A good many people of this town took in the naval battle at Milwaukee, among themScribbler. It was really a “sham” battle but all would have had a good time if theyhad not been shamefully treated by the railroad company. “The public be damned,”said an Eastern railroad magnate and it seems the smaller powers think likewise. The special train on the M. & N. R. R. which was announced to leave at 11 P.M.did not get ready to start till 1:15 A.M. The depot was closed for the passengersand they had to wait in the full packed street. The crowds numbered thousands andit was really a torture. The heat, the crowding of the people, and the foul odorsarising from defective sewerage. Two ladies fainted in our view. Could not theR. R. employes have given notice to the crowd that trains would not be ready till1 A.M.? Then one could have sought for a more comfortable place to wait.

THE COUNTY FAIR

To whom it may concern:

The time fixed for holding the Ozaukee County Fair will soon be at hand and thosewho wish to enter animals or articles for exhibition thereat are reminded that itwill be to their interest as well as our own, to have as many of their entries madeprevious to the dates of the fair as possible.

The indications are that, providing we are favored with good weather, the comingfair will be the largest and best ever held in this county, and we are afraid thattoo many of our patrons will delay making their entries until the time is up formaking them.

In the past, too many have been in the habit of waiting until the last morning ofthe fair to make their entries. Even some of the officers of the society have beenamong the tardy ones.

That is not right. Officer of the Society and members of its executive committeeshould set a better example than that; and they may rest assured that if they comein at the eleventh hour this year, they will have to take a back seat until all theothers are waited upon.

Entry blanks have been freely distributed, and more can be had of the undersignedat any time, which can be easily filled with lists of entries and mailed to me previousto the fair. Upon receipt of such lists I will immediately record them and willhave the "entry tags" ready to tie on each animal and article named therein,as soon as they arrive on the fair grounds thus avoiding much hurry, confusion, delay,vexation, and many mistakes.

Remember the time for making entries Positively Closes At 10 O'Clock A.M., Oct. 2nd. The award committees must enter upon their duties at 10:30 A.M. on that day, andas their time is short enough in which to carefully examine all exhibits and makefair awards, it must not be encroached upon.

Exhibitors should remember that no article or animal placed on exhibition can beremoved from the grounds until 5 o'clock P.M. of the last day, without permissionfrom the superintendent of the department in which it is exhibited. By so doing,they forfeit their right to a premium.

All who wish to exhibit articles in department "G" (Manufacturer) are especiallyrequested to send in their lists as soon (unreadable words) ... quarters will haveto be prepared for that department, and we would like to know about how many exhibitswe will have to provide room for.

Each entry to compete for the prizes offered to the pupils of the schools of thecounty for the best maps and drawings must be accompanied by a certificate from theexhibitor's teacher, certifying that the map or drawing is the work of the exhibitor.-- Respectfully, D. E. McGINLEY
