Sentially social event, however, and
the immense gathering from every state

really owes its popularity to the fact

The arrangements for rapid, careful
handling of incoming trains is as per-
| feet as ever seen in the history of rail-
! roading. Officials high in authority
state that never before was so large a
crowd of people so safely handled at
the thousands alighted at the union
depot, the past few days. over the five
trunk lines centering here, no friction
was created. Probably no other city of
Denver's size has better trackage
facilities. Within the city limits are
145 miles of track. AS incoming trains
come to stop, yard engines are hooked
| on, car cleaners get on board, and away
the cars go as soon as the passengers
| tumble Off
The transportation committee is work
ing without hitch, and the baggage
of the knights is transferred directly
| from the cars onto the transfer wagons,
by which it is hurried to the different
hotels, very frequently reaching its des-
tlnatlOn in the city before the visitors
| themselves.
