service and better attractions than
ever before brought out immense
crowds to all of the resorts yesterday,
and from every point of view the day
was a success. Patrons who realize
that Salt Lake has more to offer in the
way of pleasure resorts than any other
city of its size in the world took adj
vantage of their opportunities in such
numbers that gate receipts for May
80, 1910, were larger at Saltair, La
COON, Wandamere, Emigration canyon
and Salt Palace than they have been
on the opening day for many years.
Attendance at Saltair was estimated
at close to 10000, while Lagoon en-
tertained more than half that num-
Der, and nearly 5000 passed the gates
at Wandamere during the day and
evening. Emigration canyon, with
thirty minute car service. was popular
with hundreds, and Salt Palace and
Liberty park did their share towards
depopulating the residence part Of the
city after midday.
Saitair's improvements this season
We're noted by the thousands of visit
ors, and better service in every de-
partment has been provided by the
management
The Leviathan restaurant, providing
service equal to the best restaurants of
the country, has been redecorated IN
excellent taste, and Professor J. j.
McClellan's symphony orchestra, COM
posed of some of the most talented
musicians OF the city, is again one of
the great drawing cards at the lake
resort. This orchestra, with Professor
Mcclellan at the piano, includes such
well known TaTGiPianG q Fred MTdc-

Cafeteria at Saltair.
One of the improvements which is
most popular with the masses who
visit SaItair is the cafeteria, where. on
the main floor of the pavilion, excel
lent service is given at moderate
prices.
More than 500 visitors at Saltair
yesterday forgot that it was only May
80 and, considering their feelings and
desires rather than The calendar, tried
some of the finest bathing in the
world. Those who braved the first
shock of a dip found it was really no
the water was IA degrees, and this. by
the way, is 10 degrees higher than on
May 80 last year, and no cooler than
is to be found many days in midsum-
mer when an off-shore breeze is blow
ing.
New bath houses, built further in
shore, are in charge of attendants at
all times. The bathers receive tags in
dicating the numbers of their rooms,

kept by the attendants.
Indians Remain Over
The Indian village in the Hippo
drome was a source of entertain
ment and instruction for several hun
dred who saw the afternoon and even
ing performance and, today being
rald-Republican day at Saltair.
the management decided to keep the
company of Indians over for another
day for at least two more exhibitions.
The band of a dozen braves and half
as many souaws, go through a pro-
gram of dances, weird and grotesque
as they are interesting, and their
performance concludes with an Indian
wedding with all of the tribal cere-
monies
First here is the wedding dance by
all of the braves; then comes the in

brother. Bringing of gifts from the
wigwams and placing them at the feet
of the bride and bridegroom form
other interesting parts of the Cere-
mony. An interesting feature of the
Indian show was seen yesterday aft
ernoon when a slight change in the
program was suggested. It took the
white manager of the show about
three seconds to find that he did not
have word to say about the per-
Torrance. The Indians were giving
that show and they did not propose
TO have any interference. What's
more. nc one interfered with them
and the show was a good one, too.
