Mr.. Cook, manager Of the Rock
Creek and Fort Custer stage line, and
Mrs. Cook, Rock Creek.
The singing was conducted by Prof.
Bennett, assisted by G. N. Potter and
wife, Miss Clara Graham, Miss Helen
Patterson and r. E. Heath, and some
excellent music was held.
Harry Robinson, the ever obliging
conductor on that road, did all in his
power to make the trip a pleasant one,
and landed the train at the Union de-
pot in just four hours after it left Chey-
enne, without once raising a hot box.
The various members Of the legisla-
tive body busted themselves in various
ways Capt. Quinn became engaged in
a spirited discussion upon the merits of
the Lords prayer, while Hines, with
his family in the second car, pinned for
that hat he left behind him in the
bachelors car which followed the ten
der, floating through the fragrant
smoke of many a fragant weed came
waited spiritual songs rendered in
a spirited manner by the various masi-
clans, who were in fact as various as
their music.
Councilman McGregor, besides
doing the gallant to his party, studied
the miscellaneous construction of Gree
ley pillows and meditated upon the
good water works. County clerk JEFF
frey watched us manipulate our note
book and allowed that it was a book of
deeds which would not stand trial. Mr..
Buechener allowed that was a jewel of
a day, but he had as much as he could
attend to to watch the rest of the
party. Father Hays, Rev. Sanders and
Chamberlain had their hands full in
keeping up the dignity of the occasion.
Otherwise it would have to stand alone
for the rest had no use for it, and it is
an open question whether the reverend
gentleman didn't just smile nee or
twice.
AS the party drew near Denver the
long black line of mountain tops which
had been prominent during the most of
the day began to grow more so and
assume the dignity Of the snow capped.
The reccurrance of machine and nan
ufacturing establishments announced
the suburbs of Denver, and at about l
O'Clock the special pnlled up alongside
the new Union depot and our numerous
party alighted and made a grand parade
for the long line of buses and hacks
which was to carry US to the st. James,
where most of the party stopped.
In the office f o this well-kept estab-
lishment was a scene of confusion, and
for half-an-hour after the arrival Of the
party, all of which was trying to get a
chance at the register, as eager and
unmanageable as the line of anxious
youths and lasses at the p. o. delivery
windows on st. Valentines day; and
amidst the confusion one might hear
an occasional comment, sis all Chey-
enne" down here" or "are all these
mavericks broke loose?"
Here we run across our tOwnsmon
N. Robertson, as anxious as anxious as
aver to furnish Cheyenne with water
ON the square yard. Abe, Underwood,
of the old firm of Underwood & Nc
Gregor, dropped in to give his friends a
shake, as small and a. lively as ever.
On the street we met II. E. Hurlbut,
as glad to see Cheyenne faces as Chey-
enneites were to meet him; and in
company with Tribune Rhodes we
and a skylight and meditated upon the
probable ''fate of the fellow who wrote
that article" if the other fellow should
be the largest and bounced the editor,
Visscher, over the bannister; but our
meditations were interrupted by the
melodious voice Of Will Visscher, in
answer to our rap upon the sanctum
door, and entering we found Visscher
as hard at work with the shears as ever
suffering, as it were, from shear ex-
haustion. His new Hello is proving
quite a success. $50 copies were sold
on the streets on the day of publication.
We had scarcely got out on the street
when we met Robert Strahorn. and by
his courtesy was treated to a pleasant
drive about the city, a party of news
paper cranks, made up of Strahorn,
Tom Dawson, of the Times, Visscher,
of the Great West, and Hello, Blyden-
burg, of the Carbon county Journal
and the LEADER man. The drive de.
veloped the fact that Denver is all that
is claimed for it in regard to growth
and wealth. There are numerous hand
some dwellings, which bespeak bonan-
zas, and the encroachment of city lots
upon the prairie talks emphatically OF
rapid growth.
Workmen are still working upon the
opera house block, which will be one
of the finest buildings in the whole
west when completed.
During the evening most of the
party enjoyed an hour at the opera
house, the Veteran being on the boards
by the McAllister company. The work
of the company is much better than
their selection of plays. The beautiful,
i~nteaior Of the opera house has beer
discoursed upon often, but not toe
much could be said in its praise.
We leave for Leadville. by a special,
at 7 O'Clock this morning. CLARK.
