effects and the lines are simple and
stately, yet graceful and pleasing.
Within the arrangement Of the audi
torium appears to be especially well
planned to secure the utmost OF ca
pacity and the greatest convenience
of the delegates and others desirous
of seeing and hearing The arrange
ment for the platform and seating
differs from that Of the chicago Col
iseum in that while there the plat
form was at one end Of the Audi
torum, it is at the side, so that no
auditor is more than half the length
of the hall from the speaker. The
reservation for the delegates and
alternates is in the center, extending
clear across the hall; the space for
spectators are at the ends and in the
ample galleries.
The arrangement Of entrances and
exits is more than ordinarily effective
and it is said that in case of emer-
gcncy the auditorium could be emp
tied and every person be on the
street within two minutes. Fire ap-
paratus is located at convenient
points and fifteen streams Of water
are Immediately available. As a mat
ter of fact the building is practically
fire proof, the floors are Of concrete
and the only material Of an innam-
mable sort is in the Temporary plat
forms and stairways erected for this
convention and the immense amount
of bunting used in the elaborate dec
orations.
These decorations are more pro-
fuse than at Chicago in a harmonious
scheme of national flags and red,
white and blue streamcrs. Masses of
flags are placed at appropriate points
while the ceiling is covered with Red,
white and blue stars, each bearing
the name of state. Over the rost-
rum is an immense portrait of Wash
ington, with Jefferson at one side and
Jackson at the other, while from the
middle Of the opposite wall facing the
J speakers dais another portrait Of the

IN answer to the call from the Utzin-

pened to be standing at the corner OF
Seventh street where he got good
view of the flying wagons. He re-
marked to a bystander (who proudly
quoted him a few moments later),
that "after a number Of years service

had not ever seen any better work in
getting to fire, nor in the quick and
proper disposition of the men," than

.DENVER'S BIG HALL
Is Built as a Permanent StruC-
ture
WHERE DEMOCRATS MEET
Colorado City Is Proud of Its Great
Structure, Which Is a Handsome
and Endurable Building of Granite
and Steel-A Stately Hall.

DENVER, July IA practical test
was applied today to the great con-
vention hall, which the people Of Den
yer have erected especially for the
Democratic National convention. Let
none entertain the idea, as did MANY
OF the delegates before their arrival
here, that the convention is to meet
in a great barn-like temporary struc-
ture, hastily flung together with frail
and inhammable materials to serve
somehow for one occasion; Of doubt
ful acoustic properties and scant fit
ness for even a temporary purpose.
The first impression the stranger gets
from view of the building is that
of permanency. Granite and steel
brick and concrete have been used
without stint This is first of all a
vast house for conventions, not only
this one, but many yet to gather from
all parts of the country. On the other
hand, for the people of Denver it is tc
be a home theater, well planned, con
venient and OF reasonable proportions
to house in comfort audiences to be
gathered in a wideawakc city Of
nearly 100000 people.
The building, OF pale gray brick and
granite, occupies the entire Four
teenth Street half Of the block on the
east side Of 18th Street between Cur
It's and Champa Street on the western
edge Of the business section Of the
city and within easy walk of the hotel
and railroads. 1t is a massive struc-
ture effective in design and with a
beauty of its own. There is entire

that few will complain il our state has
