with much enthusiasm the birthday an
niversary of Abraham Lincoln. the SIX
teenth President of the United States,
with IA banquet and entertainment at
Smiths hall last Saturday night. The
affair was largely attended and was
splendid success in every respect. The
gathering was the largest ever held by
the colored people of Fremont county
under one roof, and was notable Tor
the enjoyment it afforded the ceis
brants. The music was furnished by
Messrs Tyler and French of Pueblo,
and they received many compliments
on the excellence of their work.
The hall was decorated in color
scheme of brown, white and red, ana
presented a very pretty appearance.
Cut flowers were used for the adorn-
ment of the banquet table, and added
much to its beauty. The guests were
seated at the table promptly at
o'clock, and splendid menu was
served.
Fine addresses were delivered ny

Olive Baptist Church John Adams OF
Pueblo and others. Ben Parham gave
an interesting talk on the topics of the

amusement and laughter They were
very comicaI i'm their use of the trays
while waiting on the table and inspired
no end of fun i'm their efforts to keep
time with the music.
At o 80 O'Clock Charles Nj. Bruton
made IL record run to the railroad sta
ton to meet the Hon. John Adams OF
Pueblo, who arrived on the Rio Grande
No. 3, and was rushed to the hall. In
less than ten minutes after the train
had reached here the assemblage was
listening TO him deliver one of the best
addresses ever heard by the colored
people of this city. Mr.. Adams is an
orator of high rank, and he was given
the utmost attention from beginning
to the end of his address. He spoke on
Lincoln. and reviewed with great elo-
duence his career from his birth to his
assassination. He literally captured
his audience by the beauty of his
speech and was. at times, forced to
stop on account of the applause which
if inspired. The applause testified in
the most emphatic manner to the en-
joyment of his talk.
The coolred people of the community
desire TO thank all of those who as
sisted in making the event so success
fuI The managers of the affair pro-
nounce il one of the most delightful of
the character ever given here, despite
the efforts of certain of their hammer
manipulatOrs and stone-throwers.-
