circle that I might have better oPpor-
tunity TO sketch the audience. Not
withstanding the great size Of the house
and the busy season Of the year, every
seat was occupied. Below and in 'front.'
NJ me. in what Is known As the par
.ouette, sat the thirty-five daughters OF
Brigham Young. On an opposite side
of the aisle were three long seats appro-
priated to his wives; only twelve were
nointed out to me as being present. AT
the end of these seats, near register,
and about half way between the wives
and manageable daughters, was the
cushioned backed rocking chair belong
ing 70 President Young. The President
being on . visit to portions OF his family
!. IA different parts Of the Territory, the
chair. Of course, was unoccupied. The
danghters were apparently oil OF about
the same ages-sixteen to twenty. They
wore white straw ribbons over their
hcads-the spring style for bonnets in
a.lt T.ake-white sacks trimmed In
n,aov fantastic colors, white kid gloves,
rcd scarfs, and white dresses. 'ihey
oole., the audience through their silver
TONED opera glasses, listened to the play
occasionally, as II the theatre Was par
n the routine of their monotonous lie
and met the curious gaze Of the assem-
bled multitude between the acts with
becoming dignity. The twelve wives
were dressed in what Is known In ths
states a. a travelling costume. Th'
bounets were black or dark brown, trim
med with bead bugles, or whatever the.
are called, and the dresses were OF biaci
merino. or something it resembles. Th'
whole audience was tastefully attiret
and extremely quiet and respectable IL
appearance. That part Of the play rep
resenting the life among the lowly 0
New York, seemed to excite the utmos
interest from all present. 1t is = phas
of life unknown in Salt Lake. But few
here are extremely rich, while none ar
distrcssingly poor. There is considers
BILE complaint on the side OF hard time
and scarcity of money. The India'
troubles is keeping back their overlan
immigration to Nevada and California
which has been the great support to Sal
Lake in years gone by forever. Brig
hams railroad contract is expected
make money plenty and times lively 70
the next six months at least. by ar
other season the railroad will either /
completed to this place or thirty mile
north, and from thenceforth Salt LAX
City will take its place as one Of tn
most fashionable and agreeable watering
places and summer resorts on the Amer
lean continent. The wealthy denizen
ofthe metropolitan cities along the Al
lantic will find here not only the lii
giving mountain air, but also all the In
tellectual advantages and enjoyment
they left behind. They will here fin
all the romance of q mountain retreat
combined with the comforts Of refine
city society. only hope that this fai
