Show BOYDEN WELL PLEASED WITH WORLD'S FAIR Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Boydcn and Miss Helen Hoyden returned this week from their five week's trip to the coast. They report having had an unusually enjoyable trip. The first week was spent at Mr. Boyden's boyhood boy-hood home in northern California, the latter four weeks at Berkeley across the bay from San Francisco, where Mr. Boydeu attended school at the University of California. A number num-ber of Sanpete teachers were at the school including Miss Nellie- McAr-thur, McAr-thur, Miss Margaret Thurman, and Louis Peterson of Mt. Pleasant, Supt. Reid and Principal Ellis Johnson and six or eight others of Manti. It is one of the noted schols of the United States and this year will be the largest larg-est registration of any school in the world, if the fall attendance is normal. nor-mal. Many notqd instructors are there this summer, the music department, depart-ment, in which Mr. Hoyden was enrolled en-rolled in six classes, being especially well eyuiped with capable teachers. Of the Fair at San Francisco they speak in glowing terms. Mr. Boy-den Boy-den has prepared a brief statement of it for the Pyramid as follows: The report has been spread around the county (I heard it before leaving Utah) that the Exposition is a fake; that it does not enual former Expositions; Exposi-tions; it is only a hold-up aud a lot more such trash. Let me again, say in the beginning that all such talk is worse than nonsense. I had the good fortune to spend 2 weeks at the St. Louis Exposition jn 1902. That was a wonderful exhibit, by long odds the greatest ever held up to that time. One hour inside the grounds of the present San Francisco Exposition Exposi-tion convinced me that it is far and away ahead of the St. Louis show as great as that was in almost every particular; that it is inconceivably magnificent, indescribably beautiful and stupendous in size beyond compare. com-pare. In short, it is a wonderful success suc-cess as a World's Fair; which is saying say-ing a great deal. An attempt to describe it in detail would take pages of space; more than any newspaper could spare in a year. The first sight of the. grounds as one enters through the main gate almost takes the breath away, so gorgeously gor-geously beautiful is it. The splendid Tower of Jewels. 37 stories high, glistening glis-tening and glittering in the splendid sunlight of a perfect day like a great obelisk by brilliant gems faces you from the oilier side of a spacious court. To the riht and left or tin towers stand ihe Exposition buildings proper ih ni' ehes monstnr.is in size ;iud perfect models of a rcli Meet lire. Tile court formed by these buildings is a vast flower garden wiili a bewildering bewil-dering array of brirlit ( olors. The general exhibils are -very fine nileeil the world's best ill everything, every-thing, almost. There the state build- -r : all creditable. The Canadian building shows probably the best of the semi-private displays, with California Cali-fornia a close second. Utah is fair, the exhibit, being divided, not to any advantage. ad-vantage. All the usual attractions are there in all glory, music, sports, zone, attractions, at-tractions, etc., etc., the best the world ever saw. ' It is not an expensive trip to make, with enough time to see everything, and it is well worth any person's time and money. |
