Every day" would apply to Prescott:
only it should read. More Like Il City
/ Every Day" This thought occurred IL
me while standing on the main street
of Prescott last evening, watching the
procession of pedestrians and vehicles
go by From the Burke hotel to the
south end of the block the sidewalk
was SO crowded there was hardly room
for people to pass each other. Fancy
turnouts were whiZZing by on the
street. putting 4 person in mind of
some of the beautiful driveways in Los
/ Angeles. Two of the prettiest and most
stylish teams were those driven by
/ Pete Kastner, a we'll known lover of
horsefiesh. and I. G.. Norris. Mr.. Kast-
ner has owned his team for so long that
every one in the county knows it. and
stops to see it dash by. Pete loves to
take his personal friends out for spin
behind his team and never tires of tell
ing of the many rigs he has passed on
the road. The team driven by Mr.
Norris is as fine as any man would
care to own. The horses are trim

are travellers from the word go. and
seem real proud Of the fine buggy they
draw behind them. There was an in
cessant stream of ladies and gentlemen
out for promenade; stylish ladies and
gents they were. too. They would have
passed muster in any city in the uni
verse. Breaking the serenity of the &C
casion was the whistle of the merry
go-round on neighboring vacant lot.
Crowds We're awaiting themselves of the
opportunity of riding the Whirling
horses and carriages. A general feel
ing of prosperity pervaded the atmo-
sphere, and cCntentment was seen on
every passing face. Such is Prescott
on any evening in the spring and sum-

tives of the bride and groom and all
the people employed in the New York
