Elevations.

Bald Bluf-In the eastern part of
Greenfield there is an elevation of land
known as Bald bluff. Years ago there
was no timber on the land but since
the coming of the early settlers trees
have covered the hill. From this ele-
walton or from that region several
streams have their origin and among
them are Jackson, Sibertz, Calydon
Clark and Palmer creeks. The little
brook in Palfrey's glen also has lis
source in that vicinity.

this city. About 8 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon special train arrived from
Reedsburg bringing its contestants,
accompanied by over 200 rooters. The
visitors in one mass marched through
the streets of the city, waving their
remnants and singing patriotic songs
until dusk. There were also many
representatives from Waunakee and
Lodi.
At the auditorium in the evening
there was not standing room left when
the contest was commenced and 600
people is fair estimate of the audi
ence. The large room was prettily
decorated with flowers and remnants
for the occasion.
The speaking by the young ladies
and the young men showed an i'm
provement over the contests held here
tofore. Some of the young lady con-
testants, who were so small they could
scarcely be distinguished from the rear
of the great room, delivered their adj
dresses with so much courage and vim
that they fairly made the rostrum
tremble. Each speaker did we'll and
is worthy of much credit.
Vocal and instrumental selections
were given during the evening by Mrs.
J. M. Kelley, Mrs. G. w. Snyder,
Miss Julia Cady of Reedsburg, and
Leonard R4ymour which were very
favorably received by the audience.
E. P. McFetridge of the school board
had charge of the program.
The declamatory contest in which
the young ladies took part was given
first and Immediately after the last
Grafton was given the most thrilling
part was experienced. This was the
yelling by Reedsburg and Baraboo
who evidently were attempting to see
who could make the most noise. The
visiting aggregation was located in one
section Of the room with Baraboo
bunch just opposite and another local
crowd Of high school young men were
doing all sorts of gymnastic stunts and
and straining their lungs on the ros-
trum.
A number accompanied the Reeds
burg crowd to the depot where the
yelling was brought to Climax each
person became SO hoarse he could
hardly utter a sound without distress.
The special left for Reedsburg about
1890 o'clock.
