LOTS Of noise AND AblG PARADE
THESE TW0 FEATURES OF THE FOURTH OF JULY CELEBRATION
WERE UNQUALIFlEDLY SUCCESSFUL
EXERCISES At THE AUDITORIUM DECLARED OFF - INDIAN
ri BRAVES WERE SLEEPING OFF A TRIBAL DRUNK,
HENCE THEIR ABSENCE.

Butte's observance of the natal day
was a big demonstration of enthusiasm,
even though the executive committee
found it necessary to and some of
the most important programmed events.
The weather, until about noon, was de-
lightful, and the parade was one of the
largest of its kind ever occurring in the
city. The committee a arranged for
the public exercises to be held on the
steps of the public library building, and
the officials and orators and bands re-
paired to the appointed place imme-
diately after the column had ~disbanded.
A large number of carriages had collect
ed in front of the library, and the din of
the wheels on the pavement was of such
volume that those on the platform could
not even heav themselves think, much
less speak, and after waiting for some
time in vain for the abatement of the
noise, President of the Day Bray decid-
ed not to hold the excuses.
The day was ushered in with the usual
fire cracker fusilade, which for that mat
ter began early last evening, continued
all night and increased in volume with
the arising of Young America. The
morning hours found the city gay in holi-
day attire and brilliant in coloring. Ban
ners and bunting We're displayed from
every point of vantage, the decorations
along thel line of march being particular
ly noticeable.
Considering the magnitude Of the pa
rade, there was but little delay in as
sembling and starting the column, and
the line of march was west on Park to
Alabama; thence north IN Alabama to
Granite; thence east OF Granite to Main;
south on Main to Broadway; thence east
on Broadway to Arizona: thence south
on Arizona to Park; hence west on Park
ito Washington, where it turned and
countermarched back to Main on Park
street; thence north on Main to Broad
way and west On Broadway to the Audi
torium.
