Besides drum tEcy nave orass
horn and two guitara. They preach,
they sing, they talk One man with
a strong voice, poor grammar, and o
four-inch standing collar presents an
incongruous spectaclal calling sinners
to repentance. His own captain told
me that he of the dude collar was
drunk in den two nights since but
be is reclaimed now and offers FREQ
grace to all. Is it any wonder we
douhte and the crowd hesitates,
shake their heads and go of, without
salvation "to be damned" We 90
not like to quarrel with peoples at
tire, but if there is one piece Of male
apparel of the present day with which
we never can become reconciled it Is
that Internal, idiotic band of white,
from three and one-half to five inches
wide, buttoned around the neck and
known as the dudes collar. Why
will young men of sense-well, they
won't wear it, that's all.
Well we grow tired Of looking at
the constantly moving mass Of hui
manity and hearing the rattle of the
street cars, and go to Eighteenth and
GIenarm and find quiet little hotel
called the Boneventure, and go to
bed.
june 23, up early and at business.
Start at 9:2O for the North, and as
this Is Strawberry Day at Boulder it
is doubtful whether we can get much
further than there to-day. Sure
enough; here VIC are at the beautiful
town of Boulder that lies sheltered
right against the mountains, and is
the seat OF the State University. Our
train from Denver was composed Of
ten coaches all full, and it is safe to
say it contained 1000 people. The
train from the North this morning
unloaded several hundred, and two
more trains (specials) to come in yet
from Denver will increase the crowd
to throng. Bouldes has put on
holiday attire and Strawberry Day
seems to be a drawing card. There
are almost as many flies here as we
have mosquitoes in the Park. In
coming down from Cheyenne we
learned that hired help for making
hay is hard to get, aud prices de-
manded Is $500 for eight hours
work. If that rule prevails in the
Park it will be an embarrassment TO
our hay men. Our advice would be
to look out for your help in time.
Our Stay at Boulder was between
trains-from morning till evening.
Several thousand people were present
from different parts of the state; but
careful arrangements had been made
and ell were properly cared for.
Everyhody'sought pleasure in his OF
her own way until afternoon, when
the throng began to go up hill on the
short street car line to the Chatauqua
Grounds, where the great spread OF
strawberries, cake and cream was
waiting, ready to be charged upon
Ten long tables containing hundreds
of dishes of the delicious fruit, with
cake, cream, spoons and sugar await
ed the visitors, who fled in soldier
fashion along the standing spaces,
and after dispatohlng what was before
them filed out again and made room
for more. This was kept up more OF
less all day. Everything was in or,
der and everybody seemed satisfied
Strawberries? Well l should smile
The room was fragrant with them.
Their supply seemed inexhaustable,
and the visitors went away at least
partially filled with them.
And what beautiful sight one
gets from the grounds over Boulder
the valley, above and below, and
the range on the West, also the roll
ing hills and valleys beyond. A pic
ture that would thrill the soul of q
poet and make tho old pioneers hear,
leap with joy to gaze on the chaos OF
few years ago SO happily changed
to bright scenes and contented homes
of thousands Of our population who
constantly push the tide of empire
westward.
A splendid program Of music, vo.
cal and instrumental, was given in
the afternoon in the large auditorium
which is capable of seating 5000
people. Every seat was filed, while
other hundreds wandered around
The most taking music was that ron.
