first mortgage bondholders on the hos
pitaljties of the citizens, received yes
terGay all that Salt Lake had to give,
and although the threat ening weather
Of the morning necessitated dispensing
glorious afternoon more than made
amends, and the 200 odd professional
entertainers had so good a time that
they vowed they had never been SO
pleasantly or profitably entertained. No
words better express the satisfaction
the visitors felt at the close of the
cay than those of a Boston gentleman
as he stepped aboard the train to de-
part. He sa.rd: I'VE came expecting
much, and our most extravagant an
ticipations have been realized" and
every man and woman in the big party
agreed with him.
The party arrived at 7:3O in the
morning and were met and welcomed
to the City after the same manner as
was the delegation of the day previous
The weather of the morning was lowry
and forbiGding and it was feared the
day would be spoiled and the visitors
receive a contrary impression of Salt
Lake to that intended, and when it
came time for the drive about the city
the apprehensions of the members of
the committees were not in the least
Fssene6. The drive had to be aban-
doned and the people of the party sort
of adopted the 'go as you please"
plan, which appeared so often on their
itinerary. They went about and in
spected the business esta Adjustments or
remained at The hotels and rested till
the hour for the visit ITO the tabernacle
arrived. AT that time Professor Daynes
treated them to such an organ recital
as they are not wont to hear, even IN
the best of their eastern cities, and
Messrs. Davis and Hume, the tenor and
baritone of the Primrose and West
Minstrel company, rendered a number
of solos.
BY the time the concert was over.
the weather began to brighten, and by
the time luncheon had been partaken
off, the sun, which had been struggling
for the mastery, came off completely
victorious and shone forth in the most
gorgeous Of afternoons.
Everybody was in better spirits at
once and a rush was made for the
cars to catch the train for the beach.
The prospects for a glorious afternoon
prompted a great number of local peo-
pie to join the party, and fully 400
persons were crowded into the train
when it pulled out from the Rio Grande
Western depot.
Arrived at Saltair Denhalter's band,
which was again in attendance, struck
up a lively waltz and all hands joined
in the dancing, which was kept up for
an hour. Meanwhile everyone, the
strangers, rambled UP and down and
all over the pavilion and asked in
Vulnerable questions about the lake,
the bathing, etc.; but, unlike on the
day before. none of them could be in
duced TO take a plunge, even after Gus
Holmes had delivered himself of his
most eulogistic phrases.
When all had had their fill of the
pleasures of Saltair the start for the
return to the city was made and the
city reached at 4:30. The afternoon had
been as lovely as was ever seen in mid
summer and not one but felt the dis
appointment Of the morning had been
more than compensated. After dinner
at the Knutsford the party left at 1870,
happy and content with their day in
Zion.
The party included in its membership
the proprietors and managers of near
ly all the principal hosteleries of New
England and of the central western
states. They were:
