The boat parade last Sunday was a grand sight, nearly all the yachts of the club being in line. There was a good breeze that made the sails stand out i» nice shape. In the regular race Saturday between the first class boats Harriet H. came in fi&t with Mavis second. In the second class Pistakee won; with Claribel second. Emily G. also entered the race but was disabled and could not finish. The illuminated parade Saturday eve­ ning was worth going miles to see and many people from a distance enjoyed the spectacle. About fifty boats were in line all beautifully lighted with or­ iental lanternB and other gay lights. After the boats were all in the club members and guests repaired to the club house where dancing was indulged in until a late hour. Trial races to decide upon a Pistakee representative at the regatta at Pewau- kee Lake were sailed last Wednesday and Thursday, Mavis winning both races, a surprise to eyeryone. Four races had been sailed to decide this matter and Harriet H. won put in three of them, breaking her tiller pin in the fourth. But it seems that the owner of Mavis was not satisfied and the two last races were arranged to fully de­ cide. The wind was not favorable for Harriet H. and she lost Mavis was sa iled by Anthony E.

I was troubled with my stomach for seveial months. Upon be­ ing advised to use Kodol, I did so, and worda cannot tell the good it has done me A neighbor had dyspepsia so that he had tried most everything. I told him to use Kodol. Words of gratitude have come to me from him because I recommended it.--Geo. W. Fry, Viola, Iowa.

A feature of the great Bostock-Ferari Mighty Midway is its Oriental parades about the show grounds, which never fail to please and interest everybody and invaribly proves a most potent in­ spiration to keep enthusiasm at blood heat.

Huge elephants, harnessed with gold aurl jeweled trappings, sure-footed camels, g;iudy in the gay glean of the Syrian de­ sert; magnificient Arab steads that are as peerless specimens of horse flesh as their riders art-horsemen.

The weather during the past week has been warm, and generally fair and favorable for farm work, though light showers occurred over most of state and; heavy rams in a few localities. Having, harvesting and threshing have been pushed rapidly during the week and a great deal of this work has been accom­ plished. Considerable wheat has been threshed during the week. A good average yield continues to be turned out. In many localities of the central district the yield is very heavy. Oat harvest is well advanced in the northern district. In many places it has been completed and threshing has begun. In many fields the ground is so wet that the crop cannot be harvested, and it will probably be lost. The average yield, howeyer, will be good. In the central and southern districts a great deal of the crop has been threshed and a good aver­ age yield is being turned out. Under the favorable conditions of the past week corn has made excellent progress and the prospect for a large crop is very favorable. In the northern and central districts its condition is very fine, but in the southern district the prospect is not so favorable, though a good yield is an­ ticipated in that district.
