THE FAIR,

The 1893 fair of the S. W. Wis. [.
A., held in Mineral Point last week,
Notwithstanding many adverse cir
cumstances, was largely attended, and
was in every way creditable exhib-
ition. When the fact is taken into
consideration that Wednesday was
Wisconsin day at the Worlds fair, and
attracted people there from nearly
every town in this section of The state,
the attendance at our fair was larger
than could be expected, and the fnan-
cial result-a balance Of from $40O to
$500 after paying all expenses s-ap-
pears wonderful indeed. There were
400 entries for premiums. The ex-
hibits in all departments were fine.
The list of premiums awarded, which
are printed elsewhere in this paper,
shows that nearly every division and
class was represented.
The stock exhibit was such as to
prove that southwest Wisconsin horses,
cattle, sheep and swine, are nowhere
excelIed.
The poultry exhibit was also good.
The exhibit of wagons, carriages,
buggies, and farm implements was
large, the show Of carriages and bug
gies being especially fine.
There was large and fine exhibit
of well ripened grain and vegetables.
The display of fruits and plants was
also good.
The display in the houshold and do
nestle department, perhaps excelled
that Of any previous year. Very
many new articles were shown and al
together the exhibit was most excel
lent one.
The exhibit in the department of
cookery was up to the usual high
standard
That this section excels in the man
uracture of cheese and butter was clear
ly shown in the exhibit in the dairy de-
partment.
While the display in the fine art de-
partment was perhaps not as large as
usual many fine paintings, drawings,
etc, were exhibited.
The music furnished by the Mineral
Point band during the fair contributed
in no small measure to the entertain
ment and pleasure of the vast number
of people in attendance.
1t is the opinion of horsemen as
well as all others who attended
that the races were the finest ever
witnessed in this part of the country.
The running races were governed
by the American Racing Rules, and
all trotting was in accordance with the
rules of the American Trotting Asso-
citation, Of which the S. w. Wis. /. A,
became a member this year. They
were real speed contests, and conducted
in such manner as to give the very
best of satisfaction. Following is the
result of the running and trottirg races.

THK SAFETY SWITCH.


1t Derailed Train and Saved it
From the River.
MYSTIC, June pa freight train con-
sisting of ten cars was derailed, early this
morning, at the drawbridge over Mystic
river, on the Providence division of the
Consolidated railroad, at Mystic. The,
draw was opened at 3 o'clock to allow a
steamer to pass through. The bridge ten
der, when opening the draw, threw a sig
nal against the train and also opened the.
safety derailing switch, which is for the
purpose of derailing trains should they
pass the signal when the draw is open.
The 2:16 freight engineer failed to OBJ
serve the signal and pushed on the dera.l-
ing switch. The engine and seven cars
were thrown from the tracks into gravel
bank, three of the cars remaining on the
track. The locomotive was pretty badly
damaged, but the loss to the rolling stock
is small. No one was injured.

Great Depression Characterized the
Early Dealings in the Stock Bx.
chaugc-The General List Declined.
NEW YORK, June 29.-The carly dealings at the
stock exchange were characterized by great de-
preston, owing chiefly to the apprehension felt
regarding the money market and the difficulty
experienced by borrowers in securing accommo-
dstions. Call loans were made as high as SIG
per cent. per diem and interest, equal to about
rs per cent. Per annum, and even then no round
amounts were obtainable. Added to the money
difficulty was the renewed depression In silver.
While sterling exchange was decidedly weaker
bankers did not see their way clear to import
gold.
The bears took advantage Of all these condi-
lions and hammered the list vigorously. The
principal declines were AZ in Denver and Rio
Grande preferred, In Omaha preferred, so in
Manhattan, 4 in Great Northern preferred and
In Long Island. The general list declined about
" to per cent.
When 1t became known that the banks had
decided to adopt heroic measures In order to re-
lieve the stringency In the money market, conf.
dence reasserted itself at the stock exchange,
especially as the rates for call loans dropped TO
SOLO per cent. and remained SO during most Of
the afternoon. Under liberal purchases Manhat-
tan rose Ssz Sugar ~, Tobacco SO, Rock Isla
~, Denver and Rio Grande preferred 2I6, Gen.
eral Electric 49, Missouri Pacific 2, Omaha and
Western Union 1A.
In the late trading there was a reaction Of 4
to 70 per cent, but the market closed steady
Railway and miscellaneous bonds were heavy.

LETTER BOX MAIL MATTER.

The Central Letter Boxes Redesis-
nased-StiH More Frequent Collec-
ttens.
Postmaster Sperry had several of the red
letter boxes in the center of the city paint
ed red and black yesterday, and he an
nounces that on and after July 1 collections
will be made from these boxes every thirty
minutes from p. m. until 8 p. m. daily.
This will much please the public and ia
another evidence of the enterprise which
constantly charsoterizss our. postofioe.
Postmaster Spsrry receives warm common
dalton for this additional new improve.
ment. The change is made to meet the
increasing demands of business in the CEN
ter. Since collections were made hourly
in the business part of the day at the red
letter boxes in the center, the deposits of
letters in these boxes have wonderfully in
creased. Now with collections half-hourly
the overcrowding Of these central boxes
with mail matter will bs obvisted.
