What the Newspaper Men Think OF
DenisOn's Entertainment.
Defiance Enterprise

TINS PlaCe 10 benson ueSday to see Pres
ident Roosevelt. There would have been
very large delegation had the weather
not been SO unfavorable and the roads in
wretched condition. Going by train ne
|ressiiated being two nights away from
home two nights which made the expense
of the trip double what it would have been
However there were number who deter
mined to see the president and nothing
daunted by expense they left here Monday
night and returned wednesday morning,
They all were pleased They heard and
saw the president and several other not
ables among whom the Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, Secretary Wilson, Repre-
sentative Deliver, Senator Beveridge Of
Indiania and Senator Allison. The ar
rangements as previously published were
carried out without hitch. The city was
handsomely decorated, and Denison en-
tertained her visitors in right royal man
ner. Five bands were present, and also
the Acknowledgements from Sac City
sac sun.
Including the members of company M
Fifty-sixth reg iment, Iowa National guard
no less than 3os persons boarded the ex-
cursion train at Sac City for Denis N.
The opportunity of seeing and hearing
| President Roosevelt was the chief attrac-
ton, but the fact that the oratorical con-
test and athletic contest of the Sac. City
institute, Denison Normal School, Buena
Vista college and western Union college
we're to take place in Denison the same
| day added to the interest in the excursion
on the part of Sac City people. Despite
the promises made the railroad authorities
by Agent LANG they leftitwo small coach
es in Sac City on Monday, and when the
| train arrived from the south in the morn
ing it contained one additional small coach
and combination baggage and smoking
car already filled with passengers. The Sac
City party of over three hundred was
necessarily crowded into little more room
than that Of two coaches The train left
at 6:2o a. m. and arrived in Denison while
the President was at breakfast
Company M, under Captain Parker, re-
ported promptly for duty. Nothwithstand-
ing the mud the company escorted the
Presidential party over part of the city
and then returned to the Illinois Central
depot to take care of the crowd at the
place where the President would speak.
An immense crowd was in the city, per-
haps ten thousand people, but all had a
chance to see and practically all chance
to hear him.
The school children of Denisou were
massed near the speaking stand and just
before the President arose to speak a
party of children released a flock of white
doves that flew over the heads of the
people alighting in some instances upon
their children, 1t was pretty incident
The President referred pleasantly to the
presence of the children and to the COM
pany of the national guard.

it was very cloudy and cool and the roads

that they enjoyed the day in fine shape.
All who heard and saw the President were
favorably impressed::with him 1t is esti-
mated that about II 900 people were there
