Its all over and one very satitfying
thought remains and that is that the
big three days celebration in Hot
Springs, July 3-4-5th, was the biggest
and best ever held in the Black Hills
and when this statement is made it is
done so advisedly for that was the uni
versal opinion expressed by hundreds
OF visitors to this CITY on the dates
above named. And giving all credit
where credit is justly due it is only fair
to say that Thos. Daily, who had
charge of the arrangements In securing
attractions and in getting the crowds
here as we'll as assisting in causing each
event to be pulled off on schedule time
during the celebration, was the prin.
Opal factor in the success of the 1915
celebration. AS publicity man he
has few equals and when it comes to
high class entertainment :he msjority
of people will say that the attractions
secured we're above the average a GOOD
many points.
Mr.. Daily 10 a former Newspaper
worker having covered many Of the
big cities suoh as Chicago, San Fran
cisco, Cincinnati and other big places
which accounts for the knack Of se-
curing big things thru proper publicity
methods. He is an artist in the placing
of legitimate advertising where 1t
counts, nothing wasted. Not only
does Daily secure the 2ttractians which
he promises but delivers the goods.
Hats off to Daily. He is there and
over.
However to modify our statement
somewhat we will also say that the Hot
Springs Fire Department me mbers with
their committees under the able di-
rection of Chief John Mueller we're the
ablest assistants any man could have in
entertaining crowd. j. @. Whaley as
marshall of the celebration was an
other of the energetic workers to
whom great deal Of praise should be
given for 1t is said of him as we'll as
Mr.. Daily that they worked twenty
four hours for day for three con-
secutive days. Too much praise osn-
not be given the gentlemen named for
their work as the event just passed will
stand out as red letter one in the
history of Hot Springs.
Saturday morning, July 3rd, started
With very threatening weather and it
was freely predicted that rain would
mar the days program. However only
light showers prevailed until about
noon when the sky cleared and from
that time on the weather man did yerv
