by her friends here. Although the cele-
bration was impromptu it developed into
the most spectacular affair OF the cam
paign and what, with torches, anvil
battery, and the music of two bands, the
town was right in IT last night and the
people too. II there we're any Anaconda
sympathisers around. they succeeded
in burying their disappointment and
joined in the general jolIity that pre-
vailed. After the parade which was

more was spent in listening TO ten min
