 DEAR CHAMPION: = Your Will Hams correspondent has just re- turned from pleasant trip to the Grand Canyon, aud has her head completely turned in trying to realize something of its beauty and grandeur, which is beyond the comprehension of mere mortals, burdened as they are with the weight of their own ponderous in- dividuality. In standing on the brink of this wonderful precipice, one does not seem to realize its but rather their own in- significance. How tame mere words sound in speaking of the Grand Canyon! for should you call together the strongest epithets of the English language, they would seem insufficient to convey the meaning you had chosen them for. One can only reiterate; What are the works of man, that he should boast of them, when in thls ohasm may be seen wonderful cities, with grand cathedrals, that in comparison the works of man would seem mere child's play.
 Your correspondent visited the canyon under very favorable cir cumstances. A merry crowd of us reached MT. Hance's place just in time to see the sun set. l am sorry to do irreverence to the great day star, but 1t surely does look smaller setting over the Grand Canyon than elsewhere.
 When we could no longer see the wonders beneath us, we re- paired to camp for supper and nap, for one will get hungry and sleepy even there.
 We were up betimes the next morning. After a hurried cup of coffee we ran to the cliffs to see the sun rise. It was very beautiful, but I think twilight over the can> yon is grandest of all. We had planned a trip to the river for the day, but were all tired; gave it up and visited MT. Hull instead, and surely we had no cause to re- gret the change, for MT. Hull is an admirable host, and was ably assisted by his young foreman, MT. Curly Wallace. Your corre> spondent had the pleasure of as- sisting in the christening of handsome dinner set. The after noon we spent in horseback rid ing, climbing cliffs, rolling rocks, etc., etc.
 The second morning dawned cool and clear, though I confess I had some misgivings about going into the canyon; but said nothing of them. There were three ladies and five gentlemen in our party, and jollier crew it would be hard to find. The descent over the first part of the trail was made quite rapidly; then our speed was visibly slackened; for, to say the least of it, 1t was getting warm. Owing to a recent shower, how ever, we found water in different places. We reached MT. Harris just at IF o'clock, when, after what that worthy gentleman pro- nounced a very meager lunch, we enjoyed ourselves for a couple of hours, throwing water over each other, recounting our forenoon's adventures, and riding the incest little burro. At 2 o'clock our guide told us 1t was time to start for home. as we had given up go- ing to the river. We were just five hours climbing the hill, which gave our strength a thorough test. Still, we were just as happy as ever when we reached the top, where the title of Good Samaritan WAS unanimously bestowed upon Charlie McGary, and not unde- served, for he had played the part to perfection.
