queen contest from several counties.
Miss Clara Kirkman is the queen of
Sewer county, Miss Sarah Bowen of
Logan, of Cache county Miss Sarah
Dowding of Sandy of Salt Lake county.
and Miss Georgia Warburton of Tooele
county. The canvass of the Weber
co1rIty vote by the executive commit
tee showed that Miss Fannie Hammond
has been elected queen of Weber county
by handsome majority.
The executive committee yesterday
solved the tribune problem by letting
the contract for constructing them on
a sharing proposition. In this way the
committee expects to derive a revenue
of several thousand dollars. Seats for
the accommodation of ten thousand
people will be erected, and a nominal
cherge will be made for the four pa
rades In this way families can Sc
cure reserved seats in advance and in
other WAYS overcome the many COM
mon annoyances which usually attend
a crush.
