"CARBOLTC CURVE"

The base bali bubble that has
been floating, twiyt this city and
Dodgeville the past two weeks was
busted on Tuesday cn The grounds
Of the home nine, and in the language
of the Chronicle "3, ,I56, ,7S9" pounds
of standardization and confidence
were taken out of the proud Fleecers
while the Orphans marched blush
ingly on to victory. About five
hundred persons witnessed the game,
which was commenced at Ii m,
with the Fleecers at bat To give
the play by innings would be weary
reading. At the close of the sixth
inning the score stood | to II in ia
vor of the Pointers, but from this on
some of the DodgeyiIle boys were
more successful with the willow az
the result shows. Several brilliant
plays were made 10y both ni,es.
Penhallegon OF the Orphans, and p.
Arthur Of the l'eecers, won applause
by catching difficult nys. The pitch
ing of Dorcey was effective, yet
seemingly easy, aud both catchers
did excellent work. A singular fea-
ture was that Henry, Dorcey, Pen
hallegon and j. Osborne did all tho
putting ont on their side. From one
to two hundred dollars changed
hands among outsiders on the re.
suit. With the exception of two
disputes OF the umpire'a decisions, ,ou
which the lookers-Cr were mixed,
everything passed off pleasantly. On
the whole we ought, and It's believ-
ed the people do, feel n little proud
Of our boys over their brilliant vie
tory. The score was as follows with
another inning due the Orphans:

of its untold value. True, there's
little money in the treasury, but
wisely its used to better advantage
than idelness, in being distributed
around by means of liberal prem.
iums.
This year the strenuous efforts of
the officers is unabated, and they are
determined to have the tenth exhi.
bition equal, and superior if possi-
ble to any preceding one. Being
year of great plenty, and with the
advantage of grated pride for i'm
provements, it certainly ought and
will excel the past popular meetings.
The racing department is said by
the sporting fraternity to be better
than ever, and boundto call forth re-
markable horses, thus providing
many heated and interesting con-
tests.
Make ready aud so, If you don't
your liable to stay away alone. Tho
Others are all going.

OUR FAIR, which is now on its
tenth round, has proved benefit be-

To the Teachers of Iowa County.

The summer Institute for Iowa
county will be held at DodgeyiIle,
commencing Monday, August 18th
and continuing two weeks. The
Institute held at Mineral Point was
the largest and one of the most sat
islactory institutes held in the State
during that year, That fact was
owing to the heartiness with which
the teachers Of the county took hold
of the work, and the skill of Prof.
Mct'regor, under whose direction
the work was carried on. We arc
fortunate in having secured the SER
vices of Prof. McGregor again for tho
coming Institute and as it is the
only Institute which that eminent
Institute worker will conduct during
this summer, the teachers Of the
county will doubtless show their ap-
probation OF the favor thus bestow-
ed upon them by the Board OF Nor
mal Regents by an attendance even
larger than we had at Mineral Point
last year.
Wisconsin bas become justly re-
powned throughout the United States
for the thorough system to which
Normal Institute work has been pc-
duced. Some Of our more expert
enced Inititute workers are con-
stantly in receipt OF calls from ad-
joining, and even distant states, 70
do Institute work for them. A large
proportion Of the Institute conduct
ors Of the state are Normal teachers
or Normal graduates The Institute,
therefore, is designedIy a miniature
Normal school, extending over al
most the entire curriculum Of the
Normal schools, aud all comprised
within the short space OF two weeks.
1t has proved IN the past Of incaIcu'
liable assistance To our common
school teachers. School superin-
tendents throughout the state bear
uniform testimony to the vast i'm
provement in the conduct OF our
common schools, since the interest
of the teachers has been so largely
enlisted in Normal Institute work.
| Teachers who have never bad Nor
mai School teaching find the lnsti-
| tute Of immense benefit to them, by
relieving them to a great measure
| from the disadvantage they would
otherwise be under while competing
with teachers trained within their
schools Those so fortunate as to
have received some Normal training
will yet find two weeks at the Insti-
tute Of great benefit to them, as
well as in making new acquisition to
| the stock of their knowledge alii
experience. We are confident that
no one can be present at a we'll con
| Quoted Institute, even for day, and
attend carefully to its exercises,
without learning something new
which will prove Of value to him in
| his work as teacher.
therefore appeal to the teachers
of the county To attend the coming
Institute, one and all, as well for
their own benefit as for the good of
the schools of the county. The peo
Iple Of Dodgeyile will no doubt spare
10 effort to afford such entertain
meut aud accommodation for teach.
