foolish virgin or worse.
The exercises began little before 2
o'clock. Probably never before in
history was there gathered together in
observance of Memorial day more
varied assemblage-never probably one
more picturesque. There We're ranchers
with their families, in all sorts of con-
veyances, rickety and swell There were
the smartly dressed people from the
towns. There were dashing cowboys
and daring cowsirls sitting astrde their
horses. Back of the palefaces were the
solemn somber faces of the Grow In
dians, some on horseback, some afoot
and in numbers quite equal to the
white. There We're the veterans of the
G.. A. R., there was company of rough
riders from Sheridan, there was COM
pany of police, there were the black
faces of a detachment of the 25th regi-
ment of the United States regular in
fantry, and there were the lads of the
Grow agency in their neat uniforms
Then there We're the gay uniforms of
the baseball players, there Were bi-
cyclists, and back of all and above all
We're the painted chiefs, gaudy with
feathers and color and loud with bells
and tinsel, impatient for their turn to
begin.
The setting of the scene was fitting to
the picturesqueness of the big audience
and the greatness of the occasion The
speakers stand, covered with a canopy,
had been placed about 200 yards to the
west Of the monument which marks the
site where Custer and his gallant band
further down towards the valley, on all
the hills and hillocks which lead up to
the hill on which stands the monument
appear among the grass and the wild
flowers the white stones which are the
sole testaments to the tragedy of June
23, 1876
To the west of the platform faced
by the audience, winds the beautiful
valley of the Little Big Horn, where
on that fateful day were massed the
hordes of murderous Sioux ready to

last stand. Now the rich green foliage

the eye can reach with the white wig

to the north CLEAN the red roofs of the

dark and lowering clouds, threatening
the rain which did not come, lent a
somberness to the scene.

dan and Billings bands We're present

excellent manner. The members of the
G. A. r. of the two towns, the rough

81, G. A. r. The prayer was offered
by Rev. j. E. Burgess. Patriotic songs
were well sung by the singing club of
Sheridan and Miss Inez Hanks of the
Crow agency recited Lincolns Gettys-
burg speech in an excellent manner.
The oration of the day was by w. F.
Sanders Of Helena, and the colonel
was fully equal to the occasion. His
penetrating voice was plainly heard to
the farthest limits of the crowd and
his eloquent sentences were vocifer-
ously applauded.
When the colonel began speaking the
wind blew almost a gale; it nearly
blew away the canopy which covered
the stand. 1t blew through the col
onel's serried Whiskers and the formid-
able typewriter pages of his manu-
script. One or two of the pages were
blown away, but were caught near the
outskirts of the crowd and restored to
the colonel. On accepting the recov-
cred pages the colonel created much
merriment by making very audibly the
remark, ''If any of the rest of my
speech blows away, don't bring it
back" The coloners very able ad-
dress was listened to very attentively
until nearly the close, when Big Chief
Gray Bird, growing impatient, mur-

beat the tom tom and led the way to
the dance ring. With all due respect
to the colonel, it must be acknowledged
that the dance took the bulk of the
crowd, and, if not the most intellec-
tual event of the day, it was certainly
the most popular with the visitors,
It was a dance worth seeing. The
Indians danced SO hard that they
danced the cOluds away, and the sun
came out in the latter part of the aft
ernoOn.
After the dance many eXcursionists
visited the schools, church and camps
of the agency, while others witnessed
the ball game between the Grow In
dians and a team from Sheridan, the
Colonel Sanders admitted tonight
that the Indians dance had somewhat
knocked him out, and he declared it
the finest he ever saw in numbers,
gaudiness of dress, wealth of feathers,
lavishness of paint and the endurance
and grace of the participants.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Custer Battlefield, by way of Bill
ings, May 30.-It seemed as if all South
ern Montana and all Eastern Wyoming
had gathered on this historic ground
to-day to observe the day set apart
to the memory of the country's hon
ored dead. While the great bulk of
people present came from the cities Of
Billings and Sheridan, yet the Burling-
ton train from Billings brought here,
with the people of Billings, people from
as far east as Miles City, as far west
as Butte and as far north as Helena.
With the special from the south came
Wyoming people from Sheridan, Ran
chester, Gillette and New Castle. The
train from the south was even heavier
than that from the north and, alto
gether, it is believed that between 1900
and 1,5O0 visitors were here to-day. Both
trains were late, but all the excursion
lists had nevertheless reached the battle
grounds several hours before the eXer-
cises began.
Although the clouds were dark and
there was rain wind the picnickers
opened their lunch baskets and ate
luncheon in hooks as secluded from the
wind as possible. Children played hide
and seek in the hollows among the hill
locks where less than a quarter of a
century ago red men and white men
played in deadly earnest the game of
life and death. Had the bloodthirsty
Sioux been lurking among the foothills
to-day. what an easy prey they could
have found among the picnickers armed
only with luncheon baskets and kodaks!
After luncheon the visitors wandered
among the hills where the white stones
marked the spots where American sol
diers had fallen and presumably the
already mutilated stones suffered fur
ther vandalism. The man, by the way,
who did not take with him ham sand
