In it were no suits of gray. but the gray

age all pointed to the gradual passing
away of what is fast becoming a rem.

Yesterday was the biggest "Wednesday
perhaps, in all the history of the State
Fair.
All day from ten in the morning until
dark the grounds were literally thronged,
and from one until four O'Clock, while
the veterans were on the ground, it was
simply jam. The review of the old
soldiers in the race track enclosure de
scribed in another column of this paper
was an inspiring and memorable sight.
The thousands that watched it will never
forget it to their last day

end to the other and from top to bottom.

EIgin Press Gives Graphic Description of
Last Sundays Game at EIgin.

Elgin Press Gives Graphic Description of
Last Sundays Game at EIgin.
Elgin showed up the Kenosha ball
team In a laughable contest yester.
day, and Incidentally also exposed
tEeir own weakness. Elgin won the
game by score of Is to z, but it could
hardly be termed victory.
The returns showed that Elgin made
fifteen runs off of seven hits. Ten
errors and six bases on balls, account
for the score. AS the game progressed
1t improved, but there was so much
room for improvement that even the
last of the game was not interesting.
A young man who played on a Uni
versity team at one time, went into
the box for Elgin. 1t took less tina n
two innings TO convince everyone
that he was not pitcher. When he
was replaced by Hanson, Kenosha
had five runs marked up.
In Elgin's first inning one safe hit
was made, but the visitors had pre-
scented them with four runs before the
side was retired, The same perform
ance was repeated in the second in
ming. In fact the farce was kept up
throughout the game.
With the score is to 6, Callahan
succeeded Hanson in the pitchers
box, but the visitors could not hit any
kind Of a bali, and the few Callahan
managed to get over the base passed
untouched. Errors were so frequent
that any ordinary play looked brilliant
and drew forth pplause.-Elg gin Press.
