BLOOMINGTON FIELD DAY.
FINE WEATHER AND A GOOD CROWD
PRESENT.

Lancaster First Nine Down Prairie au
CHEN Badgers bloomington Whisker-
ed Boy Hypnotizes watton's Studio Boys
Bloomington first field day, heid
Friday. August 9Th, was success aS
an entering wedge to future fleio Gays.
Farmers were busy in their fields and
did not come to town to any great
extent; bu: people came in large mum
bers from neighboring towns-especl-
alIv from Lancaster-and Ia the ag-
qreqate a considerable crowd was as
sembled together that was ever on the
look out for incidents Of interest. The
affair took place in the old fair
grounds northeast of town
About the first thing on the program
at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon. was
game of base ball between the Walton
Studio nine of Lancaster and the Lud-
den nine Of Bloomington. On two
former occasions these clubs had met
in honorable but earnest combat ana
both victories had fallen to the dapper
boys from the county seat On TINS
occasion the Studio nine came to the
scratch with their boys all under 10
years of age and expected to meet the
boys with whom they had PLAYED be-
fore or at least with boys their equal
in youth and inexperience; but they
found to their surprise that they were
to play pickup nine from 10 to II
years of age and to bat balls from a
pitcher who was full grown man
if whiskers count for anything. The
game was good one up to the sixth
or seventh inning, when the Studio
boys began to fail and the pickups
heavy pitcher began to pound the ball
all over the grounds. His whiskers,
together with the umpire and few
hundred coachers. won the game.
The studio nine is a good one but
they do not pretend to cope with ex-
perienced men.
AT 1:30 another game of ball was
called betweenl.ancaster first nine and
the Badgers of Prairie du Chen. The
latter club was playing in hard luck
1 and the Lancaster nine won by score
of "a to I.
At about four o'clock in the after
noon took place the foot races and
prize contests which were highly in
teresting. Bloomington people won
every first prize.
Perhaps one of the most pleasing
features of the days entertainment
was the business mems parade, which
took place after supper. in which
ladies carried banners inscribed with
the business interests of the village.
The music was fine and was furnish
by the Bloomington and Brodtyille
cornet bands and the Kazoo band OF
Beetown.

THE TICKET.


THE TICKET.
Most Exciting Convention in the History
OF the state-"Honest Bob" has Enthusi-
astic supporters Harmony Prevails.
Last week witnessed the hottest
weather of the year and the warmest
political contest ever known in the
state Of Wisconsin. The leading
aspirants for governor were Major
Edward Scofield of Oconto and Robert
M. LaFollette of Madison. 1t was the
northeast against the southwest. La
Follette's chief lieutenants wese II. g.
Adams, Sam Harper and Ex-Gov. w.
ID. Hoard. In the third district c. j.
Smith of Viroqua, +. l. Kidd OF Prairie
du Chen and John p. Wilson of Bos-
cobel were prominent in 3ob's behalf.
Major Seofeld had, almost solidlv.
the support of the lumber interests Of
the state.
OF the other candidates Lieut.. Gov.
baenseh had the largest following.
His strength was among the Germans
Of the lake shore counties. His forces
staid BY him till the close.
1t was seen early in the convention
that neither Elliott, Bradford, nor Es-
tabrook had much chance Of success.
Their forces left them and went to
Scoiield. On first ballot LaFollotte
had the most votes OF any Of the aspir-
ants. but Scoiield was most popular
as second choice.
The ballots were as follows: First
Major Scoteld. 249l LaFollette. 2611;
Baensch. 50; Elliott, 49, Bradford, 81;
Estabrook. 6
Second ballot-Seofield, 26s9; La
Toilette, 25s; Baensch, s6l Elliott, 81;
Bradford, 80; Estabrook, 81.
Third ballot-Scofield 2935; La
Toilette, ESQ; Baensch, 9ol; Elliott,
21; Bradford, %; Estabrook, 3.
Fourth ballot-Scofiell S151; La
foliettd, 25o; Baensch, 94l; Elliott, 8;
Bradford, 8; Estabrook, 3.
Fifth ballots cofield, 3233: LaFol-
lette, 23s; Baensch. 1885,; Elliott. 5;
Bradford, ?; Estabrook, 8.
The fifth ballot greatly encouraged
the Scofield men. Their leader was
within IL votes of a nomination and
they were anxious to proceed with the
sixth ballot although it was long past
the dinner hour and everybody YVES
tired and hungry. The opposition
fought for adjournment but were un-
successful and the sixth ballot was
begun. The wavering delegates saw
that the Scotield wagon was the loaded
one and not few were anxious to get
aboard The first district gave more
than the needed II. When the third
district was reached it's chairman
asked for more time as the delegation
was about to change its vote and had
NOT come to an agreement The fourth
district added largely to Scofield's
lead. At this juneture II. G. Adams
for the Lafollette contingent moved
the unanimous nomination Of Major
Scofeld. The motion was numerous
ly seconded and with great cheer the
motion was carried without dissent
ing voice.
motion was then made and carried
with enthusiasm to renominate all the
state officers below governor.
When the great battle was over
everybody accepted the situation
cheerfally and the best feeling seemed
to prevail.
