CARBON'S BAND
Continued from PAGE d

I
PIE were treated to what was perhaps
the finest rendition of popular and
musical selections ever heard in From
berg and they were loud in their
praises of the entertainment thus
given them by the Carbon County
] band
Bridger was reached at 2:40 and the
visiting musicians were greeted by a
fine crowd. Mr.. Abrahamson, the Off
eial spokesman, here told of the
glories of Roberts and the Roberts
neighborhood, in glowing terms and
congratulated the people of the Clarks
Fork valley on the prosperous little
cities. and tho aoat, happy, homes and
farms, for which it is justly noted. He
explained that while the Carbon Coun-
ty band had its headquarters at Rob-
erts, it was really the leading band
and in fact the only one of the entire
county and that its influence in dis
pensing good will as we'll as its repu-
tation for -dateness and effici-
ency is not bounded by county lines.
The people of Bridger and vicinity,
who were present, loudly applauded
each musical number rendered and ex-
pressed themselves as being sorry
that the band could not remain there
during the entire afternoon.
A fast run was then made to Belfry
over splendid roads, where the band
was greeted by an audience from the
entire upper Clarks Fork valley, ex-
tending clear into Wyoming. Mr..
Abrahamson introduced Director G..
e. Hudson and each member of the
band to the assembled people who
loudly applauded each one as he ack-
nowledged the introduction. The con-
cert here was one of the finest of the
trip and at least two of the selections
rendered were dedicated to prominent
citizens of Belfry by announcement
Of Mr.. Abrahamson.
The streets of Bearcreek were
thronged with people awaiting them
when the band reached there at 4:55
p. m. and that their concert was ap-
preciated by those present was evil
denced by the spontaneous applause
that followed the rendition of each
number. Hon. Alex Fairgrieve came
in for much applause when Mr. Abra-
hanson announced that the last num-
Der was played in his honor.
AS the band was leaving Bearcreek
it began to rain and when they
reached Red Lodge the weather was
such as to make it impossible for them
to have their concert out of doors. At
the invitation of Landlord T. F. Pol
lard, they rendered their concert in
the lobby of the Pollard hotel, which
was crowded to the capacity of stand
ing room and they came in for much
commentator for the splendid con-
cert they rendered and for the good
will and public spirit that prompted
them to give the series of concerts
they gave Sunday.

, gregation of musicians than those that
