THE BOSTONIANS AT THE LAKE.
Among the first places of the many inter
esting spots about Salt Lake that the Bos-
tonians sought on arrival here was Gar
field Beach. Every day members of them
have been seen in the sparkling waters and
no one seemed to enjoy the bathing as
much as they did. Enough was known of
the pleasures of the resort to cause the
rank and file of this crack corps of singers
to shout a loud hurrah when Mr.. Barnabee
Just at the close of rehearsal at the opera
house yesterday forenoon, stepped to the
middle of the stage and introduced City
Passenger Agent Charley ingalls,, of the
Union Pacific, who explained to
the eXpectant Bostonians that he
was deputized by the railway officials
whom he represents land very ably too
to inform them that special traina waited
them at the Utah a. Nevada depot which
was to give them a complimentary eX
cursion to Garfield Beach and return. The
loud hurrah came at this stage of the pro
ceedingS and Immediately there was rush
for hasty lunch, after which, the BoStOnian
excursion train At the depot an engine
who all reported by 2:l5 pm. The run to
the beach was made in very quick time.
! The ride was enlivened by glce songs
from the chorus and in visiting between
the principal artists and some invited
guests, among whom were representative
OF THE HERALD, MIR. Mckenzie OF the
Pacific Short line, Mr.. Lippman and wife,
and Miss Hammond. .lr. ingalls, had
thOughtfully telephoned Tor bathing
accommodations, and in ID few
moments the entire company was in
the water. Nearly every one of them
had already soIved the mystery OF
floating in Salt Lake and their enjoyment
of the luxury was eXpreSsedin extravaganza
terms. Some few were unable to summon
the courage 4" to go ii alone, Among the
most conspicuous of the class was Jesse
Bartlett Davis the plump and fair con
traltO who declared she ''cOuId not keep up
alone" She was successfully deceived
however. and foated about some time in
tt e belief she was being held up bya couple
of male escorts. The moment she found
deception was practised she uttered a
strong contraltO ejaculation and proceeded
to sink, but the escorts We're ready and
she was saved a salt water ducl1ing,
Marie Stone navigated very nicely but
preferred the close proximity of her
husband, A. H. Macdonald. Juliette Cor
den tried hard to swim, but declared she
couldn't keep her feet down. Miss Gordon
is an expert swimmer in ordinary waters.
| Louise Bianchi and Josephine Bartlett
readily acquired the mack of floating, but
| Mrs. Barnabee was very doubtful about
trusting herself alone. The young chorus
ladies for the most part were well attended
| by the male member of the same party.
Miss Read proved as good a navigator as
any in the waters, and Miss Juthill, dis
| tinguished as she is in appearance, was
even more distingue in the water. Tom
Karl. Henry Barnabee, Edwin Hoff and
Eugene COWleS were not at all embarrassed,
though itrequired all their navigating skill
to keep squared away from the breakers.
Young Pond the acting manager, and
Manager VIII j. Davis are swimmers.
Frequently Manager Davis would slip away
from his too timid wife and take an excur-
sion out in deep water-not so far, how
ever that he could hear the occasional CON
tralto shout as a larger than usual wave
would encounter the donna half. There
were number of laughable incidents and
some considerable wiping of eyes as the de
sire to splash was too strong to resist de-
spite the printed warning in every bath
room; while the merriment in the water
was at its hight, photographer Newcomb
Waded out with camera and took an in.

After al hours bathing the BostOnians
dressed and enjoyed the May dance on the
pavilion until O'Clock, when the whistle
sounded for the return of the special Some
delay was occasioned in getting off, so that
upon leaving the engineer was enjoined to
| 'letterun - and run she did, for at 40 the
train pulled up at the depot with as de-
lighted party to alight th0refrom as ever
jOurneyed from Salt Lake to Garfield
beach. In the evening, after the opera an
informal meeting of the members of the
company was held and the following letter
unanimously approved of and signed:
