EVENTS IN KENosHA SOCIETY.
The Doings of a Few Days Dished Up for
Our Readers.


At the ball game on Saturday after
noon might have been seen all the
swells of the town and a few of those
from Racine The Misses Newell, with
a party of friends, among whom were
Mrs. Weiser, of Youngstown; Mesdames
Shaw, Drake and Wright, of Chicago,
were there on their new Charlebanks,
which Mrs. Newell brought with her
from KesWick, England. Frank Bull
drove down from Racine with a COM
pany of friends on his tally no coach,
and the musical tally no call did much
to enliven the scere Mrs. Kenard, Of
the Sanitarium, was there with her CO.
terie of admirers. All the University
set were there, barely visible under a
very avalanche of red and black. The
bicycle girls Of the town were there and
borrowed blankets and robes right and
left to cover their perishing frames, for
the cold northwest wind was there too
and got in his good work as never be-
fore. When the game began it was
quite evident that the Racine team was
much heavier than the home team and
consequently purple flags and stream
ers were very much more in evidence
than any other color, but gradually af
ter the game began the mass OF strug-
Cling human beings worked its way to-
wards the west, where the Racine goals
were, till at last, Kershaw made a fine
run and touch down was won. Then
everybody gathered around the goals
and cheer upon cheer went up and red
and black was to be seen everywhere.
Burton then had turn at the ball and
on account of the wind missed, when a
shout from the Racine faction went up
and Ra Ra! Racine! was all that could
be heard. In the middle Of the second
half one of the dear Racine boys re-
ceived a little scratch on the end of his
nose and WAS so Frustrated, either by
his vanity or agreement, (fOr it certain
ly could not have been by his wound),
that he had to retire from the field and
Lewis came out to take his place.
TEen his side we're happy once more
and the purple was again on top. But,
no! the Kenosha team will not let him
play, and derisive cries of " They're
! afraid of Lewis J" came from all sides,
and while Kershaw is trying to make
up his mind, for his friendship for Lew
is and justice to himself are pulling
him two ways, they still continue
Finally the two captains are seen to go
across the fields, arms locked about
each other, followed by shouts of
laughter and cries OF "spoon, spoon !"
and Lewis is allowed to play. His
presence is felt Immediately, for by
actual brute force that whole body Of
men is carried along The field; it did
not seem to make any difference how
many men were piled on Lewis shout
ders; he carried them along as if they
had been mere feathers weight. The
crowd got more excited and more eX-
cited every minute, for the limit of time
was rapidly approaching. Everybody
yelled at once and above the bedlam
rose only two distinct sounds, the Ra-
cineites yelling "play quick, play
quick !" and Boyd in his deep base
calling, Line up, boys, line up!" In
a minute all was over and Kenosha had
won by 4 to 0.
| Among the people Ill town are: Mrs.
Wright, the guest Of Mrs. Yule; Mrs.
Head, the guest of Mrs. Gottfr9dsen;
Mrs. Johnston, the guest of Mrs. w.
Yule; Mrs. Samson, guest at Mrs.
Swift's; Mr.. Kehlor was here for Sun
day, also Lucien Lance.
There is the prospect of a Woman's
Exchange soon to be open in one of the
principal business stores on Main
street. This is long felt want here
in this town, and if conducted in some
public place cannot fail to succeed 1t
is an excellent idea and we hope soon
to see it in working order.
Hickory nut parties still flock to the
woods on Sunday morning, and from
the quantity of nuts they bring home,
it would seem the woods must grow
nuts on every tree. MAX GREY.
