SaIuting Guns And a Grand
Ball And Supper in the
EVGnInO,

Evening.
Since Carson became the Capital of Ne
Vada, she never had such a celebration as
was witnessed in this city on Wednes-
day last. The suggestion IN the APPEAL
of Sunday morning that the Nevada vol
unteerS be honOred with a demonstration
n the Manila victory be celebrated,
was not by any means a new idea. 1t
had been in everybOdy's mind for several
days and needed but a hint i'm some pub
lie way to set the town ablaze as if one
had dropped a spark into a powder
magazine.
The pent up patriotism was there and
only needed something to explode it.
The matter was at once taken up by the
Carson City Improvement Club and
managed through the Clubs Executive
Committee. Tie time was so short that
many held that the event could not be
successfully pulled off by Wednesday,
but the details of furnishing the supper
was placed in the hands Of the WOman's
Relief Corps and th~,r at once wheeled
the other WOman'S organizations into
NHNf 'N'I''Ii'i'N / az
alacrity which aetonished everybody.
Under the intelligent arrangement of
the Relief Corps and the aid extended by
their sister organizations, the affair was
made a success that entities the women
of Carson to congratulations they are re-
ceiving from all sides.
The day was a delightful one and in
the afternoon during The exercises it was
cool and cloudy, an ideal day IN every
respect for such an occasion. The city
was IA mass of bunting and patriotic
colors from enc to end.

ring martial music and the Marshal and
his staff mounted on their prancing
horses were salutcd by the ladies and the
pretty girls with feminine cheers and the
waving Of handkerchief, until some
seemed in danger of falling off their
horses with delight. All the different
organizations We. e cheered as thew went
down the str"9t, but of course the heft of
the demo ,.ralionS went to the gallant
volunteers.
The most original feature of the parade
was sam Longabaugh's naval display
from Empire. He had two ships rigced
up from his little seaport town r.pre-
sentIng the Baltimore and Olympia.
