BASE BALL.
Thursday afternoon an interesting
game of base ball took place on the
grounds between a local nine and club
from Marshfed. During the first four
innings it looked as if the visitors would
do up the local nine, but change of
battery on the part of the home team

From that time on the visitors were not
in it. At the close of the game the score
stood 2l to I3 In favor of the Grand
Rapids nine.
Friday was the Governors day and
the attendance was large. A democrat
ic Governor is a curiosity in the State ot
Wisconsin, and the president of the
association grasped the idea of exhibit
ing him at the Wood County fair. The
idea was good one as far as the asso,
citation was concerned but a poor one
for the democratic party. The Govern
or, Geo. w. Peck, arrived on the 1880
A. NJ train from Oshkosh, and was met
at the depot by the reception committee
consisting of President Williams, Judge
c. NJ. Webb and Mr.. L. M. Nash. The
Third Regiment Band, of Wausau, led
the procession followed by the Gardner
Rifles; Landau containing the reception
committee and guest, citizens in car,
riages and on foot making a long pro-

grounds where the Governor had the
pleasure of viewing the exhibits. He
was entertained while in the city by
Mr. L. NJ. Nash.
In the afternoon at 80 o'clock the
Governor was escorted back to the fail
grounds by the band and Gardner
Rifles from MIR. Nash's residence where
he dined in company with Messrs. Geo
L. Williams and J. A. Grynor.
At two o'clock the Governor delivered
one of his noted speeches. His re
marks were noted for the want of any
material facts which strike home anC
do his hearers any good. They Were
made up of humor which pleases fo
the present but leaves nothing of value
with the hearer. He has delivered th'
same address at all the fairs he has Wis
tied this fall. His address to the boy
was shallow and of bad tendency. III
opened his remarks by saying, "tha
he did not know whether he was en-
tered here as a vegetable or stock.
After he was through, good Democra
remarked that he thought he shoul'
