iowa STATE FAIR.
Third Days Proceedings.
From Our Own Reporter.l
DUBUQUE, Sept. II, 1858.
The attendance has been much better to-
day, notwithstanding the weather was ex-
ceedingly disagreeable-a cold north wind
prevailing, interspersed with gusts Of rain.
But for the sudden change Of weather, there
would have doubtless been large attend
ance. The Herald Of this morning says:
tThe Fair, as 1t now is, will compare favora-
bly, not only with any Fair ever held In Iowa,
but with the usual run Of Fairs In any State"
But many who are In attendance pronounce
1t as approximattng very nearly to failure.
The County Fair, held here two years ago, is
eaid to have been about as good la most re-
epects as this. There is d certain amount OF
bribery and corruption creeping into our
State Fairs, which must be throttled, or they
will soon become farce-a bye-word. The
sooner the reform In this respect Is Inaugural
ted, the better will It be for all State ngEicnl-
tural and mechanical exhibitions The move
made by Geo. R. Chittenden, General Agent
Of Wheeler &.Wilson's Sewing Machine Com
pany, WAS step in the right direction; aud,
although the Board here had not the back
bone to adopt the test questions he prepared,
and thereby secure an unbiased, disinterested
Committee, that course will be adopted In
regard to ali classes Of premiums, where
there is any prospect Of the Examining and
Awarding Committees being acted upon by
outside Influences, because decisions made By.
committees thus qualified, would be founded
upon equity and Justice to all parties. As an
nounced In my dispatch, Wheeler & Wilson's
machines withdrew, because the Board re-
tueed to adopt these questions for test Of
qualification for the Awarding Committee.
Some contend that the Wheeler d Wilson
machines would have borne of the first pre-.
MUM, while there are others who stated the
first day that the. matter was all arranged,
and another machine was sure to take. the
first premium.
The following are the questions insisted
upon by Mr. Chittenden as the only fair basis
Of awards. 1t will lnaugurate u new system
ofimrartiality Of investigation in all depart
nents, for sooner or later al Fairs will see it
for their interest to adopt this plan.

machines you consider the most merito1loust
It should be stated that these questions
were warmly seconded by Hon. George g.
Wright, President Of the Fair, and Dr.. T. K.
Brooks, but they we're oye1ruled. It is now
believed that had the majority Of the Board
considered this Importance, this plan would
have been adopted upon first presentation,
unanimously, save two or three exceptions.
The whole number OF entries made to the
Fair a1e about 1900. Amount received for en-
tiles, say 81 900. The rental Of stalls and gute
fees will more than treble that sum, probably.
