KENOSHA COUNTY AGRICULTURE
' %9ffC AL FAIR gf2fgifffJ

i We published last week the official re-
port of the Goth Annual Fair of the Ke'
nosha County Agricultural Society, ex-
fcept the address which is not yet Mon
tday-received. The Fair is reported to
have been success financially, notwith-
standing the Rail Road refusing to fur.
nish special trains, The want of special
trains was great drawback, but the peo-
pie were determined to have good time
and they succeeded. We were present
part of the last day, and, with others in
attendance, had a pleasant time. We
had but little time, however. to see any
thing on exhibition. Our attention was
called particularly to some fine Durham
Cattle and Cotswold Sheep, entered by
William Rhodes, of Brighton. Mr.
Rhodes is breeding cattle and sheep for
sale. We would mention also some fine
appearing Berkshire Pigs entered by 3:
A. Carpenter, of Pleasant Prairie Low
ers OF pork may find abundance Of at. in
1.-THE Berkshire. We woxld also mention
a year old he1fer and three calves =
triplets-all of a deep red color, exhibi-
ted by l.. d. Woodwork, Of Bristol
They were all entitled to prize fol-
beauty, amability aud intelligence, and
the unanimous award of all was, that the
mother was abundantly prolific, and il
that was good quality, she was entitled
to the highest prize. gssps6
Kcnosha County has within herself th.
means of sustaining gocd County Fairs
and of making them useful to her people
i The opinion we believe is becoming quite
!. general however, that the Fair
are not what they might AMI
should be. The Fair Ground
are located where there is little or nt
accommodation for people to stay owe
night. there being no public houses at O
near the place. And there is no con
nection by railway with the cities ant
villages on the Lake Shore by which IRE
sidents of those places could &c. topth
Fair and return the same day AS the.
can neither go and stay over night, n or g
and return, they must stay at home, or e
4 some place else than to the Kenosh,
County Fairs j SO tits too, if any on
residing in those places should desir
to enter stock, agricultural or horti
cultural productions, manufactures Sc
there is no Convenient way, of gettins
to the Fair Grounds, and if they make
entries, they will make them some place
else. For these reasons and many Others
/. which might be given, it is evident thai
the location is nat a good one. The PEG
4 pie of the county most interested in. the
success Of the Fairs, we beIieYe are be-
4 coming satisfied that the location is moi
the best that could be made in the county
It would seem that Kenosha, being acces
!, sible by railway from the west and from
the north and south, and having, accom-
modations for those who might desire te
attend and to stay over night, and tt
bring stock and articles for entry, wa
the most suitible place in the county fol
the location Of the Fair Grounds. Ant
we think these must be the views of the
people generally of the county, as vel
f as of the city. Of the grounds tia
. could be obtained and their suitablenes
. and adaptation for Fair Grounds we shall
. probably have something to say here
! after.
