GAINESVILLE Fair August 14-17.

This year Rock county will have but
one fair and all indications point that
an exhibition will be given worthy the
name of one of the richest and most
progressive counties in the state.
The prize list will approximate in the
aggregate more than that of any pre-
vious fair held upon our grounds. The
classification OF prizes in the premium
list has been given the most careful at
tention, and it is to be hoped that it
will meet with the approval of all pros
pective exhibitors.
far as it is possible, for representative
and the public will surely be benefited
by the exhibits we will have in the diff
ferent classes.
GAINESVILLE has long been noted for its
famous speed contests, its excellent
mile and half-mile race courses and in
the past the large entries of horses
have given ample evidence of the fine
tracks, service and> courteous treat
ment accorded to all. Last years race
program was very completes but this
department is having more attention
than in any year past and the speed
program this year will be upon scale
much>larger than ever before attempt
ed. From the large number of entries
being received the speed department
will be taxed to the limit and the thou
sands who will daily attend this years
fair will not only witness the largest
number of race horses ever assembled
on county fair grounds, but also will
be given opportunity of witnessing the
best races ever held in this section of
the country.
In addition to the exhibits, the man
agement has provided for entertain
ment of the highest character for the
amusement of those attending the fair.
The free attractions are given by all
high class performers, each one feat
ure act, and success of this feature of
the fair is certain. Our midway is bet
ter this year than ever before and the
management announces that every pre-
caution has been taken to keep this
part of the fair grounds free from all
Objectionable persons and exhibits.
Good clean fun, and good clean fun
only, will be in abundance here. The
speed program has been very carefully
planned. Liberal purses are offered
and the large number of race horses
entered should make this years speed
contests the very best ever held on our
grounds.
Janesville's Big Fair and Live Stock
Exposition should be attended by every
person living in this community and the
surrounding territory accessible to it.

Did You Ever!

Under the spreading chestnut tree. a
stubborn auto stands, and Smith, an
angry man is he, with trouble on his
hands. He cusses softly to himself
and wonders why it didn't bust before
he got so far. The carburator seems
to be the cause of all his woe; he
tightens half dozen bolts, but still it
doesn't go. And then he tries the
steering gears, but finds no trouble
there, until wet with Precipitation, then
be quits in sheer despair He squats
beside the road to give his brain a
chance to cool, and ponders on his
training in a correspondence school,
and then he starts the job once more
until by chance he's seen the cause of
all the trouble -he's out of gasoline.
