unnecessary, unkind. uncalled for and
useless.

If the Grand Junction band had
condesceuded to play more frequently
while marching in the parade this
morning the band would have receiv-
ed more decided ovation than they
did receive. Most people prefer to
hear band play than to simply watch
1t march by in dignified silence.
The banks were closed today after
ness houses and offices were closed
this afternoon.
After the disbandmen of the pa
rade at the high school grounds this
morning several musical selections
were given which were hugely appre-
ciated. The mandolin selection Am
erica" by the Teller Institute girls re-
ceived much applause as did the sing
ing of the same hymn by the. Ladies
of the G. A. r.
At the corner of Fourth and Main,
shortly after the parade had disband-
ed, moving pictures were taken of the
marching G. A. r. veterans and sew
eral of the best floats as well as the
Indian cadets and band.
The street car men have had to
fight their way almost the entire day.
During the parade the line was so
blocked at Tenth and Rood that all
three cars were obliged to return
going west on Main street.
The Sentinel was complimen.ed
with senenade from the drum corps
of the Grand Army of the Republic
thereby. If there is anything that
appeals to us it is the strains of the
old marches used during the Civil
conflict.

ty National bank did a very happy

ciated the drink thoroughly and the
