Deseret evening news. [volume] (Great Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1867-1920, 1902-08-14

Buffalo BIZ is distinctly and unmls-
takably the man Of the hour In Salt
Lake. With grand exalted rulers of the
Elks for the past year and for the
coming year. with congressman of pre-
tentions here In our midst, II would
seem that there was room for argument
as to who is the man Of the hour. But
there Is no room. That man Is Cob w.
+, Cody-Buffalo Bill.
Col. Codys wild west show gave two
performances yesterday, and II gives
two more today. In addition to this.
the famous old man Of the west, who
stands head and shoulders above all the
others who rode and roped in the old
Gays. was entertained this morning at
an organ recital given In the Taberna-
Gle especially in his honor.
This meeting was probably the most
unique gathering that ever assembled
In the great building. According to
arrangement the auditorium was re-
served for Colonel Cody and company,
comprising about 800 peresons, the lat
ter all In the uniforms and character
costumes worn In the open arena. The
doors to the galleries were opened at
10 O'Clock. At that time there was al,
immense crowd waiting to get inside.
In 20 minutes every seat in the upper
part Of the house had been taken and
by hundreds they trooped down the
sides near where the choir sits and
crowded into the auditorium when the
lower doors were opened. Soon that was
filed, too. But the crush continued
until the doors had to be closed If
the Tabernacle ever had 10000 people
jam into II in less time than this MORN
ing there is no account Of II. II was
more than a reception. It was a DEM
onstration; and when II was all over
Colonel Cody simply exclaimed. Won
derful wonderful. The most marvellous
building. all things considered | was
ever IN. And certainly the most mar
yelous organ have ever seen or heard
both the creations Of wonderful,
yes, very wonderful people. What
voice that man Goddard has got
am no musician, but don't need TO be
one TO say that he has got great
voice. Then, as 10 your Miss Gates
How sweet. how like real song bird.
Her singing-what shan say OF it7
But can't, / won't attempt to descrlbe
II. II IL so soft. so sweet and so pure.
And, 10Y the way, that organlst, who Is
he, aud where did he come from? Why,
he makes that grand old organ talk"
