CANON CITY CLUBS
FIRST RECEPTION
Invited Quests were Entertained by
Members of The Canon City
Club Tuesday Night.
sixth aud Main

GageO by the highest standard, the
reception given by the Canon City
Club Tuesday night was a most graft
flying success. This was the first
public function of the club, and the
careful manner in which the members
looked after the comfort and pleasure
of their guests proved them not only
veteran club men, but versatile enter
tainers as we'll.
The guests were met at the head
of the stairs by the reception COM
mittee, which escorted them to the
cloak rooms, where wraps were laid
aside. They were then escorted
through the elegantly furnished and
appointed club rooms. In the room
used as buffet, were two tables, one
being presided over by Mr.. c. I. Reed,
who pinned rose upon the dress OF
each lady as she passed, her gentle
man escort receiving a white carna-
ton; the other table was in charge
of Miss Tina Penney and Miss Vic
toria Rudolph. Two punch bowls
filled with the most delicious fruit
punch, were upon this table and the
guests were invited by these pleasing
and delightful young ladies' to quench
their thirst.
The rooms occupied by the club
number eight and are furnished in
the most artistic and comfortable
manner possible. Many expressions
of surprise and delight were heard
from the ladies as they viewed the
elegant carpets or the artistically ar
ranged paper on the walls, the rich
curtains and draperies, and the easy
Turkish furniture of the reception
room. 1t is indeed an ideal place to
spend an evening.
The music by the Symphony Man
dolin club was of high character,
and therefore, in keeping with the
rest of the reception.
Each member of the club tried to
out-do every other member in enter
tanning the guests and making them
feel at home, which is sure indica-
tion of good fellowship and cordiality.
Of Canon City people, some 300 or
400 were present, fifteen or twenty
from Florence, and Denver, Colorado
Springs, Pueblo ami Cripple Creek
were represented.
10 make the reception complete
success, Palmer's hall was secured
for the purpose of dancing. A great
number went from the club rooms to
the ball room, in fact, the capacity of
the ball room was hardly sufficient to
hold the number that congregated
there, but all were in happy frame
of mind and seemed to enjoy them
selves thoroughly. Music was furn-
ished by Florence talent, a violin
piano and cornet being the instru-
ments played, and made the very
best Of dance music.
AT late hour the guests dispersed
well pleased with the first reception
of the Canon City Club, and hoping,
at no distant date, to again be the
guests of the club.

Our Climate.

The annual summary for 1899 of
the Colorado section of the climate
and crop service of the weather
bureau has just been issued and con-
tains another years evidence Of the
superiority of Canon's climate over
that of the other famous health re-
sorts of this State.
Tho winter of 'SS and so was as
extremely cold as the present one of
'99 and 1900 has so far been delight
fully pleasant. The annual mean
temperature of the State for the
year 1899 was 44.So. That of Canon
was 53.1o, which, with the exception
of Lamar (53.4o), was the highest in
the State. The highest recorded at
Canon was 1902, while 106o was OBJ
served at Lamar on FIVE days in June,
August and September. The lowest
point reached at Canon was Ito be-
low zero on February 18th. On the
same day at Lamar it was 300 below
the greater heat of the summer at
Lamar bringing the average above
that of Canon. On this same date
the thermometer registered at Pueblo
27o below, at Colorado Springs 24o
below and at Greeley 45' below. The
last was the lowest recorded in the
State during the year.
The rainfall was but $50 inches
which was 2.12 less than the normal
amount, July and October being the
only months during which more than
l inch fell, while in May but IL inch
fell, or l.S1 inches less than the
normal amount. The number Of
rainy days was 60, the most of which
were in the summer months; The
total snow fall was 3l.5 inches.
The prevailing wind was from the
west. The greatest wind movement
in the State was observed at Colorado
Springs, with Denver next and Pueblo
third. The wind movement is NOT
recorded here but it is believed that
on account of the windward wall Of
mountains protecting the town it ID
much lese than that of Pueblo.
The number of clear days vss 2l7;
partly cloudy LOG and cloudy AZ.
The month of December was the
warmest in the State at Canon, as it
was in 1898. Up to the present
writing the coldest night we have
had this winter was that of January
18th when go was reached. In
December the low point was 10.
The present winter has been almost
an ideal one for the out door life
that is so necessary to the recovery
of the invAlids seeking health, there
having been but very few days that
it has not been comfortable to sit
out in the sun.
Each years record but adds an
other good report of Cahon's climate.
and it is only lack of knowledge of
these favorable conditions out side Of
the State that keeps many invalids
awsy from this valley.

portant as dress exhibition than the

raiment. The tournament bears the
same relation to spring styles that the
horse show does to those of autumn,
so hereafter we will anticipate the
"blue and brass" parades with addi-
tional interest.
Women appeared afternoon and ev-
ening in a beautiful gown cut in the
latest mode. They wore frocks of
wooden or foulard in the daytime and
at night were resplendent in demi
evening clothes. Black and white eff
fects were quite pronounced among
the new gowns, and there was no.
ticeable number of red frocks, both in
cloth and diaphanous materials. When
the latter kind, 1t was of the new
flame color so persistently introduced

trasting shades of the pastel order.

velvet ribbon gives substance to the
