COLORADO SPRINGS DONNED HER GALA T0GS FOR CARNIVAL Automobiles from Many States Took Part in the
 Big Street Parade SOME IMPRESSIONS
 OF GREAT RESORT Hundreds of Automobile Camping Parties in the Mountains One of
 Impressive Features to Ast the Visitor
By C. M. STANLEY

Colorado Springs, Col. September g. Especial )-PilSe's Peak is like some of our great men. When you get close to it here in Colorado Springs 1t does not look any higher than the other mountains near but when you get 15o miles away it looms up so prominently as to make the others look life dwarfs
 Colorado Springs, like Denver, is com blaming about the small number of tour ists this year. although 10 the man who is not here often it seems that the crowds are very large A big carnival was held yesterday which included an automobile parade in the afternoon with outdoor dancing, confetti throwing and masking at night Kansas won the auto mobile prize with some 90 odd cars in line Texas was second and Oklahoma third
 At night some of the costumes worn by visitors were pretty daring. I assume they were visitors for surely no one would want to fix up like that at home Excel lent order was maintained even though the crowds filled not onfy the sidewalks, but the entire street The dancing floor covered the street for an entire block and an ampitheatre on each side of the street extended from the curbs,one over the sidewalks and up to the adjacent buildings

Fixes peak has been devoid of snow practically all summer which is said to be very unusual.
