full Gathering.

at huusOn yesterday. In point OF numbers
was the largest gathering of Wisconsin quill
drivers and pencil sharpeners ever held during
the quarter of century since the organization
of the association, and to newspaper mar
from another state it looked as though it wal
one of the most enjoyable. Certainly If they die
not enjoy themselves it was moi
the fault of the big hearted citizens of Hnd-
son, who left nothing undone to minister ia
the pleasure and comfort of their guests
They were received with open arms and
while there they were emphatically the guests
OF the city of Hudson, with all that term i'm
plies. Every house was open to receive them
and it seemed as IL every purse was also open
TO aid in their entertainment. Carriages were
ready to receive them upon the arrival OF
every train, and were at their dis ,)osal
throughout the day TO drive about the city.
Not only. the hotels but private houses pro.
vided all that was necessary for sustenance
and rest. In brief the distinguished party
were made to feel at homewithout a cent OF
expense.
The party is accompanied by the Bower City
band OF Evansville which will 20 with them
during their excursion. This is one of the
best bands in Wisconsin and is composed OF
twenty pieces.
The convention met In the Opera house at
10 a. m. and was called to order by Hon. Sam
uel Fifeld, president of the association, W hen
prayer was offered by the Rev. Angus Nc
Kenna, chaplain of the association.
