Office
IT is the universal opinion that
Mr. Geo. Whitman who acted as
starter of races at the fair this week
did better than any man vino hqs up
to this time served in that difficulty
position at a fair in Mineral Point.
Every body is commenting on his
Il excellent starting.
n THURSDAY night the establish
\ meut of j. Dresen 81 Co., merchant
tailors, was burglarized and a half
q dozen full suits of clothes and about
" six pair of pants taken. Enterance
was gained through a back window.
No arrests have as yet been made,

take the guilty parties.
JUDGING from the large delegation
M from Dodgeville and Darlington in
# attendance at our fair, we should
s conclude that there we're scarcely
u enough left at home to insure pro-
lection to their property. There is
every evidence that they had a huge
time. There coming is duly appre-
81 ciated
81 AT Madison there is much con
E cern over the fact that a number of
n fish have been found dead with all
n the symptoms of the epidemic Of
six years ago. Fears are entertained
II of repetition this fall The cause
4 of the epidemic is from a worm
that bores into the head of the
L fish.
81 IN order to be able to give some
L accurate fair news the TRIBUNE is
Il published a few hours late this week.
10 get out a paper dated Saturday
& ahead Of time aud thus be unable to
81 give such news would not, in our
| opinion, be the proper way nor
u prove satisfactory to a majority of
n ITS readers.
y Pickpockets were in full force on
\ the fair grounds, and their victims
were several, principally women.
lae sums Tossed by this dastardly
n Performance ranged from one to
twenty-five dollars. One of the
thieves was taken in charge by the
4 police bat sufficient evidence for
conviction was lacking.
4 WISCONSIN, S State Board Of
Worlds Fair Commissioners have
aone well in making an appropria-
/ u9n ot $4,000 out of the funds at
'-er disposal for the purpose Of
h providing for dairy exhibit. Wis

1 srau, dairy states in the Union,

II IHE county fair held at Dodge
n Vile last week was fully up to the
'a3ge, Notwithstanding the great
-ta4Tantage occasioned by the
4 -sa'y rain on the first day. The
ogA exhibit was good, likewise the
--e aH, household and merchants
sP.ay, but, because Of the earliness
" ,ae season, the showing from
garden aud field did not
--.sra.lze to the full. The number
9f,es on hand to compete for
racing purses being large, in
probability the sport was the
aterlalning ever witnessed on
tract.
