anu endDleS DatneTs I'D walk out "a
great distance before getting into
deep water. The water is so dense
that swimming is almost impossible,
though it is very easy to float if one
can keep his feet down, novices pre-
senting a ludicrous appearance with
their feet extending heavenward
while their heads lay peacefully on
the bosom of the waves. While most
of the party took a dip and thor
Oughly enjoyed it, Others went row.
ing and "a few remained i'm the pavil-
ion enjoying the antics of the bold
and the screams of the frightened.
Later all took part in a dance. AT
p. m. the eXcursionists and their
hosts sat down to the tables and did
full justice to the repast set before
them, after which the address of wei
come of Gov. Wells was read, to
which Editor Quinn responded i'm n
brilliant speech. The president OF
the Utah press association followed,
President Keith responding, and the
speech-making was closed with "a few
remarks by the president of the city
press club to which A. j. Fisk replied.
Howard Kyle, the actor, rendered
two Rotations which were highly
appreciated and at 4:3O the party re-
turned to h city, not however, to
disperse, but to go at nee to Camp
Douglass. AT this post, which is
considered one of the handsomest i'm
the west and from which can be
gained II beautiful bird's-eye view of
the valley and the city, Al specially
arranged musical program was rem
dered by the noted band of the 9th
regiment. The officers showed the
party every courtesy and it was re-
GREETED that our stay was necessar-
lily so brief. Upon reaching the city
the party sought the hotels and par
took of a quiet meal, and i'm thceven-
ing attended a oncert at the Nor.
mon tabernacle, given for the yisi-
tors. At either side and in front of
the grand organ, which includes
over 2OO pipes, h greatest of which
is AZ feet high, sat the members of the
chorus numbering 1000, the greatest
body OF singers i'm the world. Several
numbers which have been written
for the grand jubilee, and other ia
vorities were rendered beside two Sc
lections by the organist, the tender
ness of the tones being almost human.
OF the beautiful scenery within
the city limits, of the MOrmon's and
their buildings, of the visit to Saltair,
meeting with Fergus county people,
and of the subsequent trip to Denver
through the grandest scenery Of the
Rocky mountains, / shall leave until
next week to relate. 1t is impractic-
able to cover all the enjoyment OF
this excursion in one article.
