Counties Receive Auto Fees.

Rock county will receive So, 12O. 81
from the state as it's share of the auto
mobile and motorcycle license money
collected from owners of machines in
the county for the fiscal year ending
July l. The total amount collected in
the state for the year was $124, 303.
This money is to be divided among the
counties in proportion to the number of
licenses issued. Waukesha county gets
So, 235 and Racine county So, 204. Mil
waukee county gets the largest amount.
ST, 425, while Villas county receives the
smallest, only $40.
The money returned to each county
is to be used for repairing the roads
outside the cities and incorporated vii
lagos, as the county boards should de-
termine Under the law as it was prior
to January l, 1912, the license fee once
paid and number plates secured, the
owner was exempt from further pay
ment. Now the fee is payable annual
~, S. for each automobile and dealer
and So for each motorcycle. And so,
on December 81, next, every license &C
counted for above, as well as all issued
from now on until that time, viii ex-
pire and before the cars may again be
used on the public highways new IL
censes must be secured.

FOR RENT OR SALE CHEAP
Warehouse Contract Let.

A telegram received from the Phila-
delphia firm of Otto Eisenlohr & Bro.
Monday awarded the contract for the
erection of the big tobacco warehouse
in this city to the GAINESVILLE contract
ing concern of Shearer, Ford & Booth.
The price of the completed building,
240x1O0 feet, is somewhere near $57, 900,
so we are informed. 1t is to be two
story and basement structure, the main
storage to be 60x240 feet, with a lean
to sorting room 60x24O feet. The base
ment walls are to be of cut stone with
solid brick superstructure and slate
roof, and as nearly fire-proof as posi-
BILE, having frequent fire walls across
the storage. 1t will be equipped with
two heating plants and electric elevator
service, and will be the largest tobacco
storage building in the state. The con-
tractors command sufficient force to
be able to complete the building within
the specified time called for by the con-
tract which calls for the building to
be in readiness to handle the growing
crop.

PICNIC DREW A FINE FIELD OF
HORSES.
Time Records Broken Ball Games Ex-
citing II. A. & B. Society
PLAY About Even.

But for unfavorable weather condi-
tons the 30th annual picnic and races
OF Father Mathews t. A. & B. society
would have drawn the largest attend
ance IN its history for the two days of
entertainment. Wednesday opened with
lowering clouds that discouraged many
from distance in coming, but clear
ing weather followed and the attend
ance reached close to 5000 that day,
and the program as arranged was fully
carried out. The baseball game sched-
uled for the morning event between
the teams of Edgerton and Stoughton
was one of the best ever seen on the
grounds. The local team had been
strengthened until they were more
than match for the semi-professi0nal
team Stoughton is maintaining this
season. Bond, who pitched for Edger-
ton, proved puzzler and held the Wis
itors at his mercy to the end. Slough
ton failed to score until the sixth and
then it was uphill work to add enough
to make it two to one game by
score of to a in favor of Edgerton.
Twelve hits were got off Clayton's de-
livery and many times his support was
poor at critical place, all contributing
to the easy defeat of the Stoughton
team.
The race program attracted the fin
est field of horses ever gathered here
on any similar occasion, the entries for
the different events numbering more
than sixty animals, and some remark
ably fast time was made, breaking the
track record and furnishing several
close and exciting finishes The fol-
lowing is the summary of the first
days races:
The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1912-08-16

The weather Thursday was even
more unfavorable as the clouds threat
ened rain nearly all day and yet the at
tendance reached close to 1000 people.
After the rain had compelled the morn
ing program to be changed consider
ably, it was decided to call the ball
game between Whitewater and Fort
Atkinson at II 30 1t was an exhibi-
tion of one of the prettiest pitchers
battles seen on the local diamond in
some time, neither team scoring until
the sixth inning, both teams getting
one run. In the last half of the ninth,
however, Whitewater finally bagged
the game with three hits in succession
and one error, netting them one run.
Clarence Kuckil struck out thirteen
men and allie we'd Fort Atkinson but
three hits.
The afternoon races were fairly under
way when light rain set in, increas-
ing in severity so that none of the
races were finished. When the 2:25
trot was called there were eleven start
ers. The first heat was won by Fear
less Onward, a Lodi horse, in ia.
Then Monarch, owned by Dan Fenelon
of Ripon, took the next two heats in
1909 and 1:1Oa, when the race was de-
clared ended
In the free-for-all race, purse $500,
with four starters, but two heats were
made, both taken by Henry Hamilton,
owned by Thompson of Pau Pau, Ill
Mile heats in 2:123 and 2:121.
In the 2:40 class there were nine
starters. One heat was taken by
Scotty, owned by Scott of Cherry Val
ley, ILL.,, and the second declared dead
heat between the former and The In
dian, owned in Milwaukee. Time LOG,
1:041. The races in each class were
declared closed on account Of rain and
purses divided according to positions
gained.
Of the side attractions the balloon
ascension was the only one that proved
a disappointment and this seemed to be
a fiat failure. The apparatus for fill
ing the gas bag failed to work and
after several hours of persistent effort
gave up, much to the disgust of large
crowd that waited the ascension.
The closing events of the picnic days
proved big drawing cards-the dances
given at Academy hall. Three hundred
eleven tickets were sold to the two
dances and both occasions were enjoy
able events. That no accident OF any
kind marred the pleasures of the picnic
is fortunate. AS financial venture
the society thinks the receipts from all
sources will pay the bills and leave
small surplus, which is gratifying con-
sidering they were up against rainy
week for their dates.
