CHEYENNE HAS
GONE JOY MAD
ePLENDID PROGRAM OF OPENING
pALs MERELY FoRETAsTE
OF THRILLING EVENTS.
LARGEST CROWDS EVER
FROM AS FAR EAST AS OMAHA
FROM SALT LAKE WEST
AND INTERVENING.

Cheyenne, Wyo.-Roosevelt wealth
er moved into Cheyenne a day ahead
of the chief attraction of the closing
day of the fourteenth annual From
tier celebration. The effect of its
coming was to put the city's hordes
of visitors into the best of good hui
NOR, whet the appetite of the crowds
for today's sports and more than com
pensate for the inconveniences TIC
which so many are placed in the mat
ter of sleeping accommodations.
Cheyenne has seen big crowds at
similar events in years gone by, but
never anything to compare with the
one now filling its every available
corner Trains poured in their thou
sands, bringing loads from as far
east as Omaha. from Salt Lake and
all intervening Utah and Wyoming,
while Denver and northern Colorado
sent SO many that at times the Colo
radoan was imagining himself in Den
yer. But why speak of crowds when
Roosevelt is to come? They are onl'
a promise of what is to come.
Fridays program was similar to
that of Wednesday and Thursday,
only the events were more exciting.
The warm weather seemed to act
ms n tonic for man and beast. and
the performers put forth their best
efforts.

Of the chair are more books. The
base bears this inscription: "Execu-
ted by Ball Hughes, Is47."
Ball Hughes not only modelled the
first statue to be cast In bronze In
America. but he is said to have carved
the first portrait figure sculptured in
marble in this country. This was
statue of Alexander Hamilton erected
In 1895 In the rotunda of the New
York Merchants Exchange. which was
destroyed eight months later by fire.
Among the priced relics In the Boston
Atheneum. carefully guarded in an up
per storeroom of the Beacon street
library building. is the little model Of
this historic work.
Nathaniel Bowditch, who was a ma
tive OF Salem. died In Boston in 1888.
For some years before his death he
and the sculptor Hughes were close
friends. Bowditch was an extraor.
binary genius. At ten years of age
the straitened circumstances of his
parents forced him to leave school,
and from twelve to twenty-one he
was an apprentice in a ship chambers
shop. Then he passed nine years at
sea. finally becoming master of
ship. After quitting his nautical life
he made his home in Boston and de-
voted himself to learning and science.
He gained pretty full knowledge Of
the Latin. Greek. French. Italian. Por-
tuguese and German languages. made
himself the most eminent mathemati-
clan and astronomer that America had
produced. and did more for the repu-
tation of his country among men OF
science in Europe than had been done
by any other man. except perhaps
Benjamin Franklin.

in writing aeroplane history later on.
He told OF new aeroplane he has in
vented. He says 1t is made entirely of
aluminium and that no wires are used
in the framework. thus giving greater
stability. The body gives the effect of
