The Milk Ordinance.

The writer is informed that some
time ago an ordinance providing for the
punishment of the vendors of impure
or adulterated milk. was introduced in
the common council, referred to the
committee on health-and that was
the last that has been heard of the
Ordir ance. That there should be an
ordir ance regulating the sale of milk
aud cream in the city needs no argu-
ment in support of such an ordinance
for it is reported that some of the ven
dors are giving their customers a lac
teal fluid destitute of all the qualities
of good milk Those who are honest
will not fear such an ordinance and
will be glad of its adoption.

Driven to Death.

1t is reported to the writer that a
horse fell dead Thursday afternoon
from hard driving at the intersection
Of Third and Wisconsin, SITS. IF it is
true, then all the writer has to say is,
that the man responsible for the death
of the poor animal deserves to be
kicked to death by horse and buried
in a muck heap. Such a man has a
bad heart end is a dangerous member

GOOD RACES, BALL PLAYING
AND GOOD ATTRACTIONS
AND ATTENDANCE
LARGE.
There is now no question but
that it may be permanent and
be greatly improved. The Inan-
agement entitled to COngratula-
tions for the success of Initial
efforts.

The Inter-County Fair was a grand
success in many respects and proved
beyond question Of doubt that it
will be permanent and greatly improv-
ed in the line of exhibits, as the farm
ers in the surrounding country will
take an interest in it and give it their
support in all possible ways.
The attendance was very large,
exceeding the most sanguine expecta-
tiOns of the management, especially
on Wednesday and Thursday, the num-
Der on the two days being estimated
respectively, 5000 and 10000 people.
Financially, the management have nc
reason to complain, for the receipts
were sufficient to pay all premium
purses and expenses, and leave small
balance to be used in making necessary
improvements on the groundr.
The exhibits Of stock, fruits, vegeta-
bles. machinery etc, while not large,
was very good indeed, and next year
by proper advertising can be and pro
badly will be largely augmented. The
other exhibits were varied and attrac-
tive and the number on exhibition
discovered to the management. the
fact. that larger quarters will be an
absolute necessity next year. as they
were crowded this year to their utmost
capacity-to crowded for a good dis
play of articles on exhibition.
The races Wee veg good and
much interest manifested by those
who enjoy that sport and better time
made than was expected. which showed
that there were speedy horses in JEFF
ferson county in which their owners
take a justifabe pride. The ball
games played during the four days of
the fair were of IN trked interest to
those who enjoy the games and the
band music was "a marked feature that
left an excellent impression. The
attractions Of amusement character ON
the grounds during the day and on the
streets during the evening were very
good and free from all offensive feat
ures, so common at fairs and street
carnivals, and afforded pleasure for
both old and young.
The management is entitled to con-
gratulations ior the success Of the
initial fair and the people of this city
next year should give the fair associa-
tion cordial and substantial support.
