reason that but few had been offered by the Society. They 
suggest a liberal increase in the list of premiums. 
The Equestrian Performance was eminently satisfactory to 
the committee. Mrs. Henry Crawford, of Waukesha, took the 
first premium on riding, and Mrs. W. J. Fox, of Waukesha, 
the first premium on driving. 
The Plowing Match was a failure for want of plows well 
adapted to the prairie soil. The committee suggest the selec¬ 
tion of green sward or a compact soil for the plowing in the 
future.

The report from this Society is very imperfect, showing but 
little of general public interest, in addition to the facts that 
the Annual Fair was held on the 22d and 23d days of Septem¬ 
ber, and that the amount necessary to secure the appropriation 
from the State was actually paid into the Treasury.

To the Secretary of the Wisconsin State Agricultural Society: 
Sir:—T he Fair of this Society for 1858, was held at Osh¬ 
kosh on the 24th and 25th days of September, and was as suc¬ 
cessful as could reasonably have been expected.
