stations as they had as soon as the
Utah expedition was determined upon
by the government. Consequently,
there were no mail facilities, and for
that reason We made this trip, TO take
back the bills Of ladinE for supplies

took him on ana moved across the

was seen OF the pony and rider they
were flying over the prairies-
The First Pony Express.
This was on April 3, 1850, at
o'clock p. m The pony express was
met at Sacramento, Cal. by a great
concourse Of people with bonffres on
the streets and huzzas for the rider
and pony. The last rider on the line.
which terminated at the Sacramento
river, was made by Jimmy Monahan,
a Sacramento boy Is years old. on a
fleet footed little pony; and no sooner
had the rider delivered his mail on
the waiting san Francisco steam boat
and remounted his pony than he was
seized by the rejoicing multitude and
carried through the streets on mems
shoulders and his pony was soon dec

ribbons and flowers.

and hazardous undertaking. proved a
