with those already here and the num-
Der coming on the other road, it IS
safe to say that upwards Of a thousand
American teachers will spend this Sun
day in Zion.
To Entertain the Visitors
President Dolly, of the board of ed
ucation, yesterday received a tele-
gram from Superintendent Nillspaugh
to the effect that thousand promi-
nent teachers would arrive here this
morning. President Bacon, of the
chamber of commerce, was promptly
notified, and movement was at once
put on foot to receive the visitors
properly and do something towards en-
PERTAINING them and making their stay
a pleasant one.
VIII Go to the Tabernacle.
Seats have been reserved for them at
the tabernacle this afternoon, and i'm
mediately after the services a, special
organ recital will be given.
Two trains of street cars have been
secured to convey the visitors to the
principal school buildings, the Warm
Springs, Liberty park. the city and
county building and other points of in
terest
The teachers are all provided with
transportation to beautiful Saltair and
Garfield, and trip to the lake, in
Guiding, Of course, a bath in the Dead
Sea of America" will be a pleasant
feature Of the trip.
1t is urged upon our people that they
make every effort to entertain the Wis
itors. and those having conveyanceS
can do good service using them in driv-
ing the teachers over the city.
No other place in America possesses
such attractions as Salt Lake, and with
the proper effort made now, it is be-
lieved that the convention for 1897 can
be secured for Salt Lake.
The Yellowstone Trip.
"A great number of the teachers will
leave tomorrow evening over the Union
Pacific for the Yellowstone.
The excursion arranged covers
twenty-five days, and the entire cost,
including meals, has been put at
$3.50. This will be the largest ex-
cursion that ever visited the Park.
The Lake Resorts.
1t is safe TO say that not one of the
teachers will leave without visiting
the lake, so that saltair and Garfield
will have q big rush for the next two
or three days.
4 Special to Denver.
The Rio Grande Western announces
that tomorrow evening at o'clock it |
will, for the benefit of the teachers, |
run a special train, with full equip |
ment, for Denver, running through |
''solid" to that city. although close !
will be made with the |
narrow guage at Grand Junction.
A Crowded City.
The local trains over the Union |
Pacific and Rio Grande Western,
brought in hundreds of people from |
the north and south yesterday, the big
Democratic convention being the at
traction.
Then the first delegation of the
Montana excursionists came in over |
the Union Pacific from Butte in the |
morning, and by the time the teach
ers had arrived, 1.-THE hotels were taxed |
to their utmost capacity TO accommo-
date the guests. BY this morning. |
however, THE Utah excursionists win |
have taken their departure, and it is |
hoped that all the educators can be |
Jared for and made comfortable. AL |
together it will tax the ingenuity of |
the hotel men to accomplish THE task. |
