The spacious and elegant home
of Judge and Mrs. Baldwin was the
scene of a ni03t brilliant affair on
Thursday and Friday, the 3d and
4th Itist., when Mrs. A. S. Baldwin
and Mrs Prank Bacon entertained
in a most delightful manner about
eighty ladicp, the guest of honor
being Mrs. Baldwin' niece, Mrs.
Julius Brunton of Chicago. The
decorations were most magnificent
and unique, the red, white and
blue scheme being carried out in
every detail as characteristic of the
Natlon'd birthday, Large sill: Hags
were beautifully festooned and
drap:d arcu.id, while small Hags
and fire crackers were no less
charmingly used to give zebt to the
occasion. The floral decorations
also were bcautitul in the extreme.
Cut flowers were tastefully and
protuscly arranged here and there,
while potted plants were largely in
d)tniuanc, the stairway presenting
the appearance ot a huge embank
tnent of cboic: ferns and palm, the
spacious rooms really seemed as
one vast conservatory of nch loll
age and bloom. The entertaining
feature on Thursday was a draw
ing contest, the Finest artist being
awarded a prize. Mrs. Earl New
ton, being the fortunate winner,
the prize a hugh fire cracker. The
booby prize was won by Mrs. W.
II. C. Woodhurst, thc prize ticing a
very small decorated firecracker.
Cards were indulged in on Fri
day bv way of entertainment.
Refreshment", most elaborate
and dainty, were served, the na
tional color scheme being carried
out in the table dccurationn, also
in the refreshments. After a de
lightful afternoon all were unani
mous in pronouncing Mrs. Baldwin
and Mrs. Bacon most charming
hostesses. A Guest.
The Glorious Fourth.
The Fourth was a rather -quiet"
day in North Platte, no attempt at
a celebration being made other
then that there was the customary
firing of explosives.
In the small hours of the morn
ing a party of men secured a cannon
of good-sized calibre and made con
stant use of it for several hours,
thereby arousing the sleeping in
habitants and keeping them awake.
The Buffalo Bill Gun Club held a
tournament in the forenoon and
also in the altcrnoon which at
tracted not only the men handy
with a gun but also a number of
spectators, The ball game in the
afternoon was attended by several
hundred people.
Ouite a large number of members
ot the G. A. R , W. R. C. and their
families attended a picnic al the
national cemetery, some driving
down and others going by train to
Maxwell, where conveyances met
them. Those who attended report
a very pleasant day.
In the evening the band gave its
weekly concert at the court house
park, and later in the evening there
wcie liberal pyrotechnic displays.
The day being warm, many ol
our residents spent the mid-day
hours beneath the shade of their
own vine and fig tree.
