uienwood Springs, Col, May S-Pres-
ident Roosevelt and party arrived here
Saturday afternoon. having come on

the use OF a train. No news OF his com

went at once to his rooms In the hotel.
The party got ten bears during their ex-
pedition.
Entertained Companions.
The president entertained at dinner
his companions on his three weeks hunt
in the Rocky mountains. After the din.
ner he babe them an affectionate fare
well and promised that all would live
forever in his fondest memory. At the
dinner were p. b. Stewart, Of Colorado
Springs; Or. Alexander Lambert,
Guides Jake Borah, John Con, Brick
Wells, Jack Fry and G. NJ. Sprague.
Courier Elmer Chapman and Secretary
Loeb. The party talked over the events
OF the three weeks and had a good time
generally. Needless TO say, it was n
dinner none will forget. The president
was at his best. He was entirely rested
and had just come in from two or three
hours drive through the woods, where
the president went 10 study Colorado
birds. Mr.. Stewart is a naturalist WHO
knows every bird In the mountains, and
can tell It's habits and initiate its calls.
The dinner was served in a private
dining room OF the Hotel Colorado. The
guests were dressed much as they were
in the mountain. Flannel shirts were
the rule. TheHresident and Mr.. Loeb
wore their frocks, and Dr. Lambert and
DR.. Stewart were in plain business suits.
A Quiet Sunday.
Following his usual custom, the presi-
tent spent a quiet Sunday. Three weeks
ago the railroads planned 10 run excur.
sions into the Springs sunday but the
plan was discouraged by Secretary
Loeb, who announced taat no pro-
gramme would lie 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 Mr. Roose.

spoke briefly. The presidents party
was up early. After breakfast a limited
amount OF mail vas gotten out of the
way, and then the party walked TO the
Presbyterian church Along the street

sponded by lifting his HAT frequently,
patting children on the head and bowling
10 their parents. In front Of the church
the SUNDAY school children stood In
open formation, 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 minister
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 Of
fee. The congregation remained stand
ing until after the presidential party de-
parted,
