canve when compared with the big
smoker last night.
Never before in the life of the Aer-
lie have the boys had better or more
enjoyable time. The entire evening
and a good part of the morning was
one of pure and unadulterated fun, in
the words of the "speeler" for the
Coon Town 400"-'nothing be-
ing said or done to mar the feelings
of the most fastidious."
When Worthy President DIR. Alb
bott acting for and in behalf of Grand
Junction Aerie No. 595 extended to
the brothers of the Southern Carnival
company an invitation to come up
and have a good time with the home
boys and when the invitation was
graciously accepted on behalf of the
show boys by their genial advance
agent and prince of good fellows,
Bro. Ben Furguson they knew that
there would be something doing and
their fondest hopes and brightest ex-
pectations We're fully realized in the
splendid entertainment put on by the
Eagle members of the carnival COM
pany.
The fun began at about eleven o.
clock and kept up until an early hour
this morning and in fact II you will
scrutinize the countenances of many
of the boys this morning you will not
ice that a great many of them are
wearing the famous smile that you
have heard so much about in Denver
last week that refuses to be separat-
ed from the face.
The carnival band arrived on the
scene at little after eleven O'Clock
and started the ball to rolling. At
intervals during the evening they
discoursed the sweetest strains of
music which added very much to the
enjoyment of the occasion.
After happily Introducing the visit
ing brothers to the aerie. Bro. Abbott
turned over the chair to Mr.. Fergu-
son and If you think the latter gen
tleman didn't do the thing up in
style you ought to have been there
Bro. Ferguson had evidently been
there before.
DIR. Abbott said in introducing
the visitors that they had come over
to show the lodge some Stunts" and
they certainly did.
John Brainard knows more about
slight of hand performances than he
ever did before at least he knows four
bits worth. Lorenzo Hatch says
horse racing isn't as profitable as it
is cracked up to be especially when
| you have to pay a fine for winning a
race. It's a question in his mind
whether or not he hadn't better give
different instructions to his Jockey
next time.

line is hard to beat.
Mr.. Ferguson covered himself with
glory as story teller and made one

Mr.. Gus Myers, proprietor of the
carnival was introduced and made
pleasing talk.
The fun was waxing fast and fur

local celebrities and in their several
peculiarly happy styles Messrs Rhone

At one O'Clock a sumptuous repast
was served by the local aerie Mr.. II.

ably assisted by Fred Harris and
Frank Atchinkinson. As caterer

one of the more substantial features
of the bill of fare.
