Gregson's Springs.
THEY HAVE A PAT COMING
It Was q Happy Crowd and They All
Had q Grand Time-Barbers at
Basin-Clerks at Short
Line Park.

The Meagher Guards were a proud or
ganization when they returned to Butte
from Gregson Springs last night. Their
picnic was one of the successes of the
summer. in spite of the numerous coun-
ter attractions. The $500 promised did
not quite materialize. but the attend
ance was away in the hundreds, all the
same. The trains from Butte were
crowded, and the strings of carriages
and bicycles, both from Butte and Ana
conda, were a sight. The enjoyment of
the many natural attractions of the
| Springs, especially by the Butte people,
| was intense. They explored the green
and wooded foothills in groups; they
camped and lunched In the shadows OF
the big haystacks and the scent OF
the new-mown hay" tempted them to
sing ION the Banks of the Wabash
they kept the plunge so full Of humanity
that there was hardly room for water;
they danced in the fine new pavilion,
and the children, who were present in
swarms, were In e~cstasies of joy all day
long. No better dressed, happier, mer-
rier or more orderly picnic party was
ever seen in any mans country. Con
Hayes, proprietor of the Springs, rose 10
the occasion like a bird. He had plenty
of grub for everybody, plenty of bath
ing suits and plenty of cheer, especially
