sy Sweetheart and little Amelia Will
liams, the 7-year-old prodigy, scored
her second Tabernacle triumph. Pro-
fessor Daynes captivated the gathering,
and Miss Clark and Mr.. AshWorth in
their solos, were warmly received The
enthusiasm was wonderful for an au-
dience Of the size.
When Father Ridges was brought
forward by Professor stephens the ap-
plaUse began before he could be intro
duced. An introduction was entirely
unnecessary, as Professor Stephens
learned, and none was made. 1t was
another ovation such as he received in
the same building on the first day Of
the century.
The short talk delivered by the vet
eran was eloquent, but was heard with
difficulty in some parts of the build
ing. He referred to the days and nights
of toll out of which grew the instru-
ment, and he related interestingly how
each pipe was voiced by an old organ
which stood in a corner of the founda-
ton of the Tabernacle. Running rapidly
over some of the principal events bear
ing on it's construction, in a, poetic vein
he compared the instrument to a hui
man being. The old man, at the con-
clusiOn of his talk. played "OId Hun
dred' on the organ, to the delight Of
the audience.
All classes were represented in the
gathering last night from the pioneer
grown weak with age to the kindeTgar-
ten pupil who could not sit still through
the performance. Many people from out
of town points attended. One delega-
ton Of fourteen came from Riverton in
a body. The choir of this little town
sold thirty-seven tickets.
Treasurer Piper said last night that
about 81 300 would be realized from the
testimonial all of which will go to

railway, made a tour of inspection yes

raise it's tracks through the swail and
let the wagon road run under the rail
way, the county to bear the expense of
lowering the highway an undertaking of
large proportions.
The commissioners were of the opinion
that such a change would be of benefit to
pany, and were half inclined TO make a
compact to carry the scheme into effect
but the status OF the crossing of the Ore
