respected the suggestion Of the President
made on Saturday that he and his party
be left to themselves during the hunt.
In the brief address he made just before he
pulled out OF town Mr. Roosevelt thanked
the people for the consideration shown
him during his stay in the Big Pasture.
Mr. Roosevelt told Secretary Loeb that
he enjoyed himself immensely; that the
sport had been better than he expected
and that he regretted that he had been I'M
able to prolong his stay. He was most
lavish in his praise Of Capt Pat Doolng,
the guide Of the party, and expressed the
greatest admiration for Alternately, who
catches the coyotes alive.
