WISCONSIN STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY 
At eleven o’clock, the annual addresses were delivered, from 
a platform in front of Power Hall, by Governor Lucius Fair- 
child, Ex-Senator James R Doolittle, Hon. E. D. Holton, and 
Hon. Samuel Fallows, Superintendent of Public Instruction. 
They were brief, instructive and entertaining, and were well 
received. [See reports of the speeches under the general 
beading “annual addresses.”] 
Special accounts of each of the several departments of , 
the exhibition will be found in the “reports of superin¬ 
tendents ;” the results of the competition in the several classes^ 
under the head of “ reports of committees on awards and 
premiums.” 
The receipts of the fair amounted to some $18,000, which 
added to the balance on hand at the beginning of the year 
would swell the total receipts to $27,747.48. 
While, therefore, the result was several thousand dollars less 
than it was hoped would be realized and but for the bad weath¬ 
er undoubtedly would have been realized, it was not so bad as 
J t might have been—especially as the society was enabled to 
pay all the premiums awarded, and all other claims of every 
sort, including over $3,000 on real estate, etc., and yet have a 
comfortable balance on hand, at the end of the fiscal year, of 
$5,954.00.
