88 WISCONSIN AGEICULTUEE. 



Fowls of the latest style and name gave evidence tliat im- 

 provement is the motto in small as well as in greater matters. 



At 2 o'clock of the second day the Society was addressed by 

 the President, Capt. C. S. Hamilton, after which the awards 

 were declared by the Secretary, The address was cheering and 

 elevating ; one which reflects much credit on the sjDcaker, evin- 

 cing his interest in the two great pursuits that are the main 

 support of our Great Eepublic. After the address the multitude 

 dispersed for home in harmony and good feeling. 



The space allotted has not been ample for a complete descrip- 

 tion of the Fair, but suQice it to say that the farmers and me- 

 chanics of Fond du Lac county have had a great and joyful day 

 in the exchange of ideas, mutual good feeling, and social inter- 

 course. Blessed with a rich, deep soil, yielding a large return 

 for the capital invested, supplied with an abundance of springs 

 and streams of the purest water, a healthy locality, with the Fox 

 Kiver Improvement on the North, and the Rock River Valley 

 Union Railroad stretching through the State on the South, they 

 look forward with joyful anticipations to the time not far off 

 when she will be second to none of the counties of the State, 

 in agriculture, mechanics, and commerce. 



Yours very respectfully, 



John C. Bishop, Secretary.
