ChOEc VI the 8occe9o1ul lAoOt
- Day celebration held in Denver
are being heard from many
sources. The Bulletin is in re-
ceipt of numerous letters from out-of-
town readers expressing their pleasure
At the handsome and interesting edition
of this paper issued In commemoration
of the event, and others state their de-
light at the account printed in last
weeks issue Of the record celebration.
Requests for copies of both editions have
completely exhausted the supply of pa.
pers kept at this office. This week the
Labor Day committee has been visiting
the various prize winning unions and
presenting the awards made by the eff
cient parade committee. Not word of
criticism has been heard of the work
done by the four daily newspaper rep
resentatives who performed the arduous
task of awarding the honors. The
nearest to this was the remark OF
delegate from the Garment Work
en' Union at the Trades Assembly
meeting last Sunday afternon when she
suggested that next year the Labor Day
committee compliment the judges with a
breakfast before the parade starts. The
judges awarded the float prize to the
Walters Union. II represented real
dinner being served by pretty union
mattresses. the viands being steaming
hot and the fragrant odor reaching 10
the reviewing stand. The Garment
Workers also had very handsome float
in the parade.
In an article printed in Sundays News
Bandmaster Frederick Neil Innis makes
reply to those who have criticised the
music rendered by the municipal band at
City park during the summer as being
"over the heads Of Denver people,
There werc perhaps few more regular
patrons of these concerts than the o. p.
and while our opinion as n technical
critic Of music wouldn't go far in a con-
vention of bandmasters, we can say that
the season has educated us 20 an appre-
citation of high-class music. fnnis is
right in his assertion that the 5000 TO
1900 people who attended these con
certs nightly want real music, and don't
care for ragtimes. fox trots or other
canned music freaks. And that the
pleasure OF hearing high class music is
not confined to Capitol Hill residents Is
testified 20 by Innes when he concludes
his very interesting article with; Il will
say that Dcnyer Is musicaIly ahead OF
any city in America, with the exception
possibly OF New York and Phoiladeiphia,
in the ability OF it, so-ealled common
people TO enjoy the best In music, for
nowhere else can be- seen audiences of
5000 and 10000 people listening with APP
probation and enjoyment to IL"
