Anyone visiting the tabernacle and
the Salt Lake theatre last evening and
then walking down Main street and
adjoining thoroughfares at the same
time would have had cause to wonder
where all the people came from. There
were at least 10000 people in the tab
ernacle, the theatre was crowded and
at the same time there was a mass
of humanity on the streets that made
them impossible at some points.
IN THE EVENING.
The evening was all that could be
desired. and everybody who was not
otherwise engaged seemed to take adj
vantage of the opportunity to enjoy
the glorious illumination TO be seen
there. A band of music occupied the
stand near the Brigham Young monu-
ment all the evening and the Fort
Douglas and other bands were parad-
ing the streets at intervals. People
walked back and forth between the
monument and the tribunes below
Third South street for hours and did
not seem TO tire until the prospect OF
missing the last car drove them TO
their homes. Notwithstanding the
=
ton there is still more interest in what
is to follow, and the great pageant
of progress which will open the ex-
ercises today is expected to attract
crowd such as has never been seen on
the streets Of this city before.

zens.

for in its best representatives and that
this event NAV exact patriotism and
tend to promote national unity.
