THE SOLDIERS
RECEPTION
Belated Trains Caused Much
Disappointment.
DELAYED EVERYTHING
And MARRIED the Success of the Cele-
acknowledgements of Last
Night.
DELAYED EVERYTHING

Chairman Lee Mantle, of the executive
committee, places the responsibility for
the long and tiresone delay which mar
red the celebration, on the railroads to
which the contract for transporting the
troops was awarded. In regard to this
unfortunate delay he has given out the
following interviews:
Il know there is much disappointment
at the failure of the parade, but | think
there has been very unjust criticism in
regard to the committee. The blame is
due somewhat to the crowd itself, which
was too dense to handle; partly to the
weather, which was the worst that could
be imagined, and primarily it was due
to the railroad company Here is a rail-
road mpa that we made a contract
with two weeks g to bring the soldiers
here by a certain time, paying them the
money in advance. They left San Fran
cisco with "a hours leeway. They were
practically on time when they reached
Montana and We're nearly or time when
they reached Dillon. Yet here, with
20,000 people waiting in the cold, the
trains were kept waiting only six miles
from their destination. I do not know
what the trouble was ar what the Gus
for the delay. but it is certain that had
the railroad company fulfilled it's part
OF the agreement to get the men into
butte at 9:oO IN the NOR fl1S. there would
have been oceans of time for everything
and the entire programme could have
been carried out nicely and successfully
The senator went on to say that the
crowd was so great about the race track
pavilion that it required more than an
hour to seat the men. the banquet be-
ginning about 2 o'clock. Thousands of
people surrounded the pavilion, and af-
ter the banquet the soldiers mingled with
the croWda and became lost. It required
; an hour and a half to collect the troops
again and line them up for the speeches
and presentations. "The speeches were
supposed to be limited to five minutes
each,' said the senator, and under
the circumstances perhaps some of
them could have been omitted, but
presentation of medals could no
We'll take place without the speaking
PinninS the medals on the breasts of the
soldiers consumed a half hour
continuing The senator said that While
there We're many disappointments, the
medals of honor would be cherished
when the celebration was forgotten. 1t
was a great thing, he said for Butte to
have paid the fare of the volunteers from
San Francisco to Butte. and to have fed
them bounifully, and to have given them
such a splendid reception.
The senator said he wished to thank
those who had made the reception posi-
BILE by their contributions. he wished also
to thank the committemen who had la
bored zealously to make the affair a sue
cess, and above all he desired to thank
the ladies of Butte, who tramDed through
mud and snow to make their part of the
programme the success that it was.

PRESENTATION OF MEDALS.

When the time arrived for the pre-
sertation of the medals the day was
about spent. The crowd was 50 great
about the soldiers that it was necessary
for the police to clear ava a space in
front of the troops in order to make the
presentations. Then the various ladies
to whom had been assigned the pleasant
duty presenting the medals to the SOL
dicrs stepped in front of the troops and
performed this office. This ceremony re-
Quired about three quarters of an hOur.
1t was then quite dark and when the bu-
gle call was sounded for the formation
Of the column for the parade, many of
the soldiers and nearly all of the civic
organizations had left the track. The
parade was formed, however, and march
cd up town, but the men had become SO
d~isorganized by the long wait that many
fell out of line before the line of march
had been traversed, and the feature that
the people had waited patiently on the
streets all day was a disappointment.
Those who marched, however, We're
cheered all aloess the line.
About 1880 the evening parade was
formed north of the Arch of Triumph, on
Main street, and headed by the United
Commercial Travellers, for the time BE-
ing a nambeau club, marched through
the principal streets, shooting Roman
candles ard setting off fire works of all
descriptions. The display was a very
beautiful one.
