[Diary of Second Counselor John Henry Smith] Salt Lake City and Richfield, Utah
The County fair is being held here. We went out and saw Races and some Broncho horses rode.
I put up at Prest. W. H. Seegmiller home.
We went to the fair and witnessed some strange scenes, boys smoking and some Profanity. (1)
