EXECUTIVE MEETINGS. 
State Agricultural Rooms, 
Madison, Oct. 14, 1859. 
The members of the Executive Committee present and in 
session during the State Fair of 1858, were as follows: 
J. F. Willard, A. D. Kirkpatrick, T. D. McCarty, H. M. 
Billings, A. E. Ray, David Williams, S. S. Daggett, Wm. R. 
Taylor, G. H. Williston, David Atwood and D. J. Powers. 
Evening sessions were held during the entire week; but the 
subjects considered had direct reference to the conduct of the 
Fair, and consequently no permanent record was kept. 
After the close of the Fair the Auditing Committee, Messrs. 
Willard, Powers and Atwood, settled and paid such accounts 
as had been presented previous to and during the Fair; the 
amounts and items of which may be found entered up to the 
credit account of the Treasurer, in the cash book of the Socie¬ 
ty. The Treasurer will also be found debited with the State 
appropriation for 1858, and all the moneys derived from the 
Fair; the bills and corresponding vouchers for all of which, 
will be found duly filed in this office. 
The Executive Committee, in session on the 10th of October, 
voted to award to A. E. Goodrich, of Chicago, a Gold Medal, 
worth fifty dollars, for his superior show of Oils at the Fair. 
Also, a similar one to Mr. Jones Patrick, of Chicago, for his 
Steam Exhaust Regulator. 
Also a Medal of equal value to W. II. Rarey, Esq., of Ohio 
for his extraordinary skill in the management of the horse.
