REED HOTEL
RECEPTION AT OGDEN,
SEPT. l9.

With cut of the new and elegant host
lery which has helped to make Ogden ia
nous.
At the conclusion Of the repast the Wis
itors were conveyed to the union depot and
the run to the north resumed, everyone
being in the happiest mood and the cOm-
pany increased in numbers and weight by
a good delegation from Ogden.
All thoughts were now turned to the
consideration of the object lesson just
ahead at
BEAR RIVER CANYON,
but the good people all along the route had
heard Of the excursion and were deter
mined not to allow it to pass without a
suitable expression of good feeling, which
was done in manner that could not be
misunderstood.
AT BRIGHAM CITY
one of the most fiourishing towns of Box
Elder county, the fruit raisers and citizens
generally gathered at the depot: baskets
laden with fruit were brought and flowers
of good will strewn so thick upon the track
that the merciless wheels of the iron horse
could not pass over them.
The display of fruit an6 products of
every character and description, including
melons, which cannot be surpassed by the
Georgians even, were too tempting for the
eye, and a veritable fruit BANQUET was
| served amidst the greatest enthusiasm and
thoroughly to the enjoyment of every one.
With thanks for the courtesies and
cheers for the guests, tbs train sped on to
that marvellous point, whose waters have
made it so famous,
HONEYWELL,
the town of half hundred springs, repro
senting great variety in miaersl proper
ties and an immense flow in quantity.
! Sulphur is the predominating charscteris
| tic, and all tested and quenched thei,
thirst.
To the next stop, at
BEAR RIVER DAM,
was but a few revolutions of the drivinc
wheels, ana they were soon made. Here

astonished the most uniformed, and
awakened the desire for minute inspec

to leave the engineers of the party in the
special charge of President Bacon and hi,
Vice assistant Gilbert to examine the
structural and hydraulic questions and Il
take the remainder of the party
To LOGAN
and show them some of the grandeur AM
beauty OF the Cache valley. This was 10
to be avoided, especially rs this enterpris
ing city had rendered it's hospiralities ant

A large concourse of citizens met uht
party, and, as at Ogden, they got tn
keys, and were taken to the man,
points of interest, including the beautiful
gardens and orchards, the temple and agri
cultural college, at which latter point thu
eXcursionists were welcomed in mos
pleasing address by the distinguished
president, Professor Sanborn.
The hour hand was now indicat
ing that the evening meal wa
spread and the company was conductet
to the dining rooms of the institution
where all the necessaries, as wei
as luXuries of the season were TO be fouut
beautifully arranged and served by tn,
hands of the fair mothers and daughters
whose thoughtfulness was of the mos
practical as well as esthetical nature. Tn
menu could not be printed, and would no
have been read, but all who participate
will long remember the ladies of Logan. /
very elaborate musical treat had been ar
ranged by ProI. Eastman, but owing t
the limited time the rendition was neces
sarily deferred for other times and othe
ears to enjoy.
