SUCCESSFUL. EXCURSION.
Mineral Point Business Mems Jaunt of
$50 Miles Through Wisconsin and
Illinois Towns.

Seven O'Clock Thursday morning,
August 3, the weather aspect was
bright and cheering and at that hour,
when the Mineral Point Business Men's
excursion train pulled out of this city.
via the c. Nj. & st. p, for visitation
trip to various towns in southwestern
Wisconsin and Northern Illinois, there
were upwards of one hundred and sixty
passengers, including band and vocal
quartet, and all We're filled to the brim
with good fellowship and enthusiasm
for the grand old town they represented.
The first stop was made at Gratiot.
Here the villagers were found barely
prepared at such an early hour to eX-
tend the greeting they would like.
However, the rendering of selections
by the band and quartet aroused them
to a "Hurrah for Mineral Point.
On 10 Warren. At this place the
citizens were out in large numbers, ex-
tending a hearty welcome, which was
duly appreciated After a creditable
street parade by the excursionists, the
throng assembled and speeches and
music took up the remainder of the
short half-hour allotted for this stop.

Special Fair Notes.

Races viii be started by w. C. Rob.
bins, the veteran starter.
Teams will enter at the main en-
trance as usual but the general drive
way will be down the north side of the
grounds. This was made necessary by
the great congestion caused in recent
years by teams passing up and down
the midway drought the dense crowds
that gathered there. The new ar
rangement will be much safer and
much more convenient.
Automobile headquarters viii be di-
rectly opposite the main entrar ce which
will prevent any confusion at the gates.
See announcement elsewhere.
Entries for the races close Tuesday,
August Sth The list of entries will be
issued Thursday night or Friday morn
ing.
Every indication points to record
breaking fair. Crop conditions appear
to be excellent.
The ball games will be umpired by
one experienced in that line.
The fair officers wish to thank the
citizens of Mineral Point for the splen-
did manner in which they turned out
and made the excursion of August 3rd
the greatest advertisement that any
fair ever had. The trip was COM
plete success from start to finish.
All together now and help make this
the biggest fair we ever had.
