FennimOre Entertained st and
Best Crowd in It's HisIu. Y.

Fennimore's field days Thursday
and Friday we're the biggest on
record and several thousand people
witnessed the sports, watched the
ball games, listened to the speeches
and commented on the various
drills.
Every train was equipped with
extra coaches and standing room
was at a premium. Hundreds of
teams rolled in from all directions
and the streets were packed with
people.
No accident married the pleasure
of those in attendance and the pro-
gram as advertised was carried out
to the letter.
The speeches were excellent the
sporting events closely contested,
the ball games superb and Fenni-
more treated all visitors with hos
pitality. Frequent showers in
terfered with the program Thurs
day and the ball game between
Linden and Fennimore had to be
called off at the end of the fifth
inning with a score of l to 1. Fri
days game between Highland and
Mineral Point was one of the best
ever seen in this section. The score
stood 2 to in highlands favor.
Summing the matter up it can be
said that Fennimore's field days this
year eclipsed all former efforts.

RATES FOR THE FAIR
The Railroads are Making very Lib
eral Concessions.

The railroads are trying to do their
part in helping along the territorial
fair and to that end have agreed to
liberal special rates both for freight
and passengers.
For general exhibits an arrangement
is made whereby full freight rates will
be charged from the point of shipment
to the fair, but unless the exhibits
change ownership they will be re-
turned free. On fruits full rates to
the fair will be charged. But in the
event the fruit is worthless at the close
Of the fair, as most of it probably will
be, there will be n refunding by some
OF the roads of all the freight paid,
while the others agree to refund one
half the amount paid. On mineral ex-
hibits full rates TO the fair will be
charged, but the return trip will be
without charge. A concession from
the one-way rate will be made on such
exhibits as remain for permanent ex-
hibition, though just what it will be
has not yet been announced.
Passenger rates on all the main
line roads will be two cents per mile
each way and on some of the branch
roads one fare for the round trip has
been made.
