talk on the stage in which he, in behalf of the citizens, congratulated Div. 88 on the success of their May parties and the 25th in particular, referring to the old engineers and their good records of efficiency, and in behalf of the Division extended a hearty greeting to all. A telegram was also read from General Superintendent Park congratulating the Division on the 25th anniversary of the party.

The numbers were then continued until the 12th dance, when intermission was taken for supper. Shortly after 1 o'clock dancing was resumed and continued until nearly 5 o'clock, when the final waltz ended. Nearly every dance was given an encore, thus providing the greatest enthusiastic with all the dancing she or he desired.

Division deserves thanks. Certainly the people of North Platte will agree with The Tribune in saying that Div. 88 is entitled to thanks and commendations for furnishing the city with an event which proved so enjoyable; that brought so many visitors to the city; and that furnished such pleasant entertainment for the visitors and public in addition to the May party proper. Fortunate, indeed, for the Division and the people that the day proved so pleasant that all could take advantage of the entertainment provided during the day, and which made May 1, 1907, a red-letter day in the annals of North Platte.

May Div. 88, which has proven of such great benefit to its members and their families, that has assisted in making North Platte one of the best-known towns in the West, whose members are among the bone and sinew of our citizenship, grow in membership and in usefulness, and may present and future members celebrate the 50th anniversary of the May party.
