trains between midnight Sunday and
midnight last night and while half
dozen more trains will arrive today the
passengers will not remain here long
and tonight will see the last of the
Christian Endeavor rally. Eight more
trains arrived from the east yesterday
and all day long trains of Pullman and
Wagner cars were moving forward and
backward in the Rio Grande Western
yards and thousands of people were at
the station all day, either having just
arrived there or preparing to leave or
drawn there by curiosity to witness the
great scene presented there. In addi-
ton of all these there was, of course
an unusual number of passengers go
ing to or returning from Saltair anC
it seemed that there was not a hal.
hour during the entire day when trair
was not either arriving at or leaving
the station. The eastern visitors Were
scurrying everywhere looking for theil
trains and making preparations for de
parture- Many had narrow escapes !
from being left as all seemed anxious
to utilize every moment of the time here
in sightseeing about the city or visit
ing the different resorts. Nearly all the
people who went to the station to take
their trains were armed with lunch
warning sent out by the San Francisco
committee not TO trust to the railroad
eating houses between Ogden and Cali
fOrnia.
LEAVING FOR THE WEST.
The trains that left between 10
o'clock and midnight Sunday night
were those carrying McClain's st. Louis
party, the first section of the Iowa
state party, two sections of the Ohio
party and the Nebraska delegation. The
Kentucky delegation, the Des MONIES
ead Northern Iowa party and the
Michigan party in two sections left
shortly after midnight. They were fol-
lowed by other delegations yesterday
as follows:

of the Massachusetts train and two
sections of the Pennsylvania train at

1he Texas train, with three cars from

another special car at 1925, New Jer-

train carrying Ohio and Pennsylvania
cars and four cars of Utah delegates

Including the trains that left late
Sunday night on early Monday morn
ing, there were only ten trains that
departed before noon yesterday, so the
great majority of the visitors were
able to occupy all the morning in pleas
ure seeking and they did so occupy it
TO the fullest extent.
AT THE FORT.
The special feature of the day was
the dress parade at Fort Douglas.
which had been arranged for the visit
ors. Owing to the fact that so MANY
OF the eastern delegations arrived Sat
urday night and Sunday morning, too
late 10 visit the lake. ii was thought
probable that the attractions at Saltair
and Garfield would be so great that
not very many would attend the pa
Tade at the fort. But this did not prove
10 be the ease. for while the lake re-
sorts were patrcnized up To the last
hours that the visitors could remain
there before taking their trains for Cal
ifornia there were still enough others
who went TO the fort to make the larg-
est crowd seen there for a long time.
'tkeN di0 not intend 10 take any
chances with the street car service. and
