part the immigrants come from their
children show the local type from the
start.
In Utah, for instance, a majority of the
immigrants are from the brood and stocky
%peasantry of Europe, and rs late as 1870
dealers in footwear habitually ordered
cases averaging two or three sizes larger
than are worn in New York; but their
children grow up in the American like
ness, tall and slender and springy, and
the arched instep is common in the second
generation. I predict, therefore, that in
the third and fourth generations Utah
will be noted for handsome women as it's
mountain valleys are fair reproduction
of those of Circassia, Georgia and Min
grelia where, according to the old geogra-
phies, the Aryan race reach physical per-
lection.
E. Evans, of Lehi, Utah, has a beautiful
painting entitled "Harvest"-No. 40, U.
S. section-and j. 7. Harwod, of Salt
Lake city has another entitled preparing
Dinner"-No. $50. The "Wounded Buff
falo," No. q, is a sculpture by James A.
Byrnes, of Denver; "The End of the Buff
falo Hunt No. 50, is by Preston Powers,
of Denver, and "Left of Paradise" No.
116, is by Ida Stair of the same place.
California is very we'll represented in all
lines of art. New York and Boston are
credited with more pictures than all other
places put together, of course, because the
great schools are there and unfortunately
artists productions are only designated
by the place of production and we do not
know the early home of the artist. Chi
cago stands third on the list and several
other cities contend for fourth place.. It
seems to m that in art a new system of
classification might we'll be adopted, that
we might know the native state or terri
tory Of the artist as we'll as the school in
which he did his work.

Of future events not yet exploited a verv
interesting one will be the athletic con-
tests which begin Sept. 10, for in addition
to all the other wonders we are to have the
Olympic games Oh a small scale, at least.
The first day is that of the amateur ath-
letic clubs when there will be q trial for
the swimming championship at 100 yards,
220 yards, 440 yards, $50 yards and one
mile. There is q good deal of swimming
going on now and the exhibits made every
day in front of the Natatorium are well
worth seeing. The lake water is cold and
the waves are often rough, but the hardy
athletes breast them with hearts of con-
troversy, as Cassius said he and Cesar
did.
On the second day, Sept. IA, the main
event probably will be the handicap ath-
letic meeting, where there will be running
at all distances from s~eventS-five yards to
two miles, hurdle races, walking matches,
bicycle races, vaulting and pole-jumping
throwing weights from 16 up to Sc pounds
and tugs-of-war, so called, by teams of
four men each. Sept. Is will be
given up chiefly to ball and lacrosse, and
on Sept. 16 all the stars in the alleged ath-
letic armament will windu u? the doings in
contests for the worlds championships.
The names enrolled would fill a column
like this and it is confidently alleged that
there will be some of the tallest running
and highest jumping ever seen in Amer
lea.
If one may Judge by the recent past the
special days to come will indeed be won
derful. Illinois set her stakes to have 500
600 people here or her day and really had
half that many, so al Chicago promises
100000 on her day, we may expect $50, 900.
Utah intends to also astonish the world
on Sept. Q, and has already completed ar
rangements for u very appropriate cele-
bration. All the surviving pioneers are to
be here, numbering rs is supposed about
400, and including the present heads of the
Mormon church. Special rates have been
obtained for them OF the railroads and If
nothing else is done the parade and march
of the old veterans of Nauvoo and Kirt-
land and Independence, Mo-, the men who
crossed the plains in 1S47 to found a relig-
ions community on the shorpa Of onr Inr.
dan and Dead sen, will be we'll worth see
ing. In Utah us everywhere else time
softens animositics and caste halo over
the rugged hills long passed; the heroic
achievements of both factions arc then
thrown into a common stock and become
the common glory of the country, and al
ready those once called "blood-drinking
Gentiles" begin to speak with respect Of
Brigham Young and join in giving honor
to "Our Pioneers" J. II. BEADLE p
