as his escort at keokuk. The letter
was mailed by General Thrift yester-

his admiration at the way they rode.
There were some things tho that the
president didn't see.
For instance in the allotment Of
horses to the governors staff at keo-
kuk they gave to Colonel Brookhart of
Washington Iowa, an old race horse
and when they came in from the park
the old horse imagined there was

he came in at the boat landing many
lengths in the lead. In fact he ran
away with Colonel Brookhart and the
strenuous pace set by the driver of
the presidents carriage was, seeming
ly, but child's play to him.
On the trip out to the park from

dent the pace was not so swift Fur
thernore Colonel Brookhart discovered
that he was to ride a lively horse and
took him out and ran him three miles
to quiet him down. But at the part
there was a chance for the horse to
rest for thirty minutes and when they
started on a swift pace back to town
he was ready for the race and showed
his speed contrary to the wishes of
Colonel Brookhart.
On the return trip President Roose-
welt was especially taken with the
erect carriage of Col. H. B. Hedge of
Des Moines. He complimented him on
the way he rode. When they had
reached the boat landing on the re-
turn trip he asked Colonel Hedge what

so swift back to town that he had
no breath left and others had to help
him out.
