Read, near the City of Kenosha, on the
10th, 10th and 18th days of September,
1874 The first Cay was beautiful and
the entries large in comparison to former
years. The heavy rain of the day before
was somewhat dlscouraging to the sue
cess of the fair, but the weather through
first and second days was propitious.
Exhibitors and visitors came in rapidly
and notwithstanding the heavy roads
crowd of people was in attendance on
the second day. The whole number of
entries was 964 being more than three
times that of some years heretofore
In class No. the number of entries was
not large only those who intended to
exhibit for premium entered their

Society at their quarterly meeting in

erything in the way of exhibition passed
off smoothly, no unpleasant feelings
were manifested. all were satisfied with
our Fair. It proved success in every
particular: and one thing was gratifying
to all in attendance. No intox eating
drink could be nad on the ground, and
in consequence no drunkenness was SEE
No accident occurred, and everything
passed off pleasantly, and the general
remark was that 1t was splendid The
friends of the Society are invited as well
as requested to Immediately commence
to prepare their articles for exhibition
at the next annual Fair. Do not let the
next fair fail in consequence Of apathy,
you who have not had experience in ex-
hibiting at the fair years befo1e now
take hold with those who have and more
than double our show another wear.
1t there is any blame on any, it must
be on those judges who were appointed
to act that they were not more prompts
some OF the appointed ones were on the
ground and refused to act. We hope
that at our next Fair all will take hold
IN the several departments and examine
thoroughly and make up their award on
merit. We find that some of the commit
tee did not report on articles where there
was but q single entry or no competi-
ton. This for this year must be over
looked, some of the judges were mex
perier cedin that business, but done we'll
as far as they judged on articles in COM

The judges in division A and B, Glass

vision OF This class we cannot award one,
but recommend discretionary one. Mr..
Richard Richards, of Racine county, had
on exhibition his stallion Sweigert-one
OF the best stock animals in the country
and Of his colts and recommend that
farmers and horse men examine this stock
and breed of horses. J. Il. and John
Kearnes exhibited their two Norman
horses which are too we'll known in this
county to need any praise from us as they
are among the frstSclass Of Stock Horses
in the west.
