
sociatiop wants every owner OF stock
in the county to get behind this de-
partment and raise it to the stand
ing of the other shows.
With such an extensive program in
view, the fair will certainly present
educational value as we'll as enjoy
ment for all who attend.
The fair association would be glad
to receive the names of all who
would care to work at the park dur
ing the week of the fair.
reserved seats for the grand stand,
for the three days Of the fair, will
be on sale at Smith & Heads, Mon
