Between four and five hundred

ball played on the Mineral Point
grounds, ON Tuesday last, between
the Fleceels, of Dodgcvillc, and the
the Orphans, of this city. The
fathcrlesS and motherleSs ones won
\ brilliant victory over their oppo-
nents. The game closed 1t the end
of the ninth inning for the Fleecers,
when the score stood twenty TO
thirteen against them, with one
inning due the Orphans,
The choice resulted III favor Of
the home club, who sent the others
to bat 1T Il 4. NJ, For six innings
the visiting club scored but one
run, and Sims scored that in the
FIRST inning,after two men were out;
while the Orphans had made twelve
earned runs, The Orphans now
feeling perfectly safe, Dorsey, the
curve thrower, thought he would
try the Fleceers with some straight
throwing, and the result was that
the Flceeers made six runs in the
seventh inning. When the Orphans
took up the willow i'll the seventh
inning they were determined 70
increase their score by the same
number. But Libby and Il. Osborne
sent two long flies to left field,

stumbled and fell to the ground;
and these two flies, together with
another one knocked by j. Osborne
to second base, sent them to the
field with four more runs tp their

FlcoocrS made five runs-threo of
which were the result of poor field
and Wild throwing n the part of
members of the home nmC. Yho
Orphans went to bat on the eighth
innings and scored four runs, three
of which were earned. With even
innings for both sides, the Fleecers
went into camp for the last time,

such good judgment chat not Il base
hit was made, and only one tally
was scored, that by =. Arthur, who

To the Teachers Of Iowa County.

The Summer Institute for Iowa
County viii he held at Dodgeville,
commencing Monday, August 18th,
and continuing two weeks,
The institute held at Mineral
Point last Summer was the largest
and one of the most satisfactory
inttutcs held III the State during
that year That fact was owing to
the hemtincSs with which the
the teachers of the county took
hold of the work, and to the skill
of Prof McGrcgor under whose
direction that work was carried ON,
We are fortunate in having secured
| the services OF Prof MoGngor
npnin tar the onsnine iustltutc, and
as it is the only institute which
that eminent Institute worker will
conduct during this Summer, the
teachers OF the county win doubt
less show their appreciation of tho
favor thus bestowed upon them BY
the Board of Normal Regents, by
an attendance oven larger than We
had last year.
Wisconsin has become Justly
renowned throughout the United
States for the thorough system TO.
which Normal Institute work has
been reduced, Some OF our expo
ricnced institute worker, aro con-
stantly III receipt of calls from
Iandjoining, and even distant States,

entire curriculum of the Normal

Tho short space Of two weeks. 10
hus proved in the past mn incalcu-
able assistance 10 our common school
teachers. School Superintnndents
throughout the State bear uniform
> testimony 20 the vast improvement
in the conduct of our schools, since
tho interest Of teachers has been so
largely enlisted IN institute work.
Teachers whe have never had Nor
nal school training find tho insti-
tuto of immense benefit to them,
by relieving them to great meas
ire from the disadvantage they
would be under while competing
with teachers trained within these
schools. Those 50 fortunate as TO
have received some Normal train
ing will yet find two weeks at tho
institute of great benefit TO them,
in the way of reviewing facts and
methods already somewhat familiar
10 them. as wei ns in making new
acquisition the stock Of their knowl-
edge and experience. We are con-
lident that no one can be present ut
n well conducted institute, even for
for day, and attend carefully to
its exercises, without learning some
thing new which will prove Of yaluo
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
for their own benefit as for tho
schools Of the county. The people
Of Dodgeyillo viii fparo no effort to
afford such entertainment and
accommodation for teachers as will
confirm their already well mcrited
reputation for hospitality.
