IL EXCURSION.
A Large Number OF Visitors Who are
Highly Pleased With the civ.

The Denver train yesterday afternoon
brought with it eIGhty-one excursionists
bound for Cheyenne The party was not
as large as was expected. but compar-
atively little work was done, and that
only within the past few days. The ex-
cursionists were accompanied by V. Fl.
Miller, A. r. Whitley and II. X. Ing.
ham, who have been in Denver working
up the excursion.
The excursionists. the Greedy Odd
Fellows and The Little Tycoon company,
all got off the train at once and made
quite a crowd at the depot.
Tie Denver people were met at the
train by a delegation of the real estate
men and shown the most important parts
of the town. The shops wer, thrown
open for their inspection and were
~thronged with visitors all the day.
Mr.. Whitney, who is interested in the
proposed electric line was much pleased
with the city. He thinks the deal will
soon be contaminated and the road at once
built. Mr.. Whitney is with the Chamber.
lain Investment company Of Denver.
The eIculsionists left here with a good
idea OF the city aud in fact were much
surprised at the size OF the city and the
beauty OF the buildings.
While no town lots were sold, as a re.
suit Of the excursion, it was a good adver.
tisement for the city as it is a means Of
letting people know what we have here

Dancing and Refreshments.


Following the competitive drill, which
was highly enjoyed by the immense crowd
of visitors, The floor was cleared for dane
ing. The hall was brilliantly decorated
and lighted and the mingling of the hand
some uniforms of the ~chevaliers. the
dress suits Of dancing Young men and the
rich and becoming dresses of the ladies
made as pretty a picture as one could we'll
wish to see. The order of dances was as
follows: Grand march. 72nd ann iversary;
waltz, Gen. John G. Underwood; quad
rifle, Canton No. l; schottische, Canton,
Greeley No. 6; %lancers, Canton, Cheyenne
No. l; POudre Valley No. IL.
An intermission In the dance program
of several hours was devoted to refresh
ments. So perfect were the acconmoda-
tons that the immense number of visit
ors we're provided with supper without
disorder, crowdinG or inconvenience. Ia
bles for $50 people were set at Library
Hall and we're twice filed with banquet
ers.
The dining room was handsomely dec
GRATED. An immense flag covered the
entire length of the hall. On the walls
and from the ceiling were suspended flags,
bunting and emblems of the order. Three
tables extended the full length of the
hall and the alcove contained shorter
tables.
1t was the intention of the managers to
have a number of speeches and toasts but
the lateness of the hour and the larger
attendance than was expected resulted il
the wise decision to devote the entire
time to the discussion of the excellent
menu provided by Mr.. John Chase of the
Inter Ocean, whose agile corps of waiter:

The competitive drill for a prize of 800
was held at Keefe hall and was witnessed
by a large number OF spectators.
DR.. Wyman delivered a speech of well
come to the visiting brothers Of the l. o.
o. f. He spoke of their meeting one
year ago at Laramie. upon the list ami
versary of the order, and it was at that
city that the first cantonment was held in
Wyoming, and he hoped to see many more
held here in the state. He spoke of the
wonderful growth of the order throughout
the United States and congratulated them
upon the benevolent branch, which was
the main object OF the order.
After DR.. Wyman's speech the bugle
call brought the two cantons of Laramie
and CHEYENNE in line, making an i'm
posing appearance in their handsome
uniforms. The drill was for points, and
alter they had drilled the schedule each
canton was at liberty to give an exhibit
ton drill

The judges On the drill we're Lieut.
Durtee, of Fort Russell; Gen. Sitter and
Mr.. Otto Gramn. of Laramie.
The judges rendered the following de.
cision: We, the undersigned judges
selected for the competitive drills of the
Cheyenne and Laramie CITY cantons, sub
init the following report:
In regard to inspection the two cautons
art equaii III reRaTu 10 urllli the errors
committed by both cantons are about
evenly balanced. The Cheyenne canton
is superior in precision of movement, and
its movements were executed more nearly
in accordance with the requirements of
military tactics; both captains violated the
rules in regard to prompting each other
during the progress OF the drill. Your
committee therefore decide that the first
prize should be awarded to the Cheyenne
canton, and the second prize to the
Laramie City canton"
The Laramie City canton was excep-
t~ioually we'll drilled on the schedule, but
did not give the exhibition drill of the
CHEYENNE canton.

The Little Tycoon is one of the bast

operas which have been before play-goers

loses none of its beauty or elements of
pleasure-giving by repetition.
The first act was given last night with
a vim and spirit Thoroughly appreciated BY

seemed to grow l~istless and was not as

The procession was ADVERTISED to leave
the hall at 2 O'Clock in the afternoon.
Just previous to that time a pair of eau
mons had been stationed in the vacant
space opposite Keefe hall. At an ap-
pointed signal they opened fire, and dur
ing the course of the parade 100 shots
were fred. shaking up the town in good
shape.
The procession moved promptly over
a line of march through the principal
business and some residence streets Of
the city. 1t was indeed a very handsome
affair. The marching was particularly
good, while the extremely handsome
uniforms Of the Patriarchs Militant and
the gala regalia of the lodges gave a
snowy appearance to the parade that
added very much to the general effect.

In discussions and articles on "The
Choice of a Profession" two of the
most lucrative professions OF all have
generally been forgotten. These are
the professions of q jockey and strong
man." At festive meeting, viz, the
annual dinner of the Jimcrack club, a
former steward of the Jockey club said !:
Ceases now exist where a jockey ro-
ceives u salary equal to that of a secre-
tary of state, and jockeys even of the
second rank receive, l think, payments
which place them in q position, from a
financial point of view, considerably
ahead, l may say, of the bulk Of their
employers"
Besides these salaries (or retainers,
as they are called the jockeys receive
the authorized and regular riding fees,
and it is no exaggeration to say that at
the present moment at least half a doz-
en- of them are earning, in connection
with their riding, in the shape of retain
ers, riding fees and presents, &5, 600 a
year apiece, and in one or two cases
even more.
With reference to the earnings of
''strong men," Sandow is reported to
have said, in connection with the con-
test in which he took part Wednesday,
that by his defeat he lost more than
"a, 900, the savings of only two years.
If these two statements are facts, and
there is no reason to doubt that they
are, we need not wonder at the large
number of would-be 'strong men" and

Sewing at dawn and sewing at dark,
Victim of greed, of merciless shark,
Sewing for life;
Hoping for happiness never to be,
Signing for pleasure she never may see,
In earthly strife.
Sewing and working that Others may play,
Sewing in sadness while Others are gay.
Sewing in dread
Straining her muscles and spelling her eyes,
Sewing and stitching till ev'ry hope dies,
Sewing for bread.
Sewing in hunger and shivring with cold,
Sewing in want while Others have gold,
Sewing for breath;
Working for wages unworthy the name,
Bending DER work that should manhood

Sewing her death.
Sewing in sunshine with life in a cloud
Sewing so humbly for gain to the proud,
Life comes to Il close.
A pitiful fate with poverty cursed;
OH sorrOwful heart, quite ready to burst
With poverty's woes.
Sewing no more at last she's at rest
Fold her thin hands DER her tired breast,
Sewing is blest;
Pearly gates Open-glad her SURPRISE
Vistas of loveiness ravish tired eyes,

At the moment Custer was drawing to-
ward this very spot with the Seventh Mich
igan, and seeing the emergency he hastily
formed the regiment in close columns and
advanced to meet the Virginians. The
latter were already between two fires, the
Fifth Michigan and First New Jersey hav-
ing deployed parallel to the route of march
of the enemy and opened upon them. Gus
ter swept on with the Seventh until he
found his way barred by n stone fence.
Across this barrier his men opened with
carbines, and the Confederates gallantly
faced the music, forced their way to the
opposite side of the wall, and returned the
fire with pistols. The battle waged for
some time at arms length, but the Confed
crates were quickly REINFORCED, and Gus
ter had to give ground, followed by the
Virginians. The COnfederates were at last
over half way across the open space, but
they were drawing nearer to Gregg'S can
non at every step, and were made to suffer
terribly for their boldness. They were in
fact, running a gantlet of fire on both
sides and facing fire on the front, some
thing human. nature cannot endure for
ever, and at last they had to give it up and
retire Thus far the fighting had been
only a byplay on the part of the Confeder-
ates. Stuart intended to occupy my at
tention here with only one of his brigades,"
said Gregg t. the Count of Paris as the
battlefield tourists stood in the center of
the open ground where Custer met the
Virginians "With his main column he
hoped to slip unobserved between me and
our army at Gettysburg and get into our
rear"
But Gregg's men fought too hard to be
triGed with, and regiment after regiment
of Stuart's was drawn to the scene. BY
the time the First Virginia retired before
the scorching fire that received it, far down
the field the three brigades of Wade Hamp-
ton and the two Lees were in the vicinity.
A curtain of woods skirted the Confeder-
ate end of the long, narrow field. The
Union end was an open farm region, and
on one side there was wood the whole
distance of the Union position, and on the
other sheltering crest along a stream. To
disIodge Gregg from the wood ON one side
and the ridge on the other, while his bat
teries stood at the end of the space raking
the ground between, was too hard a task
for Stuart to think of. Yet q quick ride
down that open ground into the batteries
might carry Gregg's key position and ruin
his line
Scarcely had the Virginia regiment quit
the field when mass of their fellows, sew
eral regiments in all, moved out in splen-
did order from the woods, and started to
repeat the march of the vanguard Just de-

IeaJed. They moved IN close column In
full view of their opponents, and marched
as calmly and as proudly as on q parade
Their sword blades shOne in the high sum-
mer sun, their horses moved neck and neck,
and like a small avalanche of warrors the
body rolled resistlCssIy on across the open
space between the thin Union lines that
still clung to the ridge and to the wood
on either side. Gregg saw what was upon
him; Custer saw it; every man on the field
saw it. A thunderbolt of war was coming
and must be met. Here and there picket
Or dismounted man cut Off from his COM
pany rushed to the nearest body of his
friends, gripped his weapon tighter and
prepared to be one of Il host to meet the
onslaught. Aids dashed to and fro, pick
ing up squads and detachments and form
ing irregular bands. McIntOsh's brigade
was divided, part on one side Of the lane
like space, part upon the other. The
Third Pennsylvania regiment had two
squadrons on the ridge on the left and two
in the wood nearly opposite, the enemy
marching between. Clusters men were
along the ridge by the stream and at the
end of the field, facing the advancing
enemy. The First Michigan stood in close
column behind the batteries, and Gregg at
once ordered it to charge. Custer dashed
up at the moment, fresh from his late bat
tie, at the head of the Seventh and placed
himself in front of the First.
