A Very Successful ExhibitiOn-Pre
miunS Awarded.

The fair of the Northern Wisconsin
Agricultural society, held at Oshkosh
during the past week was the most sue
cessful ever given by that society. The
Oshkosh Northwestern, in speaking of
the appearance on the ground on Tues
day morning, says:
"The arrival of stock continued until
every stall and shed was filled, even with
animals doubled up in the stalls, and
two herds Of cattle had to be tied to the
fences while workmen were engaged in
putting up additional sheds. The ma
chinery department. is beyond all bounds.
Machinery hall is overlooking, and the
space between the building and the
track is completely filled with agriculture
al implements of all kinds, from crow
bars to steam threshing machines in full
operation. The fruit and vegetable de-
partments are overloaded, and the fine
arts department exceeds all expectations,
and the quality of the exhibits far sur
passes that of all former years. The
secretary and clerks worked till after
midnight last night recording entries,
and it was found impossible to close the
books before noon to-day, $50 steadily did
Every department of the exhibition
except that of poultry far exceeded any
thing before seen in the society's dis
plays, not only in the fulness but in the
completeness of the exhibit. The fair
was formally opened on Tuesday at 80
P. NJ. by President Hazen, and the work
of inspection by the judges at once COM
menced. The attendance on each day
was good, but was best on Thursday,
when it was estimated that at least IL, 900
people were on the ground at one time.
The Northwestern gives the following as
