A response was to have beer given TO
Mr.. Clark's eloquent address, but owing
to the pouring rain IL was omitted, and
carriages were at once taken to the city.
Unfortunately not enough carriages had
been obtained to accommodate all. Where
500 were expected, 725 by actual count ar
rived. The greater numbers were most
welcome and the only regret was that ev-
cry vehicle In town had not been taken to
the depot. Three cars Of the motor line
were crowded, every vehicle carried a
double load and a long procession OF

while not far behind came the excellent
Bozeman band, which furnished music
that was greatly admired along the line.
There were ~seventy-five carriages in this
parade.

and little nosegays of the lovely flowers
of h Gallatin valley. No Grafton could
hav had such significance. The peo-
pie of Bozeman had brought their
products and had strewn them in the
streets of Butte. In some places the street
was covered with coal and grain. Flow
ers had been brought by the boxfull, and
proved most welcome to the residents of
the city where flowers never bloom.
The Butte Office OF the STANDARD is in
debted to the kind regard of Mrs. L. b.
Clifford and Mrs. j. A. Lafferty of Boze-
man for the gift of a beautiful bouquet of
Gallatin's choicest flowers.
When the guests reached Butte they
were hungry. They had left Bozeman at
3 O'Clock n had not arrived up town I'M
til $3.50 o'clock. At hat hour the head of
the procession drew up at the pavilion.
-Four rows of tables had been
laid the entire length Of the big hall.
There were places for 400 people and no
place in the city was large enough to ac-
commodate them all. The Bozeman APP
petite was pronounced worthy of due re-
spect and the more that was eaten the
happier grew the committee of entertain
ment. For two hours the interior of the
pavilion formed one OF the busiest scenes
known to history. When 400 had been
fed n filled, 400 more crowded TO their
places, a few Butte people eating with
these guests.
The collation. was pronounced salts
factory and ample in spite of the great
and unexpected demand. Ii was served
by A. q. koefier and consisted Of cold
beef, cold tongue, cold ham. boiled
salmon, lobster salad, potato salad, straw
berries, vanilla ice cream, coffee, tea,
milk, cake, fruit, kisses, angel food, nuts,
ETC., besides bread and biscuit.
When the hungry were all fed, there
was not a loaf of bread left i'm Butte that
could be bought for money. The
bread was exhausted when half
had eaten, and every loaf Of
bread in the bakeries Of Butte was pur-
chased. More than 200 Dawes were con-
sumed. Some of the Bozeman visitors
wen TO restaurants rather than wait, and
word was sent to all restaurants by the
committed that the bills would he settled
by the board of trade.
After the collation. the visitors divided
into small parties and saw the sights of
thet town, either underline escort of quickly
formed, but warm friends, or by them
selves. Some were taken to the mines
and given a faint idea of the nor
wealth in Butte's hills. Scores
enjoyed riding on the cable
Centerville, Walkerville and Meader-
Vile. Some visited the Columbia gardens.
A few risked a visit 20 the Comique. A
large party was shown through the court
house and county Jail by Tailor Cook. The
city hall. the pound and the p~ostoiiice
were all duly inspected.
Unfortunately there was no entertain
ment at the opera house tonight, but the
excursionists found plenty To please them
n occupy their minds and in the
crowded streets tonight were heard very
complimentary remarks Of Butte and its
resources. The excursionists made the
most of their time. enjoyed themselves
hugely and at IL 30 o'clock started on the
return trip, thoroughly tired, hut de-
lighted with the trip, their reception and
the entertainment.
For the success OF the day especial
credit is due Judge A. h. Barrett, the tire
less president of the Butte board OF trade
to chairman OF the reception committed
Mayor Walton. and the egenial chairman
OF the OF arrangements, II. ID
LeRgat, and also to the committees who
worked SO a~ssiduously under these gentle
men.
Late this evening the excursionist
passed the following resolutions and pre-
scented them to Judge Barrett:
