Agrifnltnra1,
Annual Fair of the Agricultural Society
Of the County Of Kenosha.

The annual Fair of the Agricultural
Society Of the County of Kenosha, was
held on Thursday Sept. 9Oth and Fri
day Oct. lst, 1858.
The weather the first day was some
what unfavorable (being rainy in the
morning) and in consequence the en-
tries were made very late, which gave
the Judges quite too short time to do
full justice in all particulars-thereb be.
ing 334 entries in all the departments.
The second day was most beautiful
one, and the largest gathering of people
ever convened in this county upon such
an occasion. The address was deliver
ed by member of the society-F. J.
Brande, Esq, of Pleasant Prairie.
The Fair passed off pleasantly, great
unanimity prevailed; all classes seemed
to unite, in rendering the occasion one Of
real usefulness and pleasure. May the
society continue in interest as it advanc-
es in age, until the glorious advantages
of this industrial association shall be felt
in succeeding years, and until the differ
ent departments here represented shall
have fully realized the consummation Of
our most sanguine hopes, that the soci-
ETY. shall prove instrumental in develop
ing the resources of the county in mate
rial wealth. ii. H. TARBELL,
Secretary.
The committee on horses in making
their report feel that they have not had
sufficient time allowed them to do full
justice to all exhibitors the weather
yesterday morning being inclement en-
tries We're made late in the day, and be-
ing numerous, it was almost impossible
In some instances (when animals of the
same class were SO nearly equal in point
of excellence Ito discriminate with ac-
curacy the respective merits of each.
The show of horses on the ground
was large and on the whole very good,
although many more would probably
have been on the ground had the wealth
er been fine yesterday. Among the
stations we noticed the splendid Black
Hawk horse belonging to E. Sawyer, of
Racine county, although not. competing
for premium he is deserving our warm
est commentator as horse of beauti-
full model and fine action. Also very
fine grey Messenger horse, from Antioch,
Illinois, belonging to L. p. Barnes, at
tracted good deal of attention as a
horse of fine size, beautiful color, and
sprightly movement, but of course did
not compete for premium. Also a
Black Hawk horse owned by Geo. Pad.
dock, OF Kenosha, was exhibited; he is
horse Of compact build, powerful mus
Gle, and good mover, but as he took
the first premium last year he is not
again entitled to compete for premium
this year. I7a N
The next horse on the list was a dark
chestnut Morgan belonging to B. Stan
ton, of Wheatland. He is a horse of
most beautiful model, good size, and
pleasant eountenance, and were it not
that he had been somewhat injured, we
should pronounce him perfect horse.
We award him the first premium
