THE COUNTY FAIR. The fourth an
nual fair of the Mantowoc County Ag.
ricuitural Society was held on the
grounds of the Society on Thursday
and Friday of last week. If the re
ceipts are creterion of success, this
exhibition bears marked contrast
with former exhibitions. There was
a marked scarcity OF farm products,
vet what was exhibited has scarcely
ever been excelled in the county. The
exhibition OF samples of potatoes was
gVod, in fact, could not be eXceled.
In the stock department there was a
good show, bur was not up to what the
county can show if our farmers would
only have the pluck to bring them for
ward. Mr.. James Taugher, Of the
town of Liberty, had on exhibition a
thoroughbred short.horn Durham
white bull; weight 1900 lbs; % months
old. Last year at the county fair he
weighed l,2l5; calved June %, 1870;
bred by a. Kershaw, Wine, DuPage
county, I'LL.
II. Mulholand, of Meeme, had pen
of his celebrated hogs, which attract
ed universal attention. There were
also several pens Of choice stations
and broad mares. John O'Hearn, Of
Maple Grove, had on exhibition the
handsomest specimen of horse0esh we
have ever seen; ii was tilly, only |
year old.
The exhibition of fruits were better
than last year, thcIgh not as good rs
might have been, had producers taken
an interest in the fair.
In the fine art and fancy work de-
partments there was a good show.

own grounds by the overwhelming score
of IL to a. Mobbs pitched great game
for the ue-stockinged team and re-
ceived great support. With the excep-
ton of the first inning, when couple of
hits and g few errors gave his opponents
three runs, he was never in danger. The
only features were Barrow's catch of
hard fly in center field, and the hitting
of the entire johnson team. Third base
man Bailey hit safely five times out of
five times at bat, and two of them were
three-sackers. A large amolnt of credit
should go to Coach Gallagher for his
handling of the team. (For score, see re-
port Of game elsewhere.)
