The Magnificent Public Buildings

exuberance OF animal spirits which enters
largely into the makeup of he who in
hales the pure mountain air, drinking
with each particle of the ozone a desire to
be moving, to see something, to accom-
plish some task or feat. Though a sharp
breeze swept along the streets and made
the shouts of the hackmen and hotel run
ncIs more audible than ordinarily, many
Of the visitors, unwilling to allow the
smallest opportunity for observation to
escape, walked to the hotels. That pedes-
trianism induces appetite can be we'll
attestcd by the landlords and attaches of
the excellent hotels wherein the healthy
representatives of the cowboy country
were quartered.
A majority Of the delegates were not
strangers to Denver and her many attrac-
lions. OF the permanent points of inter

seeker, the business mar and he whose
ways are dark with the same serious stare;
the great court house is a miniature com
panion piece to Wyoming state house,
while the chamber of commerce is a model
of architectural beauty, and the commodi-
GUS churches are massive affairs.
In response to a general invitation
many of the voyagers visited the offices
Of the two great Denver dailies, the Ncus
and Republican. The most courteous
treatment was accorded the guests, and
non will forget the glimpse of the in
ternal machinery OF a great newspaper
Office. The lightning presses, stereotyp-
ing adiuncts, dozens of job presses, hun
dreds of type cases and scores of compost
tors, together with complete book bind
cries and finely furnished counting and
editorial rooms were a revelation to one
unaccustomed to such sights. The re-
Gently completed Ne,Us Office is perhaps
tie best equipped newspaper establish
ment in the West. OF the merits Of the
two prints as literary productions and
news disseminators nothing will be said
here. Both arc enterprising and some
very bright writers are included in the
stats.
1t is safe to say that the excursionists
literally astonishcd the natives by their
Unborn and long practlced habit of early
rising. Groups of the strangers were
patrolling the streets even before the late
breakfast customary on the Lords day.
The morning meal over, sightseeing was
begun in earnest, Notwithstanding the
disagreeable weather. Carriages were
brought into requisition and the suburbs
visited. The Argo smelter and a number
of machinery and other manufacturing
establishments were viewed under the
guidance of the hospitable Denverites.
The churches were well patronized by
the denizens of this alleged wicked vii,
lage. Moody, the famous evangelist, fer,
vently pleaded with the unconverted IN
the capacious Baptist church, while the
erudite De La Matyr, the eloquent Myron
Reed, the popular Van Ness and well
beloved Father Carr addressed their hocks
and pro ratas of the Cheyennese.
Twas fortunate for the pocket books of
the visitors that the wheels of commerce
were at rest. The ladies viewed the be-
wildering displays of fnery exposed in the
windows Of the u~ntenanted stores, tried
the doors, wished that a good fairy might
change the day for a few hours and passed
sorro Rfully onward, only to smile the
more ioyously at the noxt hating place.
The stocks exhibited were perhaps neither
more extensive nor the fabrics more cost
ly, than at home but they somehow APP
pealed to the hearts of the ladies.
The Salvation Army detachment which
paraded the streets Sunday afternoon was

Despite the bad weather, the worst
feature of the trip, the excursion in Its
entirety was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
