THE COUNTY FAIR.

This is county fair week. The fair
days are Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday. The exhibition halls are
well filed, the races are good, Inc tree
attractions are of high order and ev-
erything points to successful fair
Having to compete with eight other
fairs this week the pike is but shadow
of its old self Many of the familiar
games and attractions there are missing
and this is the only disappointing
feature. The real substantial county
fair factors are better than ever. The
cattle exhibit was never, if ever, as
large or as good as this years gather
ing.
The troupe ef girls N trick bicycle

and gymnastics are high class BOOKINGS

pace were run off as follows:

ITEMS FROM THE PILOT FILES,
FORTY.FOUR YEARS AGO.

THE DRY DOCK.-All doubts in re-
gard to the effectiveness OF the dry
dock being capable of performing the
work which its designers and builders
contemplated has been set at rest. and
we may confidently announce to the
lake marine that the port of Manito-
voc possess the largest dry dock on the
lake in iull and successful operation.
The dimensions of the dock are as fol-
lows: Length 265 feet; breadth on
top, IS feet; breadth on bottom, 40
feet; depth of water when full, Is feet,
Untold difficulties were encountered in
building this dock, owing to the nature
of the ground. Then when all was
completed, there were leaks caused by
washing away of the soil that sur
rounded it; but the indomitable persev-
erance of the gentlemen composing
the company determined them to spare
no effort or expanse in perfecting the
dock so that it should be second to
none on the lakes. On Saturday last
their we'll directed efforts were CT own.
ed with success, and the schooner In.
dustry, which had been in it all the
past season, and almost entirely rebuilt,
was let into the river, and her place
taken by the propeller Fayette, of
Cleveland. In three hours after the
Fayette entered, the dock was emptied
entirely of water, and to use a fgura-
tive expression, it was dry as chip.
The propretors are to be congratulate
ed upon this success, and already there
are several vessels awaiting their turn
to be accommodated.
1t will be seen, from the dimensions
Of the dock above given, that it is cap
able Of receiving vessels of the largest
class; and Manitowoc can now proudly
boast of having not only the best and
safett harbor OF the lakes, but unsur
passed facilities for repairing and
building vessels.

SHIP YARD BUSY.

The third OF five big steel trawers

launched last Saturday. The three
launched have been CLrlstened Surge,
Comber and Whitecap. 1t is expected
that four Of the five can bs sent down

closes on the lakes. They are sturdy
looking crafts and will prove big ad-
vertisement to the local yards The

The local company has secured con.

These ships will each be of $500 tons

Mr.. Torrison has no idea of economi-

building erected for the post Office.
He intends TO put in tile floor. The
Sheboyga s $4,000 post Office built at
the expense of the government will
hardly excel ours erected by private
enterprise.
DR.. Kemper has communication in
yesterdays Sentinel in which he takes
the ground that hydrophobia is either
wholly imaginery disease or so un-
common as to merit but little atten-
ton. Still that fact does not justify
the citys being overrun by dogs.

NEW GARMENTS
FOR WOMEN
Including New Suits, Coats, Dresses
and Waists

You will find this gathering to be just
the kind of apparel that the greater num-
Der Of we'll dressed women have need of.
The prices are particularly low, consider
ing the many influences that are insisting
that higher prices be made upon materials
and tailoring. 1t is unusual that such guam
titles of new, fresh models which are of
the early seasons showing, should be pric-
ed so low. We will not attempt to give a
great deal of detail in the description of
the choice models, but will leave the pleas
ure of surprise for you in the various de-
partments.

private conveyance. On Saturday we

are completed, which he hopes at no
distant day to accomplish.

OBITUARY..

Joseph Chloupek, aged 81, died at
the Holy Family hospital Monday
morning. He was bitten in the leg by
a dog last May and the wound did not

pain and worry. He has been failing
since this occurrence but had not been
confined to the home. Last Saturday

How They Stand.

Yap, a Chinese student at Lehlgh is a pip of baseball player, despite his name.
 Rube Marquard holds a record ol winning 19 straight games while he was member of the Giants. But that doesn't get Brooklyn anything.
 Football for 1916 promises to be the real thing in gridiron warfare. A member of the Yale squad has al ready broken his leg in a practice game.
 Wagner, Hinchmer and Carey ot the Pirates are included in the list o1 leading run -getters of the National league. But the Callahans seeem 60 be trifle shy in tha matter oi game getters.
 When the Giants were trailing the National league bunch Johnny Evers predicted that once started the Me Grawites would rush forward at top speed. The Browns, the White Sox and the Pirates can now use httle of your prediction. John.

BASEBALL GOSSIP.

'Tis said Heinie Zimmerman is the greatest captain the Chicago Cubs have had in the past two weeks.
 The Yankees played to 300O0 fans in New York the other day. Which showsj that baseball is dead. just like the Mexican bandits.
 Southpaw Jack Pfeister, who past timed with the Cubs when the old machine was in good working order, wants to return to the game.
 Just to show the Giants were not the only climbers in baseball, the Athletics turned on full steam and shot forward themselves.
 Just as soon as Rebel" Oakes' Denver team finishes it's spring train ing the former Fed pilot will enter his outfit in the Western league race. Jake. Daubert is the only Brooklyn player among the National league leaders in hitting. base-stealing and run-g getting. And yet the Dodgers have been showing the greatest speed in the league.
 Bill James, the Braves pitcher. says his arm is now strong enough for him to go in and earn his salary. Bill must 'have got hunch that the Braves owners were getting uneasy. In Cincinnati they are still, lament ing the loss of Miller Huggins, once with the Reds and now boss of the Cardinals Miller is only one of many nifty performers that the Reds have allowed to get away.
 The existence of any tail-end team is a miserable one, but the limit of despair is to be found at the bottom of the Eastern league column, where nine instead of seven teams hold forth above.
 Rumor has it that another "ouIaw' league is to be launched in New lEng- land. Perhaps the promoters have never heard the sad story of the eek of the Colonial league.

FRENCH SCULPTOR
 WORKS IN GERMANY

Berlin, May 21.-The authorities of the prison camp at Grieshcim, near Darmstadt, have had small but com plete atelier fitted up for Leo Gall, the Parisian sculptor. The French artists first work consisted of me- dallion portraits of the officers of the camp. Additional material was then furnished him, and he has just com pleted a piece of work which many persons consider the best thing he has ever done. It is monument for French prisoners who have died in Darmstadt. The shaft to be erected in the Darmstadt cemetery, shows a dying French soldier lying on a flight of marble stairs, his gaze fixed on relief portraits of parents, broth CTS and sisters on the face of a mar ble wall which runs along the top of the stairs. From the wall rises a statue pefscnifying France. The names of the dead are carved oM the ends of the wall

GERMANY'S WAR LOAN.

Berlin, May 23.-When the recent German loan was in process of sub- scription it was the impression among many bankers that small subscribers were not coming forward so numer- ously as for the loan of last Septem- Der. Figures now published disclose on the other hand that the number of small subscribers for this latest loan was greater than for any previous issue. No fewer than 4,259,98S Ger mans subscribed for amounts of 1,00O ($238) each, whereas this class of subscribers for the September, 1915, loan, embraced only 2,76121 names, and that of March, 1915, 1,943,359 names. Bankers declare that these figures indicate that the war loans are growing more and more popular among the poorer classes of the people.
