date of the next big event in Edgerton,
which is the annual picnic of the T. A.

prospects are now assured of better races
than ever before. a big field of horses
are surely coming. Our merchants are
also contributing literally to the prizes
to be contested for and the program of
games will be an interesting one. The
society aims to make the picnic larger
and better than on former occasions and
we believe they will do so, though some
big crowds have been heretofore. Watch
out for the posters and keep in mind the
