Seven Falls. the dearly loved home OF

the top of Pixies Peak and through the
thirty acres of the most magnificent seen

it's circuitous roads, at times over solid
rock, quickly rising ascents. magnificent
views of mountain and landscape seen
cry through vistas of beautiful trees and
rugged mountain peaks.
A side trip was also made through
the Garden of the Gods. where the rug
ged rocks and peaks assumed weird. gro
tesque and at times striking re-
semblances to animals, birds and types
Of humanity.
The weather throughout was delight
full, except the Sunday evening spent at
Colorado Springs, in the very midst of
one of the most terrifying electric
that section. But that failed to bring
hurt to the Washington party, and when
the brilliant sunlight peculiar to the far
western country lit up the earth Mon
day everybody was we'll and happy and
looking forward to Denver and its pos
sibilities.

clave were revelation. The electric liz

Won Applause, at Least.

Yet withal the drill maneuvers were ex-
cellently presented. the big audience APP
plauded frequently. and there were those
from other states who felt that Columbia
would surely come in for one Of the
prizes. But it did not, and no one aues-
toned the judgment of the judges, all Of
them army officers whose individual
marking did not vary. it is said, more
than one-tenth of point.
But" said Capt. Gibson, I'VE won't
grieve over spilled milk. Maybe we will
do better next time. We were not beaten
by amateurs. but by foemen worthy Of
our steel"
The trip of the Washington party to
the Queen City OF the Plains, as the
home folks call Denver, was a delightful
one in every respect. The large Wash
ington contingent was like a big family
party. 1t stuck together at all times, and
each shared with the others the glorious
sights of the side trips into the Rocky
mountains. Even the trip to the top of
Pixies Peak was made without mishap
Of any kind. although one or two Of the
woman folks became a little hysterical
when the high altitude was reached, and
some Of the men felt the effects of the
