To be rendered the visiting
Fire Chiefs and Ladies
at the
Knutsford Hotel. Monday Eve,
August 10, 1896, at 8 o'clock.
1t is expected that the party which will
assemble on that occasion will be a large
and select one and everyone who will take
part Will do all possible to make the visit
OF the chiefs a pleasant one.
Under the direction of General Ottinger,
Continental market is becoming a very at
tractive place. The decorations are very
nearly completed, with the exception of
the flowers. which will be added from time
to time. There will be several exhibits
made and they will be such as to interest
not only the firemen who will be here but
others and the hall viii be an interesting
place TO visit when all is complete.
OF course the programme will include a
trip to both the lake resorts. And in this
connection it may be well to state that
the covers on the programme will be
works of art. On the front page in colors
Will be vivid illustration of a steamer
gong to fire, with the appropriate let
tering above. The back covering will con-
tain pictures of GARFIELD and Saltair and
inside on the front cover will be the joint
city and county building, while on the in
side of the back cover will be the temple.

has been a slight delay in some minor
matters, but the work as a whole is pro-
crossing and will be continued, although
his valuable assistance is missed.
Several of the visitors are expected in
the city tomorrow and next day and more

REQUESTED TO DECORATE.
1t is specially requested that the mer-
chants of the city decorate their places of
business in honor of the coming of the fire
chiefs, accompanied by other prominent
gentlemen, many of whom will bring their
wives and families. Their coming is a not
able event for Salt Lake city, and should
be made second to none by the patriotic
citizens of the city. 1t is to be hoped
that the bunting, flags and electric light
displays used during the late carnival VIII
be brought out and flung to the breeze to
attract the attention Of those within our
gates, and show to the visiting members
OF the convention the appreciation i'll
which their coming is held. The magni
tude of the event is shown in one partic-
ular by the rate war now on with the rail-
way companies between this city and east
ern points to secure the transportation of
the convention members.
Hotel accommoda atoms have been taxed
to their full capacity already, some pay
ing as high as $25 per day for rooms and
board.
The committee have been working hard
to make a success of the undertaking,
and they should be assisted by the en-
