MINERAL POINTS FIELD DAY.

MI " EhAlI IuINl ~ ElID Ia i.
Tho kindly feeling shown 10y thu
press and the people of our neiRhbor
ing towns in relation to Mineral Points
Field Day, on July 9th, 1897, makes il
imperative upon our citizens to put
forth their best efforts to make the oc-
cassion pleasant for all who may at
tend. From present Indications no
cities or villages In this section will
celebrate on that day, and undoubtedly
upon our field day tho attendance will
be very large. The securing Of the
eloquent orator, Hon. Robt. M. laFol
lette not only insures the success of
that part of the program, but If The
Democrat mistakes not, will prove Il
drawing card. The Committee on
Sports Is not idle, but is arranging II
program embracing base ball, running
races, trotting races, mule races, bicycle
races, foot races, tug. of.w war, etc.
Ii will be Mineral Points first ef.
fort at providing program Of enter
tainment so extensive and varied in its
scope, and every resident of tho city
should contribute towards making the
affair u grand success.
The object for which the field day is
to be held Is u most worthy one, name
~, the furtherance Of financial inter
ests Of tho Southwest Wisconsin Fair.
The many improvements made last year
In the way of new buildings and
grading track called for large outla,
Of money More than enough money
was realized from last years fair to pay
the ordinary expenses Of the fair ; but
only small portion Of the receipts
were left to pay for improvements, in
Ierest, etc The sale of the remaining

It Is to be hoped that the undertaking

High School Athletic Association.

High Scn00l Athletic Association.
The entertainment given Saturday
night, at the city hall, by the Athletic
Association Of the High School, show
ed that athletics and study not only
go together, but that they form
splendid team in bringing out what is
best in mind and body. The chorus
Of the High School showed that there
is plenty OF musical talent among its
pupils, and that there are possibilities,
under good training, of making a
splendid glee club worthy Of the name
and of the school. This is the opinion
Of one who is authority In such mat
tiers.
The opening address, by Crawford
Ross, In which he explained matters
and the aim of the association, was
well received, as it deserved. A good
word might well be said Of the recita-
lions and the piano, violin and vocal
solos, for they all had their merits, but
the printer and the reader might call
us down. "The Arbitration Treaty."
by Willie Snow, and the vocal trio, by
Hoare Brothers, also deserve special
mention.
The Farce came off as advertised,
and IL touched, in its humor, the ten.
der spot in the American heart. Wars
prove that the Americans can fight,
If needs be; our treaties show that we
can arbitrate our differences with for,
eign powers, where national honor Is
not involved; the popularity of such
writers as Mark Twain, and such pub
locations as Puck, Judge, etc, show
that we can enjoy the latest joke: so
this Farce, by the Athletic Association,
had Its place. The program, however,
showed that the pupils had true idea
in regard to the funny side Of life, and
did not oyerdo it, and turn your heart
against 1t by an overdose. They got
the right proportions. Following was
