EXHIBITION OF 1869. 
/ 
The exhibition of 1869 was held on the beautiful grounds 
of the Madison Driving Park Association—the same with those 
occupied in 1858, 1860, 1867 and 1868. Additional improve¬ 
ments had made them more attracttve than ever; so that it ' 
was not without good show of reason that they were re¬ 
peatedly pronounced by the many visitors from abroad the 
handsomest fair grounds in the United States. 
As usual, Monday and Tuesday were devoted to getting 
articles and animals in place, and making everything as 
thoroughly ready as possible, although the afternoon of Tues¬ 
day, was made interesting by a fine display of horses on the 
track 
On Tuesday evening, according to the special programme of 
he fair, 
THK AN^’UAL MEETING OF THE STATE WOOL GEOWEES’ ASSO¬ 
CIATION 
Was held in the senate chamber. There was not a large num¬ 
ber present The meeting was called to order by the presi¬ 
dent, Eli Stilson, Esq., of Oshkosh, who made a few remarks 
in reference to the depressed condition of wool-growing, which 
prevented that interest being felt in, and attendance at, this 
meeting, which would otherwise have been the case, but ex¬ 
pressing the hope that there was a good time coming, and ad¬ 
vising the maintenance of the organization and all possible 
efforts to improve in wool growing. R S. Grraves was chosen 
secretary •pro tempore. The following officers were elected for 
the ensuing year:
