able Salt Lake to Spend
Pleasant Day.

SUFFERING A SUNSTR0KE
Large Crowd Attends Dedication
of Bandstand at Lib
erty Park.

The tendency of the mercury to rise
in the thermometer Sunday encouraged
fashionable Salt Lake in its pleasure
seeking as ii has not been encouraged
for several days and, tiguratively speak
ing, with wboop and hurrah, the popu
lace, welcoming the herald Of the
breaking Of winter, hastened away to
the summer garden spots. to the parks,
to the driving thoroughfares, where gay
turuouts of all descriptions were in evil
dence, and to the other resorts.
1t was an ideal day in comparison
with the last week or so. The temper
ature caused no unpleasant perspira-
tion. There were cool brec2es in abun-
dance and no reports came in of any
one suffering sunstroke. There was
some anxiety, in view of the fact that
old Sol showed his shining face to hth-
crto benighted Salt Lake all day, that
somebody might become overheated, but
there was no report of anybody alb
sorbing too many of the sun S rays.
Fans and parsols were tabooed, also,
The long rides to the resorts were
highly enjoyable, and il was a big day
of the season, decidedly, for the plea
sure places. The exodus TO the parks
and resorts was approached only by
cars All cars were crowded and hun
dreds OF persons, tired of the city with
it's wet and noisy life, lourueyed to the
quiet homes OF friends in the rural sec
tions just outside the city.

nifty 10 those who wished TO leave the
city, it also gave opportunity TO those

tai and see the sights. Despite the fact
that ii was Sunday, there were many
pedestrians on the streets of Zion-so
many that one might have thought,
with good reasons, that business was IN
full blast The explanation of it all
was in the fact that there were num-
Der of excursions into the city on steam
lines that were well patronized, Zion
is a great place for Sunday guests and
the excursion season is starting of this
year little more vigorous than usual,
due in part to the many summer resorts
here. The summer amusement places
promise To prove great allurement TO
the country AS we'll as the city folk
throughout the coming season. There
were big crowds at Lagoon, Saltar and
Wandamere.
Automobile driving was one of the
favorite pastimes of Sunday and many
big machine chugged into, out of or
through the city, driven by some auto
enthusiast who had taken advantage
of the day. The bicycle also came in
for share cf attention. Withal 1t was
day of amusements varied and en-
crossing in the Utah capital, and ludg-
ing from n general view OF the lite in
the city. everybody. or practically ev-
erybody, was happy.
