ONE OF THE EARLY FAIRS.
To those who remember the society in the heyday of its youth, the following account of the fair of 1858, given by Prof. J. W. Hoyt, will be read with interest :
The Walworth County Fair, at Elkhorn, likewise fell upon as pleasant days as it is within the power of sunshine and a charming locality to produce. The last day particularly, October 1, was the fairest of the fair. A somewhat intimate acquaintance with the enterprising officers of the society, together with assurances that Walworth was to be the banner county on fairs, had prepared us for a fine display, and the crowded trains from Beloit and Raeine gave evidence that every body was going to see whether the hopes of friends were not too sanguine. The village, when we arrived, was literally full of people. Brass bands, of which there were five in competition for premiums, were discoursing excellent music in different quarters, and several fire and military companies were parading up and down the streets to and from the depot with beautiful banners, keep- ing alive their own excitement, and kindling the enthusiasm of every man, woman and child within the cor- poratiou.
We were immediately conducted to the grounds, which we found ample, splendidly fitted up, and filled to overflowing. The area, of some twelve acres, was bordered with stalls and pens full of some as fine stock as we have seen in the State; implements of all sorts strewed the lawn, and a very large hall near the center of the grounds was absolutely stuffed with fruits of the earth, products of the dairy and household and works of art. Next year we hope this hall will be elongated about a hundred feet, so that articles may be better dis- played, and visitors may get about with more satisfaction.
Among the numerous articles worthy of mention, did space permit, we noticed fine premium specimens of wheat, raised by our friends, E. and F. Perkins, of Spring Prairie: excellent premium cheeses, from the dairy of Messrs. S. A. & A. H. Thurston, and beautiful bread and cake, made by Miss Louisa Preston, danghter of the efficient President.
The speaker's stand, a large square-covered platform erected in the center of the inclosure, was orna- mented with flags and appropriate mottoes, and surrounded with seats for the multitude, which, during the address and declaring of awards, thronged about to the number of five to ten thousand.
The riding and trotting came off in the afternoon, and were witnessed by some eight thousand delighted spectators. In the trotting-match, " David Hill." the same that afterward took the premium at the State Fair, won the prize.
Among the new features of this mammoth fair, there are several with which we were particularly pleased. First, the grounds are fitted up in particularly attractive style. Secondly, premiums were offered for many things not absolutely agricultural, but well calculated, by their essentiality to a true social life, to exert a refin- ing influence upon the too rigid and stoical farmer. We would not have the substantial products of the farm and workshop superseded by works of art, nor would we have the useful encouraged to the exclusion of the beautiful. The more the people of the town can be brought into contact with the real producers of the coun- try, and the people of the rural districts with the refinements of city life, without either forsaking their proper sphere, the better for both: the pale-faced. aristocratie dweller in the city will learn to respect and foster that noble, primal art upon which his own existence and the life and business of the world depend; and the sturdy, hardy-fisted old farmer will more fully appreciate the truth that it is not all of life-even the farmer's life-to produce fat calves and big potatoes, and plod like an ox from the cradle to the grave. Our advice, then. to all agricultural societies would be to make agriculture pre-eminent, but to avail themselves of those refining in- fluences which, while they heighten the immediate interest of public exhibitions, also promote the amenities of the farming life.
In addition to the five bands of music, already referred to, there was vocal music of a high order, as any of our readers, who heard the "Farmer's Home." by the Badger Club, at the State Fair, will be prepared to believe.

Thirdly, the premiums were chiefly preservable as mementoes, consisting of silver table-ware, and agri cultural books. Among the latter, the Wisconsin Farmer appears to have been popular, inasmuch as 212 copies of the bound volumes for 1856 and 1857 were awarded.
The fourth novel feature was the delivery of the books and silverware at the time of declaring the awards. When a prize is announced, it affords us pleasure to see the victor, and we think it a capital idea to call them upon the stand and let the people enjoy their modest blushes. On the occasion referred to, one young lady of thirteen years, Miss L. May Gardner, by a strange, good fortune, was called to the platform three successive times to receive prizes on best wheat bread, biscuit and worsted embroidery, each time modestly retiring amid the shouts of the multitude.
A CONTRAST -- THEN AND NOW.
The growth, both of the society and of the agricultural industries of the county, during the past thirty years, is shown in the following contrasted premium lists and other details of the first and last fairs held by the society.
