turn From the Big
Exposition.
ARE TREATED ROYALTY
HIGH SCHOOL CADETS FIND FA-
VoR FROM ALL QUARTERS.

Governor William Spry and staff re-
turned last evening from the Alaska
fukon-Pacific exposition at Seattle Each
member of the party was enthusiastic
over the fair and proud of Utah's part in
H. ne Seattle exposition, they say, Is
an Jnat X has been said to be and more,
anu It's officials are the persOnification
of hospitality.
The governors party left Seattle on
saturday evening, and knew nothing OF
JIle controversy between the tabernacle
chOlr and the Seattle eisteddfod manage
ienI, the result of which was that the
cnOlr refused TO sing at the eisteddfOd.
1nelr first knowledge Of the trouble was
received the next morning through the
newspapers. The governor and his staff
sun know nothing of the details of the
trouble save what they have learned
through the papers, but they are en-
phatic in the statement that the eXpOsi-
lion officials had nothing to do with
the trouble
The trip to Seattle and back was a de-
igntIul one, and the entertainment at
the fair was decidedly pleasant All of
the governors party returned last night
save Col. H. +. Booth, who viii remain
at the fair several days. Governor Spry
and Mrs. Spry, Col. Rodney T. Badger
and Mrs. Badger were the guests Of Col
D. G. lacking in the private car Gu
prum." The other members Of the staff
and their wives occupied special Pull
fTlan.
Gtah day at the fair was a great sue
cess, and the party attributes tt S fact
equally to the excellence of UtaU's ex-
hibts and to the courtesy and hospitality
of the board of managers of the fair. The
cadets from the Salt Lake high school
made q great hiL
Speaking of the trip, Governor Spry
said last night:
Delightful Trip.
1T was a delightful trip. and our visit
in Seattle was as pleasant as it was

treated with the greatest possible courtesy
and hospitality. While we were in Seattle
there was not one thing 20 mar the pleas

I'VE left Seattle on Saturday night. so
knew nothing of the unfortunate cOntro-
versy into which the tabernacle choir was
brought until the next cay One thing
is certain. and that is, that exposition
officials were in no way party to the
trouble The exposition officials are eX-
cellelt gentlemen and are far above any
thing like the treatment the choir Is re-
ported to have received from the eistedd-
fod management am positive that had
the exposition management had anything
TO do with the eisteddfod the incident
would never have occurred.
You cannot say too much for the
treatment which was accorded the gov

Cadets Capture Fair.
"The high school cadets captured the
fair and the city OF Seattle. Though ii
rained the first two days we We're in
Seattle, the rain damped neither the ardor
of the cadets nor the enthusiasm of their
admirers. At the invitation of Admiral
Sebrie, the cadets visited the Pacific
fleet They were divided into squads and
taken aboard the different vessels. on
their return to shore they marched down
the streets of the city. This was their
first appearance on the streets of Seattle,
and they We're greeted by a hundred thou
sand people, who applauded them all
along the line of march.
THE cadets leave Seattle tomorrow, and
on the invitation of the mayor and the
Commercial club of Portland will stop
a day in that city.
we We're all well satisfied with the
Utah building and the Utah exhibits. The
building impresses itself on everyone who
sees it. While there may be some who
would wish that Utah might be repre-
scented by a building more beautiful and
more modern, I think that when 1t Is
understood that the building is erected
in memory of a dead race that once in
habited Utah there can be no criticism
of the design. To students of history the
building is of especial interest. Both the
building and the exhibits received words
of praise from thousands of visitors daily
Every Utah person at the fair is de-
lighted with the fair and can't say toe
much for the courteous treatment OF
everyone connected with the exposition.
