that the special train composed OF nVe
Pullmans rolled into the Rio Grande
Western depot with $50 members of the
American Association of Travelling Pas
senger Agents on board. Not all of this
number, however, were active members
of the association, nearly half of them,
in fact, were the wives, daughters and
sisters of the agents. The visitors re-
ceived a royal welcome at the hands or
the local railroad men, and spent the
day in seeing the sights of Salt Lake
City and the surrounding vicinity. They
were met at the depot by the reception
committee, which consisted of George
W. Heintz, D. E. Burnley. j. f. Baker,
B. F. Nevins, H. NJ. Clay, James 7. Full
ton and H. w. Mason. All of the visit
ors wore Salt Lake badges, upon which
were inscribed the word Welcome
name of the association and the date of
the month, and also a picture of the
temple. The agents and their wives
and daughters were certainly about as
representative a crowd of people as ever
visited this city.
Went Sightseeing.
AS soon as they had alighted, the en-
tire delegation boarded special street
cars which had been provided for them,
and were taken I'D town for Luncheon.
Many of them went to the Kenyon,
while not a few went to the Knutsford.
After luncheon the visitors assembled
at the tabernacle where for half hour
they listened to an organ recital. They
were loud in their praise of the wonder
full sweetness of the great instrument
and the architectural beauty of the
tabernacle and the temple.
The organ recital was by Joseph
ic
he sustained his reputation as an artist
He S. Goddard rendered several solos
with great effect, while the singing of
the quartette, which was composed of
Messrs. Whitney, Pyper, Spencer and
Goddard was especially fine.
After seeing all that was to be shown
them at this interesting point, they
again boarded the street cars and re-
turned to the depot, where thev took a
special train to Saltair. About half an
hour was spent at this resort, and when
the city was reached upon the return
trip a trolley ride around the entire city
was next upon the programme. A stop
was made at the Salt Palace, and some
time was spent there. The Palace was
greatly admired by the visitors. When
they had seen all the beauties of the
Salt Palace they returned to the hotels
for dinner, after which they again
by wav of the Rio Grande Western.
Several of them remained here, as they
intend continuing their visit to the Pa
cific coast. They were all profuse in
their thanks for the courtesies that
were extended them.
