Show i THE CLOSING SCENES s The Last Day of the Utah Exposition Expo-sition h WINNER OP THE BEAUTY PIIIZE The Awards Made but the Lists Uncompleted They Will Be Ready in a f Few Das s The managers of the exposition were somewhat disappointed when the closing hour arrived last night in learning that the attendance had fallen considerably below that of any other day They had anticipated antici-pated that yesterday would bo the heaviest day since the fair began However the falling off in attendance is not to be wou dcred at Wo venture to say ihattbercarc very few indeed who have been within the I limits of Salt Lake city since last Wednesday i Wednes-day but who have visited the exposition One would have thought from the stream of humanity which continually poured in and out of tho grounds during the early part of yesterday afternoon that the attendance of yesterday would be swollen to far above that of previous da sIt s-It was no doubt this heavy attendance during tho two or three hours that gave the managers reason to believe their receipts re-ceipts would reach far above any other day Toward the latter part of the afternoon after-noon the people became scarcer and scarcer around tho grounds until at 530 there wore but very few coming in while a greater number were leaving and by 030 attendance had dwindled down to a r < scattering few About this time however people again commenced to arrive but not for long All in all it was very successful day The attcndants had an opportunity of enjoying I en-joying their visit better than those on previous pre-vious days for the reason thatJhe building was not uncomfortably filled Very few articles on exhibition were removed during the day In fact outside of the live stock there was nothing missing which would cut any figure either one way or another ano-ther The live stock however wa mostly taken away before 5 oclock There were no particular features such as contests etc during the day with the exception of awarding a prize to the prettiest girl on the grounds and a minor grammar contest which was continued over from the day before The band furnished excellent music and kept the people in good spirits by
