An ideal Any, the finest boat the lake has known in j-ears, a skipper that is a pastmaster in his line, and the best of entertainment on board contributed, principally to the success of the day. Aside from tho pleasure of a twelve-hour twelve-hour run on tho Irene tho excursion resulted re-sulted in a movement for advertising the various points of interest about the lako and tho lake itself as it has probably prob-ably novcr been advertised before. The Great Salt Lake association is the name of the organization formed in mid-lake Tuesday al'icrnoon by the business busi-ness men on board the Irene.

A special train took tho crowd to the lake at S o'clock and at 9:30 tho Irene, Captain Anderson 's new boat, left the dock at the pavilion and pushed her nose out into the light mist which hung over the heavv surface of the water. The Irene is the smoothest sailing, stannehest litlle craft Saltair has boasted boast-ed in a good many -ears. With the thir-, thir-, tv-fivo passengers and the crow there was still plent3" of room. Up past Antelope Island aud around the point until the Lucin cut-off loomed up sailed the partv. At noon the Ireno tied up at the raid -lake station on the. cut-'off. A half hour's rest and Bird tvi.w1 i,nn'lol fur Tlie -writer was deep enough to permit the Irene to laud the parly on the island without using the dorv. The sight on that island beggars beg-gars description. It would be folly to attempt to estimate the number ot birds pelicans, sea gulls and cranes that rose from the rocks as the Irene moored. The air was black with them during tho two hours the party remained. re-mained. Hurrv Shipler took three f or four group pictures, and at 4 o'clock the boat headed for Hat island.
