CContlnaed from pace 1.) Jnation to feel the keen pleasure that could be enjoyed by the people In the grove and In the grand stand who gather In little groups to listen to the music, as It waved over the little lake and echoed back from the hills on the other side. The high diving stunt, owing to Injury to the driver, had to be omitted yesterday evening, but was promised for this evening. The fireworks in the evening were gorg-ous and will be repeated this evening. Th'5 free attractions cost the management In the neighborhood of $1,500

for the week but it was money well expended. The trick bicyclists, the athletes and the aerial acrobats were artists. There was good hack service to and from, the depots and all hours of the day and evening and the prices were very reasonable. Attorney Peterson proved to be an excellent starter and John Gavit and

J. R. Malone of Valparaiso as fearless

judges.

Much regret was expressed on every

side, especially among Hammond peo

ple, when it was learned that Laura Fay, McAleer's pacing mare, would not start today. It was a rich field for the politician. He was in evidence everywhere, and he did not overlook the baby either. There may be bigger attractions somewhere else, but in no other place ir. the world can the people pf Lake County buy admission to a place where they will meet so many of their old friends whom they have not seen in years as at a county fair. This alone Is worth all the money that It costs to take in the fair. Just a friendly suggestion to the management of the county fair: A few seats scattered through the grove.

where tired people may sit when the grass is dusty, a few more side shows Instead of spinning wheels, coupled with that spirit that the management has shown in the past to give the people the best for their money, may meet with popular favor.

HAS HARDJJJGK STORY Oscar Ahlgren May Write a

Book on Experiences Going to County Fair. (Special to The Times). Whiting, Ind., Aug. 21. Oscar Ahlgren, Arthur Gardner and , Eric Mc-

Clellan wanted to attend the fair at Crown Point, so they thought about the cheapest wav to go and take in the

sights was to go by bicycle. They reached Crown- Point In due time, but they had no sooner struck town when Ahlgren's wheel broke down. The three boys worked from 1 to 5 o'clock trying to repair it, but did not succeed. They were at a loss as what to do, as he did not have the money to pay his car fare home. He saw that It was up to him to walk home so he thought the sooner he started the better. He took his wheel to a farm house and began his journey. He came in contact with a farmer's wagon and the driver agreed to let him ride. Instead of being taken in the direction of home he was taken three miles out into the country and was compelled to walk back to the road. Asks Farmer For Ride.

After striking the road again was not making very good time, when an auto happened to pass

asked the occupant for a ride. He was given a ride as far as East Chicago, from where he took the car. He reached home at 9:30 and his friends were much surprised to find upon their arrival that he had beaten them by about two hours. Their experience is perhaps a lasting one, as Ahlgren says he won't try to see any more county fairs on a bicycle unless he is fortunate enough to have car fare home on his person.

CONTRAGTS FORFEITED

Gary Construction Company Lays Down on Two Whiting Streets. "Whiting, Aug. 21. (Special) At a special council meeting held here last night, the Gary Construction company, which has the paving contract for One Hundred and Nineteenth street, Penn

sylvania avenue and New York avenue,

forfeited the contract for New York and Pennsylvania avenues on the

grounds that they could not finish the work as soon as the city would like

to have it done.

The company has had the streets torn up for a long time and they are now impassable. The company, however, agreed to finish One Hundred

and Nineteenth street immediately. City Attorney Westfall went to Gary to confer with the Gary Construction company relative to the contracts and brought back the word to the council last evening. The city will advertise for bids on

Pennsylvania and New York avenues next Tuesday evening.

HOBARTPAPERADrwIiTS IT Says Milk Was Shipped By Hardesty When Diphtheria Was in Family. Hobart, Ind., Aug. 21. (Special) In commenting on The Times' story about the investigation of the milk-shopping there at the orders of Dr. Evans of the Chicago board of health and Dr. Hutry of the state board, the Hobart Gazette says that the story is untrue throughout and then admits that milk was shipped from the farm of Hardesty when there was dlptheria on the place and that Dr. Dobbins of Wheeler permitted it. The story came from both the Chicago and Indianapolis boards of health.

The Gary authorities have had a great del of trouble with some of the milk shipped from Hobart township in the

past.

With a dead man in the cabin, and another fainting on the reck from hunger and exhaustion, after a terrible voyage on Lake Michigan, the little

sloop Juanlta of South Chicago was

yesterday towed into the Milwaukee harbor. News reached South Chicago last night of the rescue in midlake. The dead man is supposed to be Phillip Thompson, a well-to-do resident of Escanaba, Mich. His companion, Edward Geebe, 40 years old, lived in South Chicago until recently. When the boat was towed Into Milwaukee Beebe told a terrible story of how the storm of Monday night had torn away the sails of the sloop and they were compeled to drift around in the lake without anything to eat or drink. Fright and Hunger. Thompson, Beebe said, is thought to

have died from fright and for nearly j twenty hours he remained on board

with his dead companion, trying to see a passing ship. The men had had nothing to eat since Tuesday. After the sails had been torn off the sloop the boat became unmanageable and they were at the mercy of the waves, which threatened to send the boat to the bottom of the lake. The little sloop had drifted to nearly thirty miles of South Chicago in the lake at a good gait, when the Helena spied it and went to their rescue. The Helena is a freighter and plies between South Chicago and Milwaukee, and was making for Milwaukee when the boat was sighted. Beebe told of how they passed about three excursion boats which were near them, and he put up a signal of distress, but they all seemed to Ignore It and kept on their way. He also said that he thought he might as well end his life in the waves as to wait the fate of starving, but after he thought of his wife and children he kept up his courage until they were rescued.
