eral lines o. Ia IS md IL and out among
hundred cars TO find their quarters
but the railroad people gave them every
assistance and located them all.
The day was not what it would have
been if the trains had arrived at the
time they were expected. In the even
ing the crowds on the streets were
quite noticeable. and the Endeavorers
could be distinguished everywhere by
their badges. but it is doubtful if there
were more than 1900 of the visitors in
the - up TO 10 O'clock last night,
While II the trains had arrived on time
there would have been at least 10000
by that hour. Notwithstanding the
limited number Saltair was well pat
ronized. and many who did not arrive
in time to go earlier went as late as
S:15. and did not return until midnight,
when they had to find their way in the
darkness TO their sleeping cars several
hundred yards south of the depot 4
special train left for Saltair about 10
o'clock at night, and number went
there even that late. rather than miss
the opportunity Of visiting the resort.
PROGRAMME ABANDONED.
So far az the special programmes
which had been prepared for Saltair
yesterday were concerned. they had to
he abandoned entirely. II was intended
to give q formal reception 10 the Off
GERS and trustees of the united society,
and the visiting delegates, and a pro-
gramme had been arranged which in
cluded addresses by Governor Wells
and Rev. 8. f. Clay. and responses
by President Clark and Trustee Crosse
Mr.. p. ]. Caskey was to have presided
al the meeting. and there was 10 have
been a musical programme in connec-
ton with 1t. II was intended to have
these exercises about 3 O'Clock in the
afternoon. but the only delegations
which had arrived in time TO he a the
lake at that hour We're those from
Ohio, West Virginia, Kansas and Ok
lahoma, and there were probably net
more than LOCO people at the pavilion
then. DR.. Clark and Mr. Grcse we're
with the Massachusetts train, which
was hours behind. so it was impossi-
bic to have any addresses from them
Governor Wells. Mr.. Caskey and Mr..
Clay were on hand. but they concluded
to abandon the exercises altogether.
The Endeavorers who went to the
beach in the afternoon seemed to en-
joy the trip immensely. Several hun
dred of them went bathing and there
were a number of boating parties on
the lake. 1t is probable that owing TO
the failure of so many to arrive here
in time for the Saltair outing today
many will go there tomorrow morn
ing. or else avail themselves of the
special excursion TO Garfield tomorrow.
