The visit to Glenwoud of the In
ternationsl League of Press clubs was
very satisfactory to everybody con-
cerned-especialy so to the press club
mem bers themselves
The delegation with their friends,
numbering in all about $50. arrived
here Monday morning shortly after
midnight over the Rio Grande. The
visitors had been riding most of the
time since early Sunday morning and
upon arriving here a majority of them
went Immediately to the hotels and
rooming houses.
One of the interesting scenic features
of the trip from Salida to Glenwood
was the Grand Canon which the
travellers saw by moonlight. The press
boys described this canon in various
ways but all We're immensely pleased.
One of the gentleman said Grand
Canon by moonlight is simply indes-
cribable. The silver sheen of the
lunar light upon the castlelike walls
of the canon and rapids of the Grand
river seemed to me message from
another world"
Monday morning bright and early
the visitors were astir and great
many of them took swim in the big
pool. At 8 O'Clock the Hotel Colorado
served special breakfast so that the
visitors would have time to take a
look over town before taking the train
for their departure. However large
number of them took breakfast at the
Hotel Glenwood and scattered around
the various restaurants. ----.
The general comment on Glenwood
among the strangers was of very
complimentary nature and it is quite
evident that the advertising which
will come from the Press clubs visit
here will be worth hundreds of dollars
to Glenwood in the future. great
many of the travellers said they had
never heard of Glenwood only in Il
casual way and were much surprised
to find so large town and such won
derful hot springs as we have here.
Just before arriving in Glenwood
the delegation became very much
worried over the condition of Prof.
John Phin. the eminent Shakespearean
scholar and editor of the Shakespea1 Q
Monthly published at Paterson, N. j.
The high altitude and constant travel
was too much of strain on the old
gentleman and he was taken suddenly
ill Mr.. Phin was Immediately taken
to tile Hotel Colorado upon the train 8
arrival here and he recovered suffici-
emily in few hours to resume the
journey to Denver.
President Keating of the Denver
Press club came to Glenwood Sunday
night ahead of the special for the pur
pose of i.cking after the arrangement
for the lodging of the delegation.
He found that there was nothing for
him to do, however. as the local people
had gotten busy during the afternoon
and had made arrangements for lodg
ing and breakfast at the various hotels
for every member of the party as the
guests of Glenwood Springs.
A committee from the town council
and the local newspaper men went up
the line as far as Minturn, where they
boarded the train and on the run into
Glenwood every person was
presented with hotel ticket, so that
they were enabled to go at once to the
hotel on their arrival.
The special was taken in charge
here by General Passenger Agent
Speers of the Colorado Midland, and
Lee Haney, the advertising agent
of the road. who travelled with the
party on the return trip to Denver.
