A Pleasant Party

Saturday night, April 9th,
was an occasion for a very pleas
ant and lively time, when a host
of friends gathered at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. J. H. Cary in
1920. The guests arrived early
and decided dancing to be the
order of the evening. The spac-
ious parlor was cleared Of every
thing, not excepting the blast
burner, and the young and old
eagerly responded to the tune of
waltz, quadrille and twostep,
that was furnished by Messrs.
Charley Stephens, Joe Todd and
Fred Gendron. At midnight a
sumptuous lunch was served,
after which the fantastic toe"
was more lively.
Mesdames Chas. Cary, Andy
MCGEE, Brit Lish, Jeff Silverton,
Howard, Turnridge, Brushbill
and others forgot the number of
years they may bear, and in
dulged in the fun as though they
were back in their sixteenth
year, joining in every dance till
Old Sol peeped over the East
Rockies and bid them go home
to their duties. The host and
hostess, ably assisted by their
twin girls, Esther and Ruth, ac-
quilted themselves as royal en-
tertainers. Those present were:
Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. B. Cary,
Andy MCGEE, Elmer Turnridge,
Brit Lish and daughters, Howard
and daughter, Ora Dishmon, Jeff
Silverton, Mac Cray, Mesdames
Joe Mcdonald and daughters,

before the legislature and as l do not
know in what form 1t will be when it
comes to me if it does come, | will
not consent upon it at this time. 1t
is quite evident that the promoters at
Las Vegas believe that the fight will
be held, that it will be of financial
benefit to the city and will do no
lasting harm to the state.
81 did not go to Las Vegas to dis
cuss the prize fight proposition, al
though it did come up in the course
OF my visit there. The citizens of the
city met ne at the train and welcom-
ed me and l was pleased to meet
them. They have not asked me
whether l would or would not veto a
bill to regulate boxing contests. 1t
certainly would not be becoming in
me to comment on proposed legisla.
ton The matter is wholly in the
hands of the legislature at present
My viewpoint is the good of the state
which may or may not differ from my
own personal ideas of prize fighting
The governor predicted that it
would not be long before the people
OF Las Vegas would express them.

GOVERNOR At
LAS VEGAS
He Is Non-Committal as to
Pending Prizefight
Legislation
BUT GIVES PERSONAL VIEWS
| What Will Be Best for the State,
Will Be Deciding Factor
With Him.

"My personal attitude toward prize
fighting has not changed one iota,'
said Governor w. C. Mcdonald upon
his return from Las Vegas where on
Saturday he met and conferred with a
number of prominent citizens of the
Meadow City concerning the Johnson
Flynn fight.
The governors attitude toward
prize fighting was given out in an in
terview some weeks ago and appeared
in the New Mexican. At that time
the governor stated that he would use
every endeavor to stop the proposed
battle making use of any laws that
might be enforced to that end. 1T
still goes" Governor Mcdonald said.
ITO the ministers and others who
have severely condemned those who
are promoting the fight for Las
Vegas" the governor added, Il frank
ly pointed out the error of assuming
that all the citizens in favor of the
fight were hopelessly bad. further
advised that they appeal to the peo.
pie of the state from another and
more reasonable standpoint. To
neither of the factions interested did
l say what my attitude would be
toward legislation now pending.
