l how greatly am enjoying my visit to i this beautiful state. l wish that in the last week up in the mountains there i had been htte more weather like this. If there had been think would have gone about two bears better. But still, i as We got ten, I do not think we have i any right to complain. am sure need not tell you how much I enjoyed my holiday here, and how deeply I have appreciated the kindness with which have been treated by the people of your state, the people in your cities and 1 the ranchmen right in the immediate i neighborhood where have been hunt 1 ing. It is a great pleasure to see the men of Colorado, and an even greater pleasure to see the women, and I do not know but what I am even more glad to see the small folks. I shall not try to make you speech.
 T shall simply say again how glad l am to see you and to be your guest"
 The presidents party was up early to-day. After breakfast a limited amount of mail was got out of the way and then the party went to the Presby- terian church, to which an invitation to the president and his party was ex- tended yesterday by Rev. J. Wilson Curren.
 Just as the party was about to leave the hotel photographers requested sit ting that would include every member of the party. Chairs were grouped on the lawn in front of the veranda As soon as it was over the president led off at a brisk walk which brought the par ity to Little church ten minutes later. Along the street he was cheered, and he responded by lifting his hat frequently, batting children on the head and bow ing to parents. .... .. -a
 In front of the church the Sunday school children stood in open formation and as the party passed the little folks sang. The church was crowded and hundreds of persons stood outside near the open windows.
 Rev Mr. Curren made no reference to the distinguished visitor, except in his prayer, when he asked that the president be given the strength to carry on the duties of his office. The congre- gation remained standing until after the presidential party left the church.
 MT. Roosevelt set rapid pace toward the hotel. Half way to the hotel he ex- pressed desire to see the skins of the bears he had shot, and he turned back to the store of the taxidermist who has been intrusted with their mounting. As the skins were laid out the president pointed to that of the first bear he had killed. He said that was his favorite, as it was the only one that had requir- ed more than ordinary sportsmanship to kill. The pelt is the largest of the lot. The bear was kille with two shots.
