FLEETWOOD SPRINGS, Colo, May g.
President Roosevelt returned 10 dvihEa-
ton to-day over the mountain route He
brought back with him the pelts Of four
bears and two bobcats, a deep tan that
will take days to wear OF and an appetite
that IL simply marvellous. The President
arrived at Glenwood Springs at $50 O'Clock
this afternoon, having been in the saddle
since early morning. The ride was tedious
and at times difficult. and for an ordinary
man II would have been hazardous. Mr..
Roosevelt and his companions covered a
distance Of more than fifty miles over the
mountains along winding trails and through
stretches Of road that were little better
than mud puddles.
But the President was happy and satisfied
He got the essentials Of the trip, a success
full hunt and long rest.
I'VE have had great luck-ten bear and
four bobcats. We certainly enjoyed our
selves, he said TO the party Of horsemen
that rode out to meet him.
Mr.. Roosevelt was accompanied on his
long ride from the camp in West Divide
by DR.. Lambert Of New York and Philip
B. Stewart Of Colorado Springs, both
personal friends and his companions at
the chase. The pack train, in charge Of
Guides Jake Borah and John Con, followed
about two miles behind. Despite the
strenuous exercise Of the last three weeks,
the President did not complain Of fatigue
when he reached Glenwood. Instead he
made ready for a busy afternoon.
He went to the vapor baths accompanied
by DR.. Lambert and Mr., Stewart and then
took luncheon At $50 he delivered an
address to the villagers from a stand erected
in the hotel park, After that came dinner,
which was served In the banquet room Of
the hotel Colorado. The President spent
the evening with Secretary Loeb going over
affairs Of state and retired early, In the
morning he will attend services at the Pres
byteran church and in the afternoon will
talk 10 the school children Of Glenwood.
In his speech this afternoon the Presi-
dent thanked the people Of Colorado for
his three weeks vacation in the State. He
said that he found the bears all right, both
In quality and quantity, and concluded
with some remarks on the subject Of ir-
rigation,
1T is a great pleasure TO me 10 come here
and say a word OF greeting TO you, and,
Mr.. Mayor, let me take this first chance OF
thanking the people OF Colorado for a three
weeks holiday that can assure them l
have enjoyed TO the full he said. I'VE
found the bears all right in quality and In
quantity. / have been out with a first
class type Of Colorado citizen In that Of
Jake BOrah and John Gon.'
Il was a picturesque Trio that rounded
a curve In the mountain road In sight Of
the crowd that went out TO meet the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt was dressed In a dark
brown duck suit. He wore rough leggins
that were held in place by twine. On his
head he sported the old gray hat that has
seen service on like journeys before. He
and his companions were despatched
with mud from head 10 foot
The Presidents mount was the white
stallion that he rode into the mountains
three weeks ago and the one that he used
whenever possible on the hunt. The ami
NAL is normally milky white, but to-day
he was transformed by the Colorado mud
into dirty yellow. He didn't look worth
his feed, but the President said he was
surefooted speedy and that he was the
mount for the occasion.
The lonesome highway Of this morning
bet ween New Castle and Glenwood was
transformed this afternoon into a populous
thoroughfare. Everybody who could be
spared in the surrounding country took a
holiday. The wealthy ranch owners, the
mountaineer, the cowboy and the cowgirl,
as well as the village folks nom Glenwood,
Rife, Aspen and other places in this vicinity
were on hand TO cheer the President on his
way. The chief executive was pleased
with the greeting and was most cordial
in acknowledging Il.
At the Hotel Colorado the President was
received by at least 1000 people, ire
mendous crowd for these parts.
The Presidential party has been more
successful than any band Of hunters that
has gone into the big game country Of
Colorado so far this season. Ten beans
and four bobcats are the result -Four
Of the finest beam we're brought down by
Mr.. Roosevelt, Mr.. Roosevelt IL in fine
health. He had a slight attack Of noun
tain fever last week, which gave ise to the
reports that he was seriously III.
For the first two weeks Of their stay in
the Rockies the party was favored with
ideal weather. Last week heavy weather
set IN and rain and snow prevented any
sport the better part Of the time.
