but among the best performances on a
half mile track in the state. And the
HAS, for half mile BY two-yesr-old,
is another breaker, pace or trot. MISS
Bismark, colt owned at Monroe, was
the performer, and yet did not capture
first money, Baby LaFollette, twenty
months old colt, winning the first and
third heats in 1:l7ia and lis, which
also broke the previous best record.
As special attractions the Laurent
Trio and Diavolo, the high diver, were
good, and yet they failed to satisfy as
well as some of those of former fairs.
The trouble is. the public is in antlcipa-
tioa of too much. The sooner fair man
ayers get together and decide on cut
ting out these expensive features the
better. The money thus saved could be
well applied in improvements. repairs,
etc. Rational people will not stay away
from fairs because there's no pole turn
ing or daredevil feat.
All in all, there'll be no better fair in
the state this year than the First and
Best, E" held at Mineral Point last weeks
unless it is the state fair, and we as
citizens of the state help to make and
maintain that.

Attractive Display of Newest Styles
 for Fall.

,Mendel & Freedman's unusually at tractive opening days brought out an admiring throng of women whose ex- pressions of admiration were heard on all sides. There was brilliant show ing of things that delight the eyes and hearts of women, while every de- partment is full of inviting novelties and necessities. The suit room and millinery parlors were the. busiest and. here were found the extremely attrac- tive styles for fall In the suit room the showing surpasses all former ef- forts, the principal feature of this department being of course the tail- ored costumes, which seem to be the correct thing this season. Some very handsome ones are displayed in the show room proper of the suit depart ment, and in the window are some eX- ceptionally splendid creations A suit of plum broadcloth, velvet trimmed, has a coat of the ridingote cut, with plaited skirt trimmed with silk braid another is of biscuit chiffon broadcloth, braid trimmed with vel vet collar and cuffs and vest of white doe skin, Persian trimmed. IA white evening coat of very simple model is trimmed with white silk broad, put on the broadcloth in a handsome design, and one coat of pearl gray broadcloth has gray and black braid in applique, and velvet collar, the sleeves being fashioned in cape effect.
