The annul picnic of the Master
Horseshoers' National Protective asso-
citation OF Dodge, Jefferson and Colum-
bia counties was held on the Fair
grounds at Juneau Saturday. August
Is, and despite the inclement weather
there was a large gathering Of black
smiths. Watertown was also well rep
resented. A general good time was
had by every one. The locals had the
best time of all, at least all were hap
py when they returned, After q
short discussion and several address
es from different representatives of the
surrounding cities H. A. Holdridge
made an address in regard to holding
the 1904 picnic in Watertown. I. was
brought to vote and our city was
successful. Our people are good en-.
tertainers and whom the day comes
next year they will be given a cordial
reception and the hospitality of the
locals will then be shown. Owing to
the ground being too soft the races
were omitted.
The horseshoeing contest between
Drake of Fort Atkinson and Bloomberg
of Hustisford resulted In tie.
A horse was shod on float in the
parade by different smiths. The
road was very rough but they demon
strated good and speedy work, fixing
the shoes on good and firm. Holm
stein Bros. of Horizon showed their
skill as turner's of horseshoes.
They had splendid time but when
they visit our city in 1904 it will be
surpassed. Hurrah for the smiths Of
Watertown.

in all New England states and I look
in vain for the person who does not be-
lieve in them"
Following the addresses the after
noon and evening were taken up by
games and other amusements, Re-
freshments of all kinds were served
at the island and Ohm Bros. again
demonstrated their right to the repu-
tation as frst-class entaertiners.
The occasion was enlivened by the
concert music given by Bach's band,
both afternoon and evening. During
the afternoon may parties could be
seen traversing the city and looking
up old and familiar places as well as
to examine the points of improvement
which have been added to the city
since these visitors were numbered
among the population. The majority
of the people left for home on the II
o'clock train, although some started
earlier and others remained over to
visit with friends during the week.
TO sum it up the day was a success
in every detail. It was quiet, happy
gathering and was simply as light indi-
cation of what the future gatherings
OF this organization will be. The sue
cess and pleasure of the day was due
in a large measure to the officers of
the club and to the local arrangements
committee OF this city, all of whom
worked hard to make things pleasant
for one and all. Success marks the
history of this, Watertown's first homo
coming day. and may future occasions
be the same happy times as Sunday,
Aug. 16, 1908, which will ever be a
welcome remembrance of both present
and former citizens of Watertown.

tailed information the report of the IL
brarian is hereto annexed and made

RECOMMENDATIONS
For the support of the library it is
recommended that your honorable
body levy the same amount of tax as
last year. viz, $500, this amount be-
ing necessary to dsfray the running ex-
penses of the library.
The balance on hand in the book
fund will be sufficient for the purchase
OF books and periodicals during the en-
suing year, but that in the future the
moneys required for the full support 1
the library may not become burden
some to our taxpayers by requiring too
large sum at once we recommend
that an additional sum of $500 be lev
led this year to be placed to the credit
of the Book Fund" aud in this way
it is expected that the book fund may
alway have sufficient funds on hand to
purchase new and necessary books as
required.
