Here they visited the great Mormon Temple. During their two day
stand they made a trip out to the Great Salt Lake where Teddy
Tucker insisted in going in swimming. His surprise was great
when he found that he could not swim at all in the thick,
salty water.
The trip over the mountains, through the wonderful scenery of the
Rockies and the deep canyons where the sunlight seldom reaches
was one of unending interest to them.
Most of the show people had been over this same ground with other
circuses many times before, for there are few corners of the
civilized world that the seasoned showman has not visited at
least once in his life.
It was all new to the Circus Boys, however, and in the long day
trips over mountain and plain, they found themselves fully
occupied with the new, entrancing scenes.
By this time both lads had become really finished performers in
their various acts, and they had gone on through the greater part
of the season without serious accident in their work. Of course
they had had tumbles, as all showmen do, but somehow they managed
to come off with whole skins.
For a time after the wreck of the accommodation car the show had
no further trouble that could be laid at the door of Red Larry
or his partner.
