MADISON, Wis, Sc

On Monday, 18th inst, the gates of
thrown open to the public. and the
people of the state will be able to judge /
for themselves of the beauty and fit |
ness of the park for the purposes 1t is
all friends of the State Agricultural /
Society, and. in fact, to the people of !
the state generally, that there will be
no State Fair held in Wisconsin after |
this year until September, 1884, the |
differen: State Agricultural Associa- |
tions having agreed with the board Of |
managers of the W orldfS Columbian |
Exposition not to hold fairs in 1898. i
Our State Fair this year Will therefore
be the only opportunity of seeing the
new grounds for two years. No one
should miss this chance of enjoying a
holiday trip to the State Fair. The
railroad companies have made the
usual rates, and whenever practical or
necessary will run special trains. The
Chicago & Northwestern and the Chi
caco. Milwaukee & st. Paul railroads
will run trains from the city to the
grounds every fifteen CT thirty min
utes, so that people arriving at Mil
waukee at almost any hour of the day
will be able to find transportation to
the grounds without having TO wait
any great length OF time.
Amongst exhibitors Of horses, Can't.
/ Fred Pabs has spoken for thirty stalls
and will be on the grounds with a
splendid lot of draft and coach horses;
the Galbraith Bros, of GAINESVILLE, will
be well represented; Mr.. Briggs, OF
Elkhorn. will make his usual fine dis
play of imported and home-bred Per
cherons, and a. II. IIartwig Il Co,
who were awarded the champion prize
last wear for the best coach horse on
the grounds, will have great lot for
ward These and many others will
combine 10 make the exhibit of horses
a memorable one. The Cattle Glasses
will as usual be very full and specta
tors will have chance this year to see
the famous Galloway show herd be-
| longing to the Brookside Farm Co +, of
| Fort Wavne, Ind. This is acknow-
| lodged TO be the best herd of GallOways
| in the world. Messrs. Geo. Allen &
Sons, OF .Allerton, Ill, Mr.. \. Q. Fox,
! of WoolSide Farm, Mr.. J. c. Payne,
of Prairie du Sac, and many more Will
show sheep, and the rest of the classes
! Will be filled with animals from other
| equally famous flocks and herds. The
| Judging of British draft horses will be
done by Mr.. David Mckay, manager
| of the Broohside Farm above men
| toned; the French horses will be
passed on by MI y keiffer, of Bara-
| boo: the dairy breeds of cattle Will be
placed by III. a. Phillips and 1t is more
than likely that the judge who worked
on the beef herds last year will again
| be in the ring with them, which may
also be said of the gentleman who gave
so much satisfaction in his rulings
amongst the sheep in 1891.
There will. of course, be good racing

against the fiiers from other states
On Thursday and Friday there viii be
races on the track between trained
moose and elk, which are said by those
! who have seen them to be most inter

other states, who have made special
and address the crowd. Then gener-
al discussion will follow, in which
