/ GLENwooD SPRINGS. Col. May 7.--Presi-
dent Roosevelt spent Sunday much a. no
does when at home in Oyster Bay or a
the White House In Washington. He at.
tended church in the morning took drive
IN tho afternoon and had dinner At The
usual hour.
The only variation in the Sunday pro-
gram was an address this afternoon.
At dinner tonight the President had a.
his guests the scouts who accompanied
him on his three weeks hunt In the Rockies,
Secretary Loeb, DR.. Lambert Of New York
and Phil Stewart Of Colorado Springs.
After dinner the President boarded the
private car Rocket, on which be VIII spend
the night He said farewell to the scouts
on the car, and they left him expressing the
hope that he would come back soon and
stay longer.
Tonight in the banquet hall OF the Hotel
Colorado there was a fitting climax TO the
most successful hunt Of reoent years IN
the big game section Of the Rockies and to
the most enjoyable outing that Mr.. Roose-
welt has had In years. The Presidents
guests Of honor were the hardy hunters
whose zeal and perseverance made It pos
sible to a great extent for the Presidents
party 20 quit the mountains with the alb
normally large bag Of ten beans and four
bob cats.
The hunt was run all over again at the
dinner, and each and every bear and bob
cat was slaughtered anew. Old Jake
Borah. the famous Colorado guide, sat on
the night OF the President, while Johnny
Goff, next only to Borah in importance,
Eat at his left Scout Wells, the third guide.
was there, athred in a hickory shirt and a
brand new pair Of blue jeans. His only
concession to the occasion was a flaming
red tie that could be seen at ten miles on a
dark night in the mountains
Jack Fry and Bill Sprague were dressed
In their hunting toys. Elmer Chapman,
who has gained fame a. the Presidents
courier. borrowed a suit OF store clothes,
and he had to stand a round Of abuse from
his comrades on account Of his elaborate
toilet
There was only one dude at the dinner.
That was Secretary Loeb 1t lie true that
DR.. Alexander Lambert and Phil Stewart
were present, but they were numbered
among the boys Secretary Loeb won the
reputation Of being a dude on his first visit
10 Camp Roosevelt. but he began TO live II
down as his visits became more frequent.
Tonight he was ohristened the scout, and
on motion Of Chapman he was voted all
right and a jolly good fellow.
President Roosevelt attended services ~
the Presb terrain Church. The edihce was
not large enough to accommodate one
enth Of those who applied for admission.
The pastor, the Rev. Mr.. CufTens. delivered
the sermon, taking for his theme The
Responsibility Of the Christian Church
The President walked TO and from church,
hitting up a clip that astonished the natives
and that required the members Of the party
who accompanied him TO break into trot.
He was warmly greeted by the villagers,
Who out Of respect for the day, expressed
their enthusiasm by uncovering their heads
and bowling good naturally as he passed
along. On his way back from church the
President stopped at the shop OF TaIider-
mist Frank Hayes to zee the pelts, trophies
Of the h, mt. He showed the greatest de-
light on beholding the skins, and went over
them with great care.
The pure type Of the grizzly was not seen
in the hunt. but the Presidents pelts are
remarkably fine specimens He examined
the skulls, and used technical terms in de-
scribing them that astonished the taxider-
mist. For several days there has been in
the window Of the tAxidermist's shop a
plaster cast Of the track Of the first bear
pulled down by the President. This was
one Of the irst things that caught bis eye
as he entered the shop.
i had no idea that the old fellow left
such track, he said.
1t would make a fine card receiver for
the Democratic Senators who call at the
White House, said Phil Stewart.
Yes. it would responded the President
with an amused smile.
b. Mr. Roosevelt directed that the pelts be
mounted close mot ID instead Of open
mouthed az was planned. They are much
better that way. hs said to the tS1idermist
You know your business, Mr.. President,-
said the taIidermist. The tenderfoot
wants pelts opened mouthsd, but the real
thing knows better
President Roosevelt will take back 70
Washington one Of the best crackers in
Rarshs pack. This il a black and tan
terrier Of uncertain breed that caught the
fancy Of the President and old Jake insisted
that Skip should go East. Skip showed
great staying qualities in the hunt. When
the other animals were winded aud ready
TO quit Skip wanted more fun. The Prosi-
dent was glad 20 get the game little dog.
Much against his will the President de-
lvered a brief address to-day. Persons
began pouring into Glenwood early In the
morning and by noon there was q large
crowd at the hotel. Word was sent In that
there would be great disappointment II the
President would not accept and make .
few remarks. Ths President yislded, speak
ing as follows;

the pleasure Of meeting you to-day, and.
