Plans Forming to Hold a Magnificent
Street Fair Next Fall.

Saturday afternoon delegation of
citizens including Mayor Mulberger,
Jesse Stone, Carl Nam, Emil Seibel.
IL. 6. CRUDE, E. L. Schempf, Louis
Kusel and j. W. Moore went to Col
umbus to view the sights of the street
fair being held there. The Columbus
carnival was not one of the greatest
pretensions, but it was very success
fully conducted and we'll served the
purposes for which it was gotten up
to attract visitors and to pleasantly
entertain them. 1t was reported that
it did not result in any great impetus
to trade during the days it was given,
but it afforded the neighboring farm
ers an opportunity to exhibit their
products in competition for valuable
premiums and to enicv themselves at
the same time. The Columbus people
seemed well pleased With their effort.
and the visit Of the Watertown dele
cation was beneficial in the acquire
ment of much needed information.
A well-defned project is on foot to
hold a street fair and carnival of mag
niticent proportions in this city next
September. The matter is being dis
cussed thoroughly and it is probable
that steps will be taken shortly to in
augurate such an event. It is pro-
posed to have it extend over a period
of several days and pattern it after the
best affairs of the sort held this fall,
notably the Galesburg, H., carnival
in session this week. At the sugoes-
ton Of several citizens, George P.
Clifford, Of Oconomowoc, who has pro-
NOTED several events of like nature.
has been consulted and has offered to
take charge Of the matter. He has
agreed to secure all the subscriptions
cessary-Which he thinks should
not aggregate less than $5, 900, in or
der to render the undertaking the
success hoped for-and, of course, ex-
poets to receive a stated salary for his
work. We understand his terms are
very moderate. 1t is the idea of some
citizens who have interested them
selves in the matter that the entire
management should be given over to
Mr.. Clifford, while on the other hand
there are not a few who believe the
undertaking should be entirely in the
hands of home promoters. Be that as
1t may, the carnival is no doubt as
sured, and we believe the holding of
it would result in material benefit to
our business interests.

Tile County Fair.

Unfavorable weather considerably
discounted the success of the annual
fair of the Jefferson County and Rock
River Agricultural society last week.
Wednesday it was rather too cold and
Thursday afternoon the rain began to
fall lightly, continuing through Fri
day. At noon of the last day the Off
GERS decided to suspend the fair. For
an opening day the tendance Wednes-
day was fair, while Thursday was a
record breaker, Is, 900 people passing
through the gates.
This years exhibition was nearly up
to the excellent standard of a wear
ago. The total number of entries was
smaller but taken as whole the fair
was just as good, and in some depart
ments even better. There was a visi-
bic dropping off in ground privileges,
! owing no doubt to the war revenue
tax placed on shows and the like.
One of the best attractions was K.
z. Speedy, the famous high diver, who
performed his daring feet from a
seventy-foot tower. Kemp's Wild West
tiOns.

3. The deciding game between Jeffer-
son and Fort Atkinson was played off
Sunday at Jefferson, the Forts wiz
ming by score of Z to 3. Fort At
kinson's team was mostly composed Of
professionals, who, however, found
the delivery of Jefferson's youthful
southpaw, Eddie Heimerl, extremely
puzzling. They secured but seven
safe hits.
