General II. C. Merriam estimates the
crowd on the grounds of the capitol,
at the time of the memorial exercises
on the afternoon of September 10th, at
$4,000 to 10000 He says it was the
largest crowd he ever saw. From n
position OH the platform" said he,
1.-THE vast assembly could be seen per-
haps to better advantage than any
where else, The crowd was very dense
in front of the platform, extending as
far as the capitol and back to Brond-
way. There were 81, 600 or 10000 peo-
pie present when the crowd was larg-
est. 1t was n magnificent assemblagc
and the exercises and parade reflected
the highest credit upon all who partici-
pated. Few cities of the United States
could equal the imposing spectacle pre-
'sented in this city on that OCCASION"

Ornamentation absolutely impossible
in stone or brick. can be made in any
tint either of exterior or interior, and
can be put up far more rapidly than
the present style of building. Promi-
nent eastern architects are quoted as
saying that the invention will revolu-
tionize the building industry in the
United States, and make tile houses
cheaper than frame wherever there
are beds of tile clay. 1t is said that
ten-apartment house was built of the
material complete for $4,000, while
similar ones of brick and stone would
cost in the neighborhood of $4,000.
Tile clay is abundant in Colorado.
