to be one Of the most pleasing and sue
cessful occasions in the history of the
city and the ladies of the club are GER
tainly entitled to the greatest praise
for their efforts which were appre-
ciated by hundreds Saturday. One of
the best things about the show was the
fact that everyone had an opportunity
to participate from the young people,
some mere babies, who took part in the
beautiful parade on Main street, to old
age, many who participated in the
general success of the affair and those
who had no part were we ii satisfied 20

truction. Then the attorneys were
