uad any doubts as to the on tcome, f.
nancially and otherwise, they must
have been thoroughly dissipated when
the doors were closed last evening.
The dull and dresry opening day of
the Territorial Exposition was followed
yesterday by one of the nost beautiful
ever seen, even in this Ideal Gil
mate" the result of which was that at
the hour announced for the opening of
the doors of the main hall, a large crowd
was in attendance, and from that time
until the closing of the show last even
ing, there were constant streams of
humanity pouring in and out of the
| bullilng. AS early as IL a. m. the
ground floor and gallery were packed,
and it was with the greatest difficulty
that one elbowed his way. among the
throng. This condition of affairs re-
b us the doors were open, and
oy actual count. no less than
5000 passed through the building and
around the grounds in that time. Fur
Their, 1t is safe to say that none of them
were disappointed, and not few sur
prised. Several of the gentlemen who
have heretofore been generous in
their contributions to the exhibi-
tons held here, but who, for
reasons unexplained, tailed to come for
ward this time, were seen early in the
morning hours carefully inspecting the
showing made, and to the queries of
HERALD man, one said; II badly
know why l did not contribute this
time, and am really sorry that l did
not. had no idea that such display
could be made, or should have added
my mite" But" continued the news
paper man, as the gentleman turned
away to examine something new that
had attracted his attention, suppose
all our citizens had the same feeling,
where, oh where, would our exposition
be ?" That is all true, and l realize
now more than ever that every citizen
should consider it not only pleasure
but a duty he owes to the city and
| Territory in which he lives, to do all
that lays within his power to make such
al exposition all that it can be made,
You will 6ud me on hand next year,
and you may say that several others
with whom [ have talked, and who,
also, have been lukewarm in the mat
ter, will not be found wanting, either"
Every exhibit, both interior and ex-
terror, presented a brighter and fresher
appearance yesterday, the rays of the
sun, which had been obscured the pre-
vious day, lighting up the interior with
an excellent effect, and bringing out
beauties that had previously been hid
den. There was, too, better arrange
ment of the various exhibits than had
been possible to make during the rush
and hurry previously mentioned, and
several new departments were noticed.
The grounds, dampened by the rain,
were in most excellent condition, and as
result, the stock show attracted
greater attention than ever. It was
universally conceded that better dis
play had never been made, in any of
the Territories, at least.
In the Art Department several new
entries had been made. noticeable
among which were those by j. W.
Charles Peterson, and Dan Weggeland,
and these added no little interest to
that formerly created in this direction.
a piece of bass-relievo by Morris occu-
pied prominent place and was gener-
ally admired. The statuette of Sulli-
van, the Slugger, by G. E. Dalton, the
Utah sculptor, drew bursts of admir-
alton from the friends of that distin-
guished Individual.
