The steam yacht Sybilla, owned by j.
F. Betz & Son, the Philadelphia brewers,
was in port during Friday. The yacht
is very fine one and made the trip to
the lakes via the Hudson River and Erie
Canal. Besides the Messrs Betz there
was quite party of gentlemen aboard
who have spent some weeks in visiting
the fishing and hunting resorts on the
lakes.
THE Kewaunee county fair had quite
representation from Manitowoc. Four
ladies who wished to show that women
are by no means dependent upon gentle
men in going over country roads, hired
team and set out by themselves. They
made the best time, took the most direct
route and beat the gentlemen at every
point. The use for men is growing more
and more less.
SCHUETTE Bros. adopted novel meth
Cd of advertising at the Fair. They had
printed 1000 coupon tickets which were
presented to visitors at the grounds

to draw one of the two beautiful and
costly mats which formed feature of
their exhibit at the Fair, when present
ed at their store. The idea was certain
ly good one.
II is said that fresh venison is shipped
into Milwaukee every day from the
northern woods, and this in spite of the
fact that the open season for deer does
not commence until November Ist. Ev-
identity the legislation had upon this
subject in this state is of no avail; but
it does seem as if something could or
should be done to stop this wholesale
slaughter Of deer by pot hunters.
