GRANT COUNTY FAIR.
Only Six Weeks More Until There Will
be "Some Doin's"

It hardly seems possible now rapid
ly the summer is passing away, and
that it is only six weeks from now
unit the big Grant County Fair will
be in progress in Lancaster. Yet such
is fact, the dates being Sept. /, 2
and 8. The farmers are talking about
it and making preparation to be pres
ent with a greater showing of blooded
stock than in former years. The fact
that the Platteville fair comes upon
the same dates this year seems to be
stimulating interest in the good old
Grant county organization and an en-
deavor will be made to surpass former
effort all along the line.
The printers are at work on the
premium list of the fair and other
advertising matter is being gotten
ready for an extensive bill posting
campaign. The list of premiums has
been revised and added to; some first
class special attractions booked and
good purses offered in the racing de-
partment The committee has decid-
ed TO put up $3.50 for base ball games
on "Wednesday and Thursday, Sept. 2
and 8, with first and second money to
the winning and losing teams respect
lively. None too early to begin max
ing preparations as to what you will
show at the fair

THE PLATTEvILLE GAME.

Lancaster defeated the Platteville
Cubs in a closely contested game
Thursday by a score of to 4. The
home boys won out in the eighth max
ing one of those grand stand finishes
for which they are becoming noted.
The visitors were the first to score,
Smith hitting the ball into the tall
grass of left field close to the foul
line and trotted home while the field
ers searched vainly for it. Ordinar-
lily this hit would have gone for not
more than two bases.
Lancaster evened up on the score in
the same inning, Ahearn getting
life, going to second on Negar's balk,
to third on Pennock's out, Barry to
Katz, and scoring on Palmer's
single. Platteville broke the tie in
the fourth as follows: Larke singled
and went to second on Ovens out at

third. Smith stole second. Foster
got a single, scoring Larke and ad-
vancing the Platteville catcher to
third. jackson reached first on
Friends error which also scored
Foster and Negar. This ended the
Cubs scoring and for the rest of the
game they were held to one hit, Pid-
dington pitching great ball the rest

Lancaster tied the score in the
seventh Hause1, the first man up

then stole second, Madden laid little
grounder down toward first on which
he tricked Katz, the Platteville first
baseman into running him down be-
tween home plate and first in order TO
let Hauser in with his score. Friend
went to third and scored on Gleghorn s
single. Gleghorn proceeded to steal
the diamond on the Platteville catcher
getting second and third. He scored
on an error by jackson, at third.
Piddington went out on foul fly to
left
The winning run came in the
eighth, when Ahearn reached first on
an error by Foster, only to be called

second on the out of Pennock at first.
where he fell off the bag having sprain-
ed his ankle. Ahearn held up his
hand as signal for time, but Foster
put the ball on him, and the umpire
allowed the play to go. Palmer then
singled stole second on Hauser's long
single. This was enough to win the
game. Ames was the last out for the
locals

SPARKS FROM THE DIAMOND

OEARhO MN ILL DA@A~AO@ND
Another good crowd attended Thurs
days game, despite the threatening
weather.
Ahearn, the new short stop of the
locals, may be out of the game for
several days on account of his sprain-
ed ANGLE. His loss will be felt. for
he has been playing great game at
short and has been getting on the bags
at opportune times.
The Lancaster players were up on
their toes Thursday. Seven men
stole on Smith, the Platteville catch
Ell.
Palmer made great catch in left,
off Smith, in the Platteville game.
The good natured roofing of the
crowd Thursday helped things along
nicely. Roofing has won many a
game.
Hauser has been doing some star
work at third, and has been hitting the
ball as we'll. His speed enables him
to beat out great many hits and also
pilfer many sacks.
Platteville players figured it out in
little while.
Vivian Laughton, of Platteville,
umpired all the games played here
this week.
That little stunt of Madden's in the
seventh, brought forth some express
sion from the Platteville players, di-
rected at Katz, which must have been
painful to the first baseman.

through his territory and as a result
seems to feel quite encouraged from his
political point of view. He says too
that he found everybody busy fixing
their fences, harvesting and threshing
their crops which as a general thing
have been excellent all over the south
ern Hills. One thing is sure there is no
farmer among them all that is any more
strenuous in fixing his fences than Denis
is just now. He is a worker and no
mistake.
