GLENWOOD SPRINGS. Colo, May
6.-Rising at $50 a. m. in wild noun
tain camp sixteen miles from New
Castle, President Roosevelt today rode
in the saddle thirty miles to this city
He arrived at 3:O1 p. M, visited the hot
vapor baths and had luncheon in his
apartments, participated In local pro-
gram and made an address to the vii
layers at $3.50, had dinner with a few
friends in the dining room, worked with
Secretary Loeb on important mail mat
ters of state and retired at an early
hour. This is what the president has
done today after bringing his hunt
to a close. He will pass quiet day
will start for Washington at o'clock
on Monday morning.
The horseback ride from the camp
on the West Divide creek to GlenWood
was made by the president, DR.. Lam
bert, P. B. Stewart of Colorado Springs
and Elmer Chapman, the presidents
courier. About two hours later the
pack train arrived. This consisted of
about twenty horses, thirty dogs and
the camping outfit. The train was in
charge of Guides John Coffee and Jack
Borah.
The ride of the presidents party was
uneventful. The roads were muddy and
the members of the party were badly
spattered. Several stops were made
that the president might shake hands
with the families of ranchers living
along the route and as the party neared
Glenwood Springs Mr.. Roosevelt and
his friends good naturedly posed for a
number of pictures.
Turn Out to Greet President
Nearly the entire population of the
Springs turned out to greet the presi-
dent. AS soon as he got off his horse
the firing of a presidents salute Of
twenty-one guns was started. He
passed into the hotel at once and the
people melted away, as 1t was given
out that all would be given an oppor-
tunity to see and hear the president
tonight.
The pack train was the cause of a
serious accident about a mile from
town. DR.. McAllister of New York,
who has been living at the Springs for
the benefit OF his health, was driving a
fractions horse which became unman-
ageable when it saw the train and
dogs. The doctors vehicle was over
turned and he suffered a compound
fracture of the left leg above the knee.
Word was sent to the hotel and DR..
Lambert responded. He treated the
injured man the best he could and
ordered him brought to the hotel, where
local physician took charge of the
case. No other occasion has arisen
during the hunt for DR.. Lambert to
use his surgical instruments or his
medicine. They have not been un-
packed during the entire stay of the
party in the mountains.
The president and all OF his party
have enjoyed the best of health. Mr..
Roosevelt got the rest he needed and
says he never felt better in his life,
and he is looking as well as he says he
feels. He wears a thick coat of brown,
which is not particularly becoming, but
shows ruggedness.
Have Had Good Success
The hunt has been remarkably sue
cessful considering the fact that the
party had less than one week of good
weather The balance OF the time that
they were in the mountains the hunt
