stock, which includes many breeds of
beef, dairy and general utility cat
tie. The town teams made a fine
showing, and the great display and
variety of young stock was specially
noticeable. Some of the stock COM
ing in from a great distance, was
driven in Sunday, and the village
streets were lined with cattle at fire.
quent intervals during Monday.
In the sheep, swine and poultry
departments there are a large num-
Der of entries, many fine animals
and birds, and though some of the
departments are not yet filled, the
display in all lines Is fully up to the
standard, and in some departments
larger than in any recent year. In
the agricultural products depart
ment the display is specially good,
both of vegetables and fruits, and
the several grange displays are at
tracing a lot of attention.
The automobile display under.
canvas is particularly large and
good, all the local dealers being
there with a full line of the new
1926 models, all very handsome and
attractive. In the ladies' manufac-
lures department, which is now fill
ing rapidly, there is a great variety
of fancy and plain sewing, embroid-
cry, and everything of that sort that
goes to make up fine exhibit of
high grade work along these lines.
There is also shown a good display
| of cut flowers, hand-painted china,
| drawings and paintings. There
should not be overlooked the depart
ment set aside for the boys and
girls clubs of the Franklin county
farm bureau, which is larger and
better than in any former year, and
said to be one of the best in the
State. This is under the. direction
of the club leaders and the county
agent, Mr.. Lord, and the county
home demonstration agent, Miss
Quincy.
John R. Braden. one of the most
widely known of Maine horses, is
here with many other fine horses,
and the list of entries for the races
is long and includes many of the
best horses in the State. There are
three races scheduled for each day,
and fine races are assured
The midway is large and divided
into several sections, and includes
about everything usually seen in at
fractions of this sort at the larger
fairs. Airships are among the at
fractions. with opportunities for
ride in the air at attractive prices,
and the numerous church booths
and the dining rooms are heavily
laden with good things to eat. With
perfect weather at the start there
is every prospect of a record attea-
dance, and the arrivals early the first
day fully bore out these expectations.
1t Is likely to be in every way a
record-breaking fair for Franklin
county.
During the fair half dozen spec
ial officers are on duty, including
traffic officers in the main village
square at Main street and Broadway,
at Broadway and High street, and 1t
High, South. and Lincoln streets,
under the supervision of Chief of
Police Starbird. There is also an
extra special officer on duty at night,
and every precaution is being taken
to avoid accidents Of any kind at
these times when the streets are full
of cars and crowds of foot passen-
gers are about. Warning flags have
been put up at the. approaches at the
corner of Main street and the West
Pennington road, where there have
been many accidents in the past,
and at the junction of Main street
and Greenwood avenue, where there
is dangerous turn.
