In spite of the bad weather
which dampened the ardor of a
good many people who otherwise
would have taken in the eXcur-
sion to Glenwood from Grand
junction, about $50 people came.
The special arrived this morning
about II o'clock and was unde,
the supervision of c. III. Speers,
general passenger agent of the
Midland, r. f. Vickery, local
agent at Grand Junction and f..
a. Sherman of the News. They
They We're accompanied by the
Indian band of twenty pieces
from the Indian school at Grand
Junction. The train was met on
its arrival here by a committee
from the Woodman lodge ol'
Glenwood, who escorted them to
their hall.
The object of the trip here is to
arouse an interest in the big log
rolling of the Woodmen to be
held at Grand Junction on May
Z. 1t is the intention of the
Grand Junction lodge to make u
series of these trips all over this
western country for this purpose
Accompanying the Woodmen
was the Mesa Vaudeville and
Dramatic troupe composed of 20
people, who will appear tonight
at the opera house in high class
performance which, according to
reports, is so full of fun and
laughter that those who have
weak sides had better brace them
selves in some manner before
they go. From all indications
there will be large attendance
On account of the. snow the
baseball game that was sched-
uled between the high school
teams of Glenwood and Grand
Junction for this afternoon
had to be called off, to the
great disappointment of large
number of people.
While there was no regular
program arranged for this after
noon, large number of the visit
ors made use of the pool or spent
the time in seeing the sights of
the town. On every side the gla;l
hand was extended by the Glen
woodites. and the visitors are
loud in their praise of the hospl-
tality shown them.
The Hotel Glenwood was the
scene of a merry crowd at noon
today when the people composing
the dramatic troupe took lunch
there. They were all at one ia
BILE and after enjoying the meal
made the room ring with songs
and laughter. Several persons
were called upon for speeches and
just before leaving the table three
cheers were given for C. II.
Speers of the Midland railroad.

Saturday evening the people OF
Glenwood Springs had an oppor-
tunity of witnessing as fine an
amateur performance as has ap-
peared in GlenwOod when the
minstrel and vaudeville show was
put on by the people from Grand
Junction. All the members of the
company acquitted themselves in
an exceedingly creditable man
ner and at no time did any of
hem seem to be affected with
"stage fright" which can not al
ways be said of amateur perforn-
ers.
The opening scene showed the
entire company on the stage, and
on the ends were the customary
end and bones men. The first
part was taken up with lot Of
good jokes and songs. Several
jokes were sprung on some of our
prominent citizens which were
greatly enjoyed by the audience
One thing that made a hit was
a poem entitled "Glenwood's Flu.
ture," which is found elsewhere
in this paper.
Following this scene came lot
of specialties consisting Of songs
taken from various operas. Each
was well rendered and showed
that much time had been spent in
preparation. They were all so
good that it is impossible to pick
out any one as being the best and
that they were all enjoyed was
shown by the fact that nearly ev-
eryone was obliged to respond to
