Especial to The Herald Republican,
Seattle, Sept. 5.-The echoes Of Utah
week at the Alaska Yukon-Pacific expo
sition will be heard for months to come,
accompanied by the assurance that the
state has not only been splendidly adver-
tised, but rose to the occasion nObly, hold
ing her own in a marked degree.
Although the Seattle high mist had
rather a dampening eject on Utah day
the official ceremonies connected with the
day were most successfully carried out.
and every loyal Utahn was proud Of
the showing made, as the governor and
his staff, with the high officials of the
exposition. were escorted to the building
by the San Lake high school cadets.
Both J. Z. ChilbeTg, president Of the
exposition, and Director General 1. \.
NaGeau took occasion to say in their
addresses of welcome, that no one state
had done more to make the great north
western fair a grand success than had
the state of Utah, by her fine building,
splendidly displayed exhibit and loyal
services, and that Seattle and the whole
Pacific northwest would ever remember
and appreciate the great effort made by
the state that was the farthest away.
Considering the distance it is remark
able to note the numbers who have visit
ed the exposition since the opening from
Utah The last week it seemed S II
Zion must have been rather depopulated
when noting the many familiar faces IN
attendance.
Aside from the members Of the three
Official organizations, the ladies Of the
governors staff and party, who were
the guests of Colonel and Mrs. D. {.
lacking in the former luxurious private
car, including Mr.. and Mrs. 0. j. Sails
bury, the former a delegate to the Con-
servatiOn congress, there were many 9th
ers accompanying the cadets, and the
tabernacle choir
The Cadets.
As for our boys-the high school cadets
they were the idols Of the hour and
made the distinct hit of the season. Cap
tain A. NJ. Witherlu, U. 5. A. government
expert and military director at the ex-
position, declared them to be the best
drilled, best dressed and affOrding the
best presence Of any uniformed body that
has visited the xpOsitiOn-ranking with
the L. S. regulars
The dress paTades when they were re-
viewed by Governor Hay OF washington
President Chilberg and Director General
Nadeau, given on the beautiful lawn IN
front of the music pavilion with the set
ting of the natural forest trees, banks
and hedges of flowers, magnificent build
ings and cascade in the distance, was a
sight not soon to be forgotten one
wished that every fond mother might
have been present to view the pictur-
esque scene.
The young soldier boys were anything
but idle during their week s stay with
numerous parades, drills, reviews and
camp duties, but they found time to take
in the beauties and destinations OF the
great fair, and it was a pleasure to meet
them wandering about the grounds II
groups. and to note the delight and in
terest shown in their happy faces. Ere
Quent side trips were made on the SOUND
which were a distinct pleasure as well
as Of an educational value
tary organization after breaking camp on
Tuesday was the parade past the titan
building when they halted long enough
for Captain Webb to put them through
maneuvers while the band played on
ward. Christian Soldiers as they
marched away.
The Tabernacle Choir.
The Tabernacle choir scored a flatter-
ing success from first to last and the
sale Of seats for their concert was UMPIRE
Cedented. There was some little mlsun-
derstanding with the management or the
EisteddfOd, but it did not reflect in any
way upon the musical organization.
J. J. Mcclellan was given compliment
tary recital al st. Mark S church sun
day afterwnoCn, when he presided at the
organ in his customary mastery man
ner. rendering a choice classical program,
which was enthusiastically received. Miss
Hazel Barnes, the leading contralto OF
the choir whom it vii be remembered
won the first prize in the Eisteddfod held
last fall in Salt Lake, was retained at a
flattering price to appear in a concert
TO be given this evening at the aTmory'
when the noted tenor, il. Evans WllllaInS'
and Danieh PrOtherOe will also appear.
The Sunday night concert given in the
immense natural ampitheatTe by Ellery
band, which has so lately captivated Salt
Lake audiences, in conjunction with the
Tabernacle choir, was pronounced the
grandest success up to date at the expo

What Seattle Said.
Building better than they knew when

the managers Of the Alaska ukoIl -l.55

that has ever gathered in one spot Tor a
concert, or any single ceremony, since the
fair opened when the opening overture
from Tannhauser was played 70 more
than 10000 persons at the natural theatre
last evening.
Chose who witnessed the gathering at
this same spot when the opening cere-
monies of the fair were IN progress June
l. and also when the Dixie day crowd APP
peared. concluded that they had seen the
capacity Of the great amphItneatre
reached but that was before the COM
bination concert had been arranged ahc
carried to so successful a result.
THE weather was absolutely perfect
and when the moon came out full Just
as Director TaddeO di GiralOmO raised
his baton for the opening number, tne
most perfect picture imaginable broke
into view Starting to the left Of the
stage setting picture, the moon, in its
fullest glory and rOtundity, moved its
great searChlight slowly across the
waters Of Lake Washington from north
to south. in a strip of light a quarter
mile wide until its last golden reflec-
ton died with the last note of melody
