The serving serv-ing began at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. after-noon. At 6 o'clock the bread was all out. and by 7 o'clock the meat also had vanished. A large number of people were served after the bread had given out, but it is estimated that over 13,000 sandwiches were served.

Besides the barbecue the general run of sports and amusements to be enjoyed at Saltalr were taken up all during the day. The shows were all well attended, and many bathers "took the waters." Dancing was the feature of the evening. The train ser--vice was good all day long, and in the evening it was necessary to get. extra coaches from the San Pedro, Los Angeles An-geles & Salt Lake line to accommodate the crowds. The field events were called off because be-cause of the water which now surrounds sur-rounds the pavilion. The ball game between the butchers and the grocers was also declared off. .
