of GAINESVILLE, had over 100 varieties.
The number of exhibitors of grapes We're

grapes on exhibition. a. q. futile is

nounced by experts to have been the best
ever held ut any state fair in Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee derby was n new feature
which attracted great attention. The
Carlton club horse was the winner.
