The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1897-06-30

The Herald in a graceful speech which
touched the already swelling chords of
sentiment in the breasts of the recipi-
ents.
The basket which attracted such great
attention, was the work of Mrs. John
Reading. the well known florist, who now
presides as landlady of 'Readington. at
The visitors also INDUCED in presen-
tation ceremony. Their victim was Harry
NJ. Gushing. of the Denver & Rio Grande
road, who accompanied them to Colorado
and who by his roguish and cunning
ways made the journey a most pleasant
one. He was presented with hair brush
and in the speech of presentation, which
was made by j. A Larsen of Great
Falls, no allusion was made to the fact
that Harry has no earthly use for a hair
brush. The omission was an evidence of
the tact possessed by Mr.. Larsen, and
that it was duly appreciated by Cush-
ing was demonstrated in his speech of
acceptance in which he twice called the
souvenir a clothing brush. The brush is
heavily mounted in silver and beautifully
is inscribed: From the ladies of the
Colorado party of the Montana Press as
ISOLATION to H. NJ. Gushing. Salt Lake
City, June 90 1897
j.. B. EveIand of the Rio Grande West
ern is as much of a favorite with the
ladies of the party as is Mr.. Cushing,
and before he reaches Butte he Will be
presented with the mate to the brush pre-
scented TO Mr. Cushing Had Eveland'
reputation for oratory not been so Well
established he would have been presented
with it here, but the party is anxious to
reach their homes on schedule time and
did not propose by any act of their TO
thwart that desire. So Eveland viii
have TO do his talking en- route and at
about the time good people are retiring
for the night.
AS the train pulled out of the depot the
Montanians gave three heart cheers in
honor of the Press club, and the members
in acknowledgment of that organization
waved their adieuX to the brightest and
most representative editorial aggregation
it has yet been their good fortune TO
welcome to and entertain in the beauti-
full City of the Saints.
