To THE FARMERS OF MANITowoc
COUNTY: GENTLEAIAN.-I wish to give
you my experience regarding how the
premiums are awarded at our County
Fair. I entered my team on Thursday,
for draught, and all work; was informed
by the Treasurer, Mr.. Newell, that I
should be on hand the next day, Friday,
to have them examined. We had talk
merits of the contestants. Mr. Newell
said there could be found old plugs that
were not worth naming, that could out
pull my team. This got my Irish up,
and told him that I was prepared to
test this assertion, any time, with old or
young plugs. This challenge brought
the Falls team in question. Mr.. Newell
stated that their team might not pull as
well in crowd. but that outside they
would output my team. 1 told him L
was willing to pull my team any time
and at any place. I next sought the
Superintendent, Mr.. Noyes, and was in
formed that nothing but fair trial
would satisfy him. The President, Mr..
VIM. Carey, told me in substance the
same. Then I felt sure we would have
some sport. Mr.. Noyes helped me to
load end told me to pull my team. I
did so, and waited an hour or more for
some others to show what they could do
None of the great professors came. Now
for the sequel: The Falls team got the
first pre- MUM for all work and the
second for draught horses. I got the
first premium for draught horses and
the second for all work. This last I will
not accept, until trial by a similar test
to the one which gave Inc the premium
for draught horses. NV team is not for
sale. I understand the Falls team is. and
one of them has a SPAWN, blemish far
worse than that of my ring boned mare;
and it they obtain the first premium for
all work it will be through the unjust
Judgment Of the judges, who may be
hkened to the one of old who neither
feared God nor regarded man. Last
year won the premium fer draught
horses, Mr.. John Tufts being one of the
contestants which [ can prove by the
Judge, Mr.. Hall, and neither got money
or credit. l hear repeat, that I am will
ing to test the merits of my team with
the Falls team any time, at any place,
and at any work.

Manitowoc Co., to know that the Moni-
tor Force Feed Seeder and Cultivator
Combined, manufactured by Van Brunt
& Davis, of Horizon, Wis, which has
given snch universal satisfaction through

of the grain-growing district of the
Northwest. It will be offered for sale in
this city by Messrs. Bibinger and Day

their own interest by calling upon those

NOW YOU HAVE IT.
That is, Magnificent Stock Of Fall
and Winter Goods to Select from.
What Mr.. 0. Torrison has been Doing
to Please his Customers.

One of the best evidences of returning
''fusil times is to be found in the stocks
of goods purchased by business men for
the fall and winter trade and IN no in
stance is the prospect of lively trade
more clearly indicated than by glance
at the interior of Mr.. Torrison's large
store. That gentleman has recently re-
turned from visit to New York, Boston
and other eastern cities, where he pur-
chased, from first hands, All assortment
of goods, which has seldom been equall-
ed in this city and never surpassed, and
which embraces all the articles usually
kept in a store where all classes of our
population deal. Noticeable among the
immense stock is an elegant assortment
of Hamburg Edgings and Embroideries,
embracing all the newest and best styles,
of all widths aad at all prices splendid
line of fashionable Plaids and Pongus
which our lady readers must see to APP
preciate; Dress Goods in every variety
of shade and texture from the very finest
down to the cheapest grades Shawls
ranging in price from $15O to $40-the
finest assortment in the city - Cassi-
meres, cloakings, underwears, and a
thousand other things of which we don't
know the names, i'll all of which q nice
stock is kept to select from. In Carpets
and OlClothes Mr. Torrison has brought
on @ stock which will please the most
fastidlious, as the patterns selected are
all of the latest styles, and range in price
from almost nothing to $500 per yard,
while in Ready-made Clothing there is
everything that is stylish and nice, and
on scale with his stock of Flannels, of
which you can take your choice from
among over one hundred pieces. He has
Hats&Caps on hand in quantities in keep
ing with his other stock and the custom
er is certainly too good for this world
who cannot find what he or she wants
after looking through this establishment
And then the prices. Mr. Torrison
wishes it to be remembered that his en-
tire stock was purchased right from first
hand and that his customers will not be
compelled to pay the profits of two or
three dealers through whose hands the
goods have passed. In fact, at such
low prices were his wares procured that
he calls the special attention of country
merchants to the fact that he can sup
ply their wants at Milwaukee prices and
would be glad to do so-something
which they should remember. 1t would
take columns to give detailed notice of
the stock, especially as it embraces
many articles of merchandise which has
never been kept here previously and our
advice to city and country buyers, who
want to see an assortment at prices
which would make a granger laugh, is
to call On Mr.. Torrison, or one of his
numerous affable clerks, and see what
collection of nice things good taste and
thorough canvass of eastern markets
has prepared for their consideration by
one of our oldest and most reliable mer-
chants. 2w

We publish to day a lengthy and ex-

to learn that on Tuesday, about noon,
while leaving MIR. Velchert's store on
South Eighth Street, he slipped, and in
endeavoring to save himself from fall,
broke both bones of the right leg about
midway between the knee and ankle
He was of course Immediately taken
home and the broken bones set. The
unfortunate occurrence will confine him
to his room for at least two months, and
what makes it worse, is the fact that this
is the busy season with him and he will
suffer considerably, financially as well
as mentally.

PINCHBACk'S MEETING.
SOMETHING MORE ABOUT IT.

The result of the meeting on Monday at
the colored Baptist Free Mission Church on
Common street was not at all satisfactory to
Pinchback snd his men, and after the meet
ing Pinchback's men INDUCED in remarks
not at all complimentary about the other col
ored faithful present who were responsible
for the result
One of them, Jas. Cooper, the negro who
some time ago got sound whipping for in
truding in certain confectionery on st.
Charles street, after INDUCING in some gen.
eral remarks, tackled one w. H. Green,
pretty smart negro, who has sense enough to
know that Pinch back is, politically, dead, and
confined his remarks to him, and made them
decidedly personal. Green resented these
remarks n a decidedly forcible manner, and
the consequence was, that Cooper went
around yesterday with IAN ornamented
head"
Pinchback, after the meeting, went out to
the lake with Geo. Paris, and drowned his
sorrow in the old time way.

THE LOUISIANA JOCKEY CLUB
The Coming Meeting.

A level landscape aglow with the golden
dust of a setting sun, the far off margin of the
woods generously tinted with sepia veil, the
mellow shadows of bearded oaks drowsy
in their dreamy siesta, all call the denizen OF
brick and mortar away to the fields as this
genial weather SO gratefully pours out its
Italian benefcence
The rustling of the cane in emerald fields.
the lowing of distant cattle aweary with the
days enjoyment in the clover, bring up those
bright pictures of the halcyon days of turf
sport here, and those who of years agone were
wont to look forward to the Fall Meeting on
our track with every return of harvest season,
are now again pricklng their ears as the faint
up" drifts in after the announcement just
made by the Louisiana Jockey Club of their
coming meeting.
Saturday, December 4th, is the day fixed
for the opening of the sport, and from the
signs present which always presage grand
meeting, we feel assured the race track will be
alive with our people when that date arrives.
Catching the infection so thoroughly per-
meating the atmosphere, the ladies have sue
cumbed to the attack, and modistes and mil
liners are taxed considerably by the fair ones
to bring out their latent ingenuity
in the shape of startling novelties and
tasty costumes Sparkling faces flushed
with the e1hilarating excitement of
the contests, will add their charms to the
picturesque scene, and dainty blonde and
affectionate brunette will give to the ami.
mated picture zest incompatible.
To the Southern eye there is no place where
there is usually gathered so much of refine
mens and womanly grace as at one of our
race meetings Unlike such events in North
ern capitals, here it is that the very elite pay
their devoirs to the sturdy equine competi-
tors and enjoy the rare and harmless sport.
The stables SO far are numerous, and, when
the opening day arrives the horses will num-
Der fully seventy. This will, without doubt
make the several events desperate battles,
and accordingly enhance the enjoyment of the
guests present.
Besides the silky thoroughbreds and their
struggles for victory, connoisseur in the es-
thetic will not fail to enjoy the soft delights
Of the exquisite study, equal to some of Tur-
ner's made by the club house, empowered as
it is in a wealth of foliage. The whole is
worthy an artists pencil. Regarding the
means of access, those who last year found
diff cultv in pattino ont IN the TRACK will ra
member now that there are two lines of cars
passengers thither, and, besides,
club parties can charter, as was so fashiona-
bic before, omnibuses for party.
Rare sport, brilliant equipages, and an
American "Derby will greet the pilgrim on
Dec. 4, who journeys towards the
Louisiana Jockey Club Grounds.

No Danger of the Third Term.
cincinnati Commercially

We have not the slightest apprehension that
Grant will be elected President for third
term. We are sure that should he be run for
the Presidency as the Republican candidate,
the Democrats could not nominate a man
who would not beat him. We have not the
slightest doubt, however, that Grant wants
the third term, and expects it. He has had
such wonderful run of fortune that he be-
ieves in his "star." He is surrounded by
coarse and obtrusive fatterers, who assure
him that he alone has saved the country and
Republican party, and that he alone can con-
tinue to save. He has been told of the sacri-
fees he made to accept the Presidency, and
that he is called upon to make them again
1t is high time the people knocked this con
ceit out of HIM.
