CHICAGO, June Is.
The pleasantest affair in the way OF en-
tertainments which have occurred
amongst the home people of late, was the
reception rendered Mr.. Nelson Empey on
last Saturday evening at the Utah build
ing, the occasion being the event of Mr..
E's departure for Salt Lake, after long
period spent in attending to Utah 5
representation at the Worlds fair.
Mr.. Empey has made host of warm
friends during his connection with Utah S
World's fair interests, and the people of
the Utah building endeavored to show
some expression of their esteem by
planning farewell party in his honor.
There was but a short time for arrange
ments-nothing definite having been
decided, till noon on Saturday. During
the afternoon the Utah people within
reach on the grounds or in the building
were invited to be present, in the evening,
and from about S until II O'Clock an IN
formal but pleasant gathering took place,
a large number OF Utah people being
present to honor the occasion.
Among the few but delightful enter
tainments of the evening, were a number
of solos rendered by our popular home
singers Mr.. George Piper, Miss May
Preston and Miss Clones, the two for
mer rendering also beautiful duett, and
the latter young lady an EXQUISITE little
song entitled ''Good Night. -
Professor j. II. Paul added to the
pleasure of the evening by rendering an
excellent declaration, and after refresh
ments were served, when Commissioner
Empey's health was drunk by the assem-
bled guests. The reception was pleas
antly ended by an appropriate speech
from Mr.. Don Mcguire who congratu-
lated MIR. Empey upon the zeal and in
terest shown in his labors and upon the
warm associations which had been formed
during his connection with Utah's World
fair concerns.
Among those present besides the above
mentioned were Mrs. L. d. Richards,
who was the hostess of the occasion, MIR.
and Mrs. NJ. Sloan, Mr.. and Mrs. e. Nc
Daniels, Mr.. and Mrs. AIonzo Young
Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer Clawson, Miss
TeasdeI, Mrs. Eva Davis, Mr.. and Mrs.
j. D. Spencer, Miss Allie Davis, Miss
Claire Clawson, Mr. and Mrs. James
Crackwell and number of others, all Of
whom expressed themselves as being de-
! lighted with the occasion.
The work at the Worlds fair. is thor
oughly organized enough now to obviatt
the necessity of MIR. Empey's persona
supervision for time, and the gentleman
will take needed recreation at home dur
ing the summer months and return t,
Chicago sometime early in the fall.
Some OF the ladies OF the Utah building
will shortly follow his example, the ar
engagements in all departments beini
almost entirely completed and requiring
really no great amount at present of per
sonal direction.
The grounds are still plentifully fire
quented by Utah people, and it seem
thar the summer will see q steady contin
uation of the travel from home. MI
Isaac Clayton, MIR. VIII Sharp and Nj
W. II. Rowe and family are amongst re
cent corners, but expect to stay here
short time. Messrs. Rowe and Spence
Clawson leave for New York tonight.
