camp sixteen miles from New Castle, President Roosevelt toda-- rode in a saddle thirty miles to this city. He ar rived at 3:10 ?. m., visited the hot vapor baths, participated in a local program and made an address to the villagers at 6:3O. He had dinner with a few friends in a private dining room, talked with Secretary Loeb on import ant mail and matters of state and re- tired at an early hour This is what the president has done today after bringing his hunt to a close. He will pass Q cuiet day at Hotel Colorado on Sunday and will start for Washington at o'clock on MOnday morning.
 The thirty mile horseback ride from camp o= West Divide Creek to Glen W ood Springs was made by the presi- dent, Dr. Alexander Lambert, r. 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 a camping outfit The train was in charge of the guides. John Golf and Jake BOrah and Hunter Brickwells. The ride of the party was uneventful. Tho roads were muddy and the members of the party were bad ly spattered. Several stops were made that the president might shake hands with the families of ranchers living along the route. and as the party near ed Glenwood Springs MT Roosevelt and bis friends good naturedly posed for a number of pictures. Nearly the entire population of the springs turned out to greet the president. As soon as he got off his horse the firing of the pres ident's salute of twenty-one guns was started. He passed into the hotel at once and the people melted away as it was given ont that all would have an opportunity to see and hear the presi- dent tonight.
 The pack train WIS the cause of a serious accident about a mile from the hotel. Dr. R. K- MacAlester of New York, wso has been living at the springs for the benefit of his health, was driving a fractious horse. which became unmanageabIe when it saw the train and dogs The doctors vehicle was overturned and he suffered a com pound fracture of the left leg above the knee Word was sent to the hotel and Dr. Lambert, the presidents phy- sician responded. He treated the in jured mcn tho best he could and or dered him brought to the hotel, where a 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 medi- cine. The-r have not been unpacked during the entire stay of the party in the mountains.
 The president and all of his party have enjoyed the best of health. Mir. 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. The hunt has been remarkably successful considering the fact that the party had less than one week of good weather The balance of the time they were in the mountains the hunters were huddled around the camp fires. trying to get away from the severe storms that made life in the wilds anything but pleasant From Monday until Friday night of this week rain or SHOW sometimes both fell con stantly in the West Divide Creek coun- try.
 The moisture froze on the trails and made them impossible most of the time Regardless of conditions the hunters went out yesterday and sev- eraI bob-cats were trailed. All of them got away except one that refused to tree and it was killed by one of the dogs. Not a shot was fired by the hunters thts week. As late as Il o'clock last night the party had hopes of getting the trail of grizzly today. At midnight it began to rain again and the party determined to get up early and ride to GIenwood Springs. It was thought useless to spend the day in the mountains under such weather conditions. Ten bears and four bob cats were taken by the party during the fortnight of the hunt.
 Of the bears killed the president got four and Dr. Lambert the others. Most of his were small and the half dozen were referred to by the president as 'Lambert's doilie set" The skins secured by the president are large and very hand some. pr. Lambert also got one fine skin in soite of the amusement the other members of the party derived from the yearlings he killed. All of the belts are at the shop of Frank Hayes, as rugs. The mounting will be plain cured and they are now ready for the tanner When this process has been completed the skins will be mounted as rugs. The mounting vii be plain with felt edging All of them will be made uD with open mouth and open eyes. The form for heads is of papier mache with natural looking teeth of enameled metal
