the most pleasant hours of the day.
The lawns and shade trees and flower
beds were all in excellent condition,
making the place one of the prettiest
spots in the country.
Twelve carloads of people went out
on the observation train 70 watch the
road racers in their exciting wheel con-
test, and all through the day, at inter
walls, more people came pouring In from
Salt Lake and Ogden and intermediate
points The big crowd was orderly
and well handled. The saloons We're
closed and rowdy conduct was con-
spicuous by its absence.
While some of the concessions were
not yet open, the attractions were sur

was the new roller skating rink, the
