Spry's Address. During the address of Mr. McAllister, McAllis-ter, Gov. William Spry anived on the grounds.'and' was ushered into the pavilion pa-vilion In time to respond to his name. The address of of the Utuh executive was a masterful effort and the speaker speak-er was frequently interrupted by applause. ap-plause. Tho appearance of the governor gov-ernor was greeted with handclapping and encoring. "I feel that I owe you people an apology for not getting here earlier. ' said the state executive. "I did not reach Salt Lake until this morning, and this morning the governor of New Jersey dropped in on me. I couldn't very well shake him, so I arranged for him to call on me again after his return from the Yellowstone park. "1 am pleased to meet with tho good people of Ogden and Salt Lake City and more pleased to nieot with Ogden and Salt Lake people at this 'get together evonL' I like the Idea of get together better than 'get acquainted'; ac-quainted'; we have been acquainted for some time, but we haven't gotten together. In this case it is different; it is now up to the people of the two blggst cities In the state to get together to-gether and stay together There is no reason why they should not have done so years ago. "To a marked degree the dispositions disposi-tions of the Ogden and Salt Lake people peo-ple are the same, their resources are the same and it Is time that both put their shoulders to the wheel and pushed for a bigger and better state. We have hero in Utah the greatest resources of any state In the union. This does not pass from the lips of Utahns alone, for a few days ago a man from the east, who has plenty of money to invest, told me that in the future he would keep two or three men in Utah looking up the favorable chances for opportunities to Invest piofltably. "We have been torn asunder more or less by local disagreements, but those days are passed. Wherever I go throughout the Btate I find a disposition dis-position which will bring men and women together, relying on each other and agreeing to work for the common end for the upbuilding of Utah So Te have become one people, with one disposition, one idea and one aim That means that hereafter we will serve notice on the people of the outside out-side world that there are no dlssen-tions. dlssen-tions. no differences and that we are one great people working for the betterment bet-terment and upbuilding of people everywhere. "I want to say that the commingling comming-ling of children, one with another, in the public schools, nine months i year, is to my mind the greatest factor fac-tor to the common good, and that this alone will solve the problem of the past When our boys and girls become be-come men and women of tomorrow they will know no differences, they will be forgetful of those things which disturbed their parents. They will go on making a success of their community com-munity and a success of their state I am for the co-education of the boys and girls of today "We have not gotten well pnough acquainted in the past, wo have believed be-lieved the other fellow a scoundrel You will find that Mormon and non Mormon are getting better acquainted. When wo have learned to enjoy the real jo of life as coming from tho confidence of existence wc will wonder won-der whj we have been so many years getting together. "I am glad to see tho business men getting together With some it means a life's effort, men like Mr. Browning and Mayor Glasmann have striven long for this condition. "I have no hesitancy ln saying that if my administration can be marked for no other thing, If it can be said of me, when the plank has been shoed out and I1 am asked to walk it, it will be my greatest comfort to know that the people believe I have done what I could to get the people together." Talks on Chautauqua. Although not mentioned in the official of-ficial program originally arranged by tho committee, Rev. Frederick Vlning Fisher, pastor of the First Methodist church, was called upon for a talk regarding tho Utah Chautauqua boon to bo held in this city. Before entering upon his remarks regarding the state assembly to be held, the pastor commented briefly on the spirit and object of the big gathering "I have been told that thib was a funeral, and I have been presiding at funerals all my life, but I think that it is a marriage," said the minister. "When a Gentile major and a Mormon governor join hands they need a Methodist minister to make the clasp firm, and I urn here tor that purpose today " The remark was met with uproarious uproari-ous applause, which testified to its nppropiiatenoss. Rev. Fisher then told the audience of the talent and the big days which will mark the big Chautauqua assembly. J. S. Carver Extends Thanks. The last speaker on the program was J. S. Carver, chairman of tho state pure foodt bureau, and one of the most active workers in the arrangement ar-rangement of tho bJg twin city outing. out-ing. The object of his nddres's was to thank all those who had absisted in making the outing a success, and he mentioned in particular the inei-chants, inei-chants, manuiacturers and ladles of tho Utah Home Industry association Among other things the day was productive of a "national hymn" for Salt Lake and Ogden. Chaiimau Browning proposed it and at the close of the program, in response to his request, re-quest, the Held band played "Put Your Arras Around Mo " The suggestion sugges-tion of this popular ballad, as Indicative Indica-tive of the new feeling between the Utah twin cities was one of the many hits of the day. As a final show of the good feeluu; and fellowship which hnd been established estab-lished some enthusiastic Salt Lake booster proposed three cheers for Ogden, Og-den, and the respoiibe nearly raised the roof from the pavilion Not to be outdone b the genet ositv of theii visitors. visi-tors. Chief Booster Frank Rose proposed pro-posed a similar salutation for Salt Lake and Ogenltes joined just As hist-ily hist-ily as their visitors had done a mo-mont mo-mont previous. Program of Sports. The next feature of the day's program pro-gram was the sports, which producea endless fun. This was followed by an exhibition of driving cub bears to a wagon, The young brutes, unaccustomed unaccus-tomed to such' a ma3s of humanity, proceeded to mako life miserable for their trainers and the exhibition was not tho pronounced success which the onthusinstic press agent had prophe-sl.ed prophe-sl.ed Whilo the sports woro in progress h great crowd enjoyed the free dancing danc-ing at the open air paUHon This was one of the pleasing entertainments of the day, and hundreds flocked onto the smooth dancing surface in the evoning. The co-operation which marked the big outing from start to finish has no finer illustration than in the efforts of the transportation companies to make tho various Journeys to and from the canyon as rapid and pleasant as possible. In this respect Superintendent Superin-tendent Joseph Bailey of the Ogden Rapid Transit company Is to be Highly High-ly complimented. Thore were a dozen doz-en special cars on hand to meet tho Salt Lake delegation and throughout the entire day an excellent service was maintained between the business district and the Hermitage The Oregon Ore-gon Short Line was also kind to the celebralors, putting on a special train which left for Salt Lake at 10 o'clock last evening.
