About fifty Of our people, including
the famous Silver Plume band, took ad
vantage of the cheap excursion rate and
spent the day in that city.
Did they have a good time? Well !
guess yes. The parade formed at the
Central City depot, headed by the band
and marched to Black Hawk, where the
celebration took place. In the afternoon
the annual meeting OF the Clear Creek
Valley Association was held, concluding
with an entertainment. The mayor de-
livered an eloquent address and extended
cordial welcome to the visitors. Mr..
