DAY undoubtedly had som 'thing OF
his feeling. Other celebrations OF
Pioneer Day there have been In Salt
tase more ambitious and larger 10
some than this, but none more whole

times three cheers proposed aud given
.nr them by the audience went up
with hearty will thht must have
warmed the Utmost recesses Of their
heatts.
The program conceived h. honor OF
tho DAY by Mr. stephens was unique
throughout. An audience OF 1000 OF
900 people paid for admission to
tho Tabernacle, and paid It tho
moro willingly that they understood

g iyefed wagons surrounded by sage

One Of the most interesting para OF
the program was the song by John Y.
Smith, chorus by tue choir, and the
liz by Thomas Dobson, Illustrating
the methods by which the hand
ear volunteers used TO drive dull
caro- away from the camps This
uuulause that arose over both
was quite unbounded, aud the ON.
tuusiusm grew 10 fever height when
Mr.. Stephens proposed three cheers ioi
the veterans,
The addresses OF President Woodruff
and Governor West were both loudly
npplauded, The former recon- ntei
something OF the experiences OF
the pioneers on that day
foriy-six years ago, and eE-
pressed his thankfulness that h,
was permitted 10 be- present at thii
celebration. The latter paid a glowing
tribute TO the pioneers, ami was special
ly applauded when he referred to tn,
grand Tabernacle choir aud said h,
fer sure the eyes OF all Utah would
follow them to Chicago In confidence,
that they would come back triumph
nut The other features OF tho pro-
gram consisted OF ohoruses by the
choir, this competitive selections being
followed with the closest attention, I
duet by Mr.. EAston and Mrs. Allison
which was a glorious effort, and on'
that had 10 be repeated; vlohl
solo by Mr.. A,nold which
was also triumph Of skill
tasto and feeling, ami brought ia,
admirably arranged and caused tn,
most genuine pleasure throughout.
