CHAPMAN'S DESCRIPTION

Glenwood Springs. Col, May IT. President Roosevelt entertained at dinner tonight his companians on his three weeks hunt in the Rocky Noun tains After the dinner he bade them an affectionate farewell and promised that sll would live forever n his fond est memory. At the dinner were P. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs. pr. Alexander Lambert. Guides Jake Bo- rah, John Goff, Brick Wells. Jack Fry and G. M. Sprague; Courier Elmer Chapman and Secretary Loeb.
 In describing the function Chapman said:
 Loeb was the only dude at the party. You reporter fellows ought to have been there. You could have got all kinds of pieces for your papers"
 The other members of the hunt said the party talked over the events of the three weeks and had good time gen orally. Needless to say it was a din- ner none will forget. The President was at his best. He was entirely rest ed and had just come In from two or three hours drive through the woods where he went with MT. Stewart to study Colorado birds. MT. Stewart s a naturalist who knows every bird in the mountains and can tell its habits and initiate its call
 The dinner was served III d pTlNiA0 dining room of the Hotel Colorado. The guests were dressed much as they were in the mountain camp; flannel shirts were the rule, although the guides did discard their caps and laid away their guns. The President and Mir. Loeb wore their frocks.
 Following his usual custom, the President spent quiet Sunday. Three weeks ago the railroads, planned to run Int ha no1a today hnf the plan was discouraged by Secretary Loeb, who announced that no program would be permitted which called for an address by the President In spite of that fact. large numbers of persons came in by every train and rather than disappoint them, MT. Roosevelt stepped out on the second floor balcony of the hotel after the luncheon and spoke briefly. He said:
 Presidents Speech.
 T did not anticipate having the pleasure of meeting you today, and as 1t is Sunday I am not going to try to make a speech to you. l shall merely say how greatly l am enjoying my visit in this beautiful State. I wish that ii the last week up in the mountains there had been a little more weather like this. If there had been I think we would have got about two bears bet ter. But still as we got ten. ! do not think we have any right to complain '. I am sure need not tell you how much I have enjoyed my holiday here"
 The Presidents party was up early today. After breakfast, limited amount of mail was gotten out of the way and then the party went to tho Presbyterian Church. An invitation to the President and his party was ex- tended yesterday by the Rev. J. Wilson Curren and was accepted. Just as the party was about to leave the hotel pho- tographers requested sitting that would include every member of the party. Chairs were grouped on the lawn in front of the veranda As soon as 1t was over, the President led off at a brisk walk which brought the party to the little church ten minutes later, all out of breath except MT. Roosevelt. He seemed to enjoy the walk. Along the street he was cheered and he re- sponded by lifting his hat frequently batting children on the head and bow ing to their parents.
 Tn front of the church the Sunday school children stood in open 1orHa- tion and. as the party passed through, the little folks sang. The church was crowded and hundreds of persons stood outside as near the open windows as possible.
 The Rev. Curren preached on the sub feet of the responsibility of the Chris tian Church He made no reference To the distinguished visitor except in ms prayer when he asked that the Presl- dent be given the strength to carry on the duties of his office. The congrega- tion remained standing until after the presidential party departed.
 Wanted to See BeaFskins.
 Mir. Roosevelt set another rapid pace Half way to the hotel he expressed a desire to see the skins of the bears he had shot and he turned back to the store of Frank Hayes. the taxidermist who has been entrusted with their mounting. As the skins were laid out the president pointed to that of the first bear killed. He said that was his favorite as it was the only one that had required more than ordinary sportsmanship to kill. The pelt is the largest of the lot. The bear was killed with two shots. both of which had to be fired with careful aim in order not to injure the dogs which had the anil nal at bay.
 The President fingered a long time over his lunch and then went to his rooms. After satisfying the excursion visitors by speaking to them for mo- ment he went for drive in company with Dr. Lambert and MT. Stewart and then returned to the hotel, where he rested until dinner was served.
 About 9:30 o'clock he went to the pri- yate car Rocket" which he will make his headquarters until he reaches Wash ington.
 The Presidential special will leave Glenwood Springs at a. m., tomorrow A daylight run will be made to Denver in order to give the party an opportuni ty to enjoy the scenery. The train will stop ten minutes at Hanging Bridge one of the prettiest views on the Dem yer and Rio Grande Railroad.
