Fine Impression

Colorado boys Reproduce Their Ex-
bibition Tactics Before Large
And Enthusiastic Audience.

Last evening visitors to saltair we've
treated to an exhibition drill on tho
part of the champion Pythlan drdl
team OF the United States. Despite the
slippery floor Of the big dancing pa
vilion the eyolutions were as near PEI
feet as possible and the men moved
as one machine. II was essentially We
tor day at saltair, and Victor company
No. s Of the uniformed rank, Knights
o. Pythlas, of Victor, Colo, did them
selves proud
The men marched like veterans and
reproduced In every detail the drill
that won them the 1880 prize captured
from the crack eastern teams that have
held the record for so long, That the
men were out after the prize and viii
Ing to sacrifice anthing In the endeaVor
was demonstrated by their action on
the coast where they one and all walk
ed up to the BARRIERS chair and sacrl-
feed their moustaches like Tr0Jans.
When they return home II Is anticipat-
ed that their wives and fiances Will for
give them for the dastardly deed when
the fact that they captured the covet-
I'd prize Is brought into consideration,
Had they failed 10 capture the prize
and returned shorn of their most cher
ished adornments the upheaval in Vic
tor social sircles would undoubtedly be
an awful thing to contemplate.

evening was from the United States

in the entire drill. The whole company
