contlnueu 10 pour In addltlonal visitors
from the Centennial state. The nlmber of
excursionists reported by the railway
authorities does not seem to tally with the
hotel registers, and on the face Of the re-
turns it looks as if there was desire to
swell the grand total beyond what it
actually is. The seeming contradiction
may, however be accounted for by the
fact that great many Colorado people
live In Salt Lake and that large percent
age OF the eXcursionists are their friends,
who took advantage of the low rates to pay
them visit.
THE EXCURSION YESTERDAY AFTERNOON
to Garfield Beach certainly showed up sew
erai hundred visitors, as II was made up
largely OF strangers.
The committees from the real estate eX-
change, stock exchange and chamber of
commerce are said to have been hard at
work, although outside of few men with
badges on their coats, lodging about very
shyly. there was not very much to be seen
OF the result of their official action. At the
lake the visitors could get tickets at the
accustomed price by paying for them, and
they could also secure keys and towels
when there were any to be had. When no
mlttees did not go about to remedy the
trouble. They simply stood about waiting
for the bathers to get along as best they
could.
Several members of the committee, how
ever, stood out in the hot sun and tried to
make themselves useful, but it was an eff
tort without system.

The water was rs warm as gulf stream,

Some Of the prettiest Salt Lake girls
were on hand to give their country cousins
object lessons and among them no more
graceful swimmer could have been selected
than Miss Marshall and she cut her turns
and made her stretches in a way that ex-
cited praise from all the Colorado contin
