ingly uniavorabie. Probably daring the
whole Summer and Auturn there have not
been three successive days so unpropiiious as
Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday OF last
week. Friday and Saturday were compara,
lively pleasant, though the roads were stii
bad. Taking all these things into consider
alton, and after looking over the whole ground
we must say that the Fair has been success
full and satisfactory beyond anything that we
could have reasonably expected. Many arti-
eles and thousands OF visitors were kept away
by the rain, yet the exhibition was good and
the number of visitors large. In some de
partments, as horses, cattlei fruit, and some
mechanical and fine art divisions. the sh ow
has never been surpassed in Iowa, and in
some of these particulars It was equal we
think TO anything ever seenhn the Northwest
Much credit is due to the officers of the
Society and to exhibitors for the cool philos>
ophy and good nature exhibited by them un
der the most discouraginE circumstances.
President Melendy, Secretary Shaifer. Chief
Marshal Downing. and officers generally, dis
played the most indomtable pluck, aud were
| determined to put the Fair through in spite
of foul weather. Exhibitors, too, with one
| or two exceptions, took the pat,er cooly,
declaring in some instances that Iowa pio-
! neers were not to be frightened by small
| shower, aud that they would tstick It ont,
until the last hour of the last day Of the week
without complaint. The result has been a
successful Fair The Society will be able to
meet its obligations. Exhibitors will get
their premiums in full, and the general public
are pleased with the show, and gratifed with
the excellent spirit manifested by all con-
| cerned.
In a social point Of view everything, we
think, was satisfactory. Good order was
preserved, old friendships we're renewed, new
acqusintances made, and fraternal ties
strengthened. Many of the most public
spirited ladies and gentlemen of The State
| have been IN attendance, and the foundations
of lasting friendship and social intercourse
laid. The more intimately acquainted the
people become the more will they esteem and
value. each other.
