On the sides of the car were fastened handsome show-cases, and a large show-case extended down the centre of the car, al filled with specimens of ores, mineral?, grains, preserved fruit?, samples of cloth, boots and shoes, candies, soaps, wool etc. A sample of fine wool was exhibited, measuring six inches in length. Wheal wa9 shown six feet tall, strawberries three incbes in diameter, and plums as large as hen' eggs. Photographs of numerous l :ngs in Salt Lake city, scenery in the ountains, and along the railroads, were ' exhibited, some of them being very fine. The car was in charge of H. L. A. Culmer and Douglas White, who showed visitors every attention, and spared no pains to make their short stay here one of profit and interest to those who desired a knowledge of the territory they represented. The car left Salt Lake City June C, and will be 90 days in making the trip contemplated, whieh will extend eastward, and through the New England states, then down through the Southern states and back home.
