and his Pure Bred Percheon Mare
Belinda" at the Oneida County

carried off two blue ribbons, each
horse taking a first prize. The

EXHIBITION OF ROAD BUILDING.
A Model Road Constructed by the Geo
logical Survey at Time of State
Good Road Convention.

At the time Of the State Good
Roads Convention in Milwaukee
on Sept. 18th, the State Geologi-
cal Survey will have under con-
struction a model macadam road
such as would be built on a coun
try highway. They have been
granted the use Of some of the
best modern road machinery by
the manufacturers. and expert OPP
orators will be in charge. 1t is
likely that they will arrange to
have the stone crushed right on
the grounds so that the whole op-
Grafton of road building from start
to finish can be observed.
With expert road builders in
charge of the work willing to an
swer questions and explain why
each particular thing is done just
as it is. every one who attends
should leave with more definite
idea of practical road building.
1t will be of interest to those
who are going to the convention
to know that Mr.. John M. StahI,
president OF the Farmers National
Congress, has promised to be pres
ent and take part,
The active interest that the
farmers throughout the state are
taking in this Good Roads Con-
vention, speaks well for the future
of road building in our state. II
seems that all that is needed is a
chance to make asstart to get most
of them interested and arovse a
determination to make the roads
source of as much pride as the
fine farms fer which the state is
noted.

"oBSTINATE" WINS AGAIN.
Victory More ConcIusive-The Strong
Wind Makes Race More Exciting.

Charles FL. Wilber's plucky lit
tie launce, "Obstinate" again
proved its superiority in speed
over the various launches in the
the three horse power class in and
about Eagle River, The race Sat
urday was the second one this
season on the Everett Resort
course, between the narroWs and
Hemlock Resort.
In spirit of friendly rivalry
the race was gotten up to deter
mine where the mistakes were
made in the cup race of the prev
ious week. The "Shamrock'
seemed to have pro6ted by a
weeks experimenting, but met
with a Slight accident which de
layed it to a considerable extent,
allowing the "Papoose' to take
second place by the margin OF 1
minute and II seconds; but the
Virginia" was n0sed out of third
place by the "Shamrock" by a
nice margin. The Eileen" moved
up several places as did the Lone
STAR, while che Dories and the
"MoIly O." were the tralers. The
strong wind and rough waters did
not effect any of the entrees, al
the boats finished the race. The

blowing is the summary:

The Molly O, acted ridiculous
by only winning eighth place, but
| if Rod. only mad that new wheeI
on, it is (?) whether the other
boats would have been able to see
him pass!
If the Shamrock had not got its
Irish up, the Papoose would have
had to be contented with third
place, and the Obstinate would
have had to looks to her larrals,
or played second fiddle.
The Virginia was relegated to
fourth place, why?
The Lone Star was satisfied to
beat the Molly O, if it couldn't
win the race.
The Two Dories did not prove
to be good wind buckers and had
to be contented to be tail enders.
The Papoose ran most of the
race with her pet-cocks open,
which no doubt made some differ
ence with her time.
The Obstinate proved speedy
little craft even in rough and
windy weather. They say that
it had elk pounds of soap rubbed
on the OBSTINATE, no wonder she
slid through the waves SO easy!
The two handle Loving Cup
which the Obstinate won two
weeks ago, was presented to Mr..
WILDER Tuesday evening at the
Everett Resort by Mr.. Chaplain
with fine presentation speech,
which was responded to by Mr..
WILDER with flow of eloquence
that not only surprised the audi
ence, but pleased them. The cup
is beauty and is well worth the
strife to obtain.
