The event of the week in fashiona-
BILE circles was the Opera House band
and orchestra SomnernacntteSt at the
WhBaling Park enclosure Wednesday
evening. A large number OF invita-
lions were issued, but they were so
placed that the throng which attended
was select and thoroughly congenial.
In its success it was a duplication of
the entertainment given at the same
place earlier in the season. The ". 4
E. G. motors early in the evening"
were crowded, and fully 1,500 persons
assembled within the enclosure, which
never looked more attractive. The
concert open@ the festivities OF the
evening. OF the instrumental num-

were in particularly good voice. and
their rendition Of vocal solos was ar
tistic in the highest degree. They were
received with unstinted applause, and
each responded, with an encore number.
At the conclusion of the concert, the
doors of the Casino were thrown open,
and several hours were devoted to
dancing. The music was especially ar
ranged for the occasion. The affair
concluded at one o'clock next morning,
the last guests returning to the city on
a special motor.
One of the notable social events of
the week in Bellaire, was the Yachting
party Thursday evening, under the
chaperonage of Misses Laura Dickens
and Lydia Heatherington. The Mont
gomery launch conveyed the merry
throng UP the river, and return. Tie
trip was enliyened by vocal and instru-
mental music, and the wants of the in
ner man received careful attention. In
the party were Misses Oral Dickens,

"Ex-Attache" in New York Tribune
While the world is fun of talk about
Spain and the Spaniards The traveller who
has explored the peninsula finds himself
testing current opinions by his own expert
ence. Roughly speaking, the popular i'm.
preston is just, though here and there 1t
needs correction There is, for example,
that process of decay to which the Latin
race everywhere, and especially in Spain,
is now subjected. This process is obvious
on the very surface of Spanish life yet be-
low the surface there are some important
conditions Of which il is necessary TO take
account. The masses as well as the classes
are decaying, but the former promise TO

ance, and they owe Il not alone 10 long

A UTAH RAILWAY.

An Eighty-Mile' Road Through Mineral
Country.
. Utah is to have a gigantic electric
railway enterprise before very long,
the Utah American and Foreign Devel-
opment company of London having
undertaken the development of a large
section of the country, through which
they intend to, build an electric road
eighty-two miles=in length. This will
connect Ogden, Salt Lake City and
Provo, Utah. The district through
which the road. will run is said to be
very rich, both. agriculturally and in
the line of mineral resources. The road
will reach Provo1canyon, which forms
the only natural outlet for railroads in
that direction, and it is expected that
steam railroad extensions will be built,
the traffic being handled electrically
over the eighty miles of the company's
lines. The power house will be located
between SaltaLakeeQ City and Provo and
three miles from the former, so that
the maximum distance between the
power plant and either end of the line
will be forty-two: miles. The plant is
designed for 10000 horse power. There
are said to be very: extensive iron and
coal deposits along the Line of the !oad
which can be successfully developed
