Central Wisconsin Fair.

Fair Grounds in this city. The officers OF
the Association are indie fatigable in thei
efforts to make this fair q grand success,
and from present indications the exhibition
promises to be the most brilliant ever held
in this portion Of the State. The liberal
premium list offered by the Soc iety will be
| the means OF inducing large number Of
exhibitors to be present with entries, and
Hne and varied exhibition of products,
rejecting credit both on the exhibitors and
the state, may be expected. The most
ample means have been provided for the care
and display Of articles Of all kinds at the
grounds, and nothing will be left undone for
the accommodation of the exhibitors. The
programme of this FIVE days exhibition in
cludes many interesting trials of speed from
some OF the best blooded horses in Wiscon-
sin and this cannot fail to be an attractive
| feature of the fair. Foot races and walk ing
matches are also down on the programme.
for which good purses are offered and the
| competition is expected to be sharp for
these prizes. A blowing match, which can
! not fail to be attractive and interesting to
the farmers of the surrounding country
takes place and for this a good sized purse
is TO be G. ven to the successful competitor.
The grounds throughout viii be placed in
the best possible condition for the EXPOSE
ton. The track, acknowledged to be the
best half mile course in the state, W i'll be n
the best of order SO that full justice may be
done the horses so far as the track is con-
cerned.
The Asso citation have no other purpose
CT aim in view than to make this exhibition
worthy Of the patronage of the people, and
one that will reflect credit on the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical resources of Central
Wisconsin. In this determ ination the eff
forts of the Society should meet with q
hearty and ready response from the people
of this section of the state and the in
habitants of this and the surrounding count
les owe it to themselves to promote the
interests and success Of this Exposition to
the best Of their ability. No portion of
Wisconsin is richer in resources than this,
| and it is therefore not unreasonable to ex-
pect a display of no ordinary Importance
both as to size and variety. Every depart
ment OF Agriculture should be we'll repre-
sented and proper spirit Of emulation en-
listed among the farmers. In this way the
agricultural interests of the country are. best
fostered and promoted. In Mechanical Arts
ard other branches Of Industries the display
should be none the less good. Watertown
will do her level best to make it pleasant
and agreeable for everybody who may see
fit to attend the fair, and we are sure all
wiz go away with golden opinions Of the
treatment they have received from our cti-
zens. No narrow-gauge policy will be pur-
sued, but warm welcome extended to all.
