a BIG SUCCESS.
Labor Day Brings an Immense Crowd
to Carson.


to Carson.
The general remarks of everyone
in Carson yesterday was the grand
success that labor day proved in this
city. Many of the home people did
not realize what the celebration
meant, and few figured that half the
crowd would be here that material;z-
ed. When the trains began to arrive
and the private conyeyances dumped
the people onto the streets, it look
ed a gala day indeed. and so it
proved.
DON almost to a man, as all of the
were well represented, while
many private parties took advantage
of the day and spent their time in the
surrounding meadows and out of the
way places where they could make
a picnic of the time and enjoy All
outing.
Reno certainly stood in on Labor
Day. She was represented in nearly
al the trades and the number Of men
that were in the long line was the
remark of all and goes to show the
progress of the sister town. The
wives and children accompanied in
many instances which helped swell
the crowd on the streets and make
a jolly day.
The parade itself was one of the
greatest features. The men in line
represented a score or more different
trades, and all of them carried them
selves erect and made fine body of
citizens, in fact the strength and
sinew of the commonwealth of Ne
vada was represented in the line of
men who marched the length of Car
son street. 1t was. not crowd II
cheers but the impression made will
be lasting. as the men were of the
husbandry and showed that they ar
intent in doing good by organiza-
ton.
Carson certainly responded in goo'i
style, as every business man helped
swell the fund that made the day a
success. The committee who ha l
charge of the work deserves praise
as there was not hitch in the line
from one end to the other and there
was not mistake made in regard to
.es<sertainment.
One of the commendable parts OF
the day was the emptiness of the Jail
There were but two arrests during
the entire day, and these were simp' '
from too much fire water. They &C.
turned on the late trains and again
the hotel Kinney is alone to the
echoes.
There was music and plenty of il
and the boys kept it going most OF
the day Reno, Virginia and this cit,
al furnished bands and they made
things lively from the time the pro
gram opened until the last train ha(
departed.
The program was carried out to tn,
and he surprising thing was tina
the parade moved on time, which lei
a number of people home, who ar
wondering how it all happened Tn
parade was one of the longest eve
shown in this city, and as the mel
in line was in double Ale some ide;
of the number may be judged. TIL
Carson Labor Union was among tn
smallest in line mad every union ma
in this city marched. Empire an
her union was in line and made
very creditable showing, Sheriff Xii
ney, who is a cherater member of tn
Empire organization was in line wit
the boys.
The Governor and staff formed
the procession and this lends a &c
tain charm to the day, as the ham
some horses and the riders in full r
gala never looked better.
After the procession all hands a
sembled at the Capitol park, whe.
cfses exercises of the day were held.
