ECLIPSE OF SUN LAST SATURDAY
SHUT FROM VIEW BY CLOUDS.

A FTER all the preparations to have
"A a grand view of the eclipse last
Saturday. botn scientists and others in
Denver failed to observe in its .entir-
ETY. the wonderful happening in the
solar system. A twilight coming un-
timely seemed to have been the fore
runner of the great phenomenon, and
though a number of clouds passing
over interfered with the view we
hoped to have, yet the Astronomical
calculations were right to the second,
proving the power of man to reduce
the movements of astral bodies to an
exact science. At the time stated,
Denver was plunged into utter dark
ness for the period as calculated,
lights in offices, stores, shops, etc,
were turned on, only to be extin-
guished a few seconds after as bril-
liant daylight rapidly returned after
the total eclipse. Smoke glasses were
numerous and the after appearance
witnessed, but as we are aware Ma
ture and its freakish attendants upset
our calculations many times.
1t is said forty years ago a similar
eclipse was viewed heye with better
results regarding observation and we
will not quarrel with the authority of
these celestial bodies but hope we will
have better view next time and un-
der more favorable circumstances. At
other Colorado points, the view it is
said was very favorable. A new star
we are told is the result of this eclipse
the same having appeared according

laity q larger place in church work,
the need of larger cooperation and
fellowship with other denominations
in local and missionary activities and
the demand for adequate recruits for
the Christian ministry. The sectional
conferences proved to be highly in
structive and attractive. The sessions
were animated by inspiring numbers
rendered by the Y. w. C. A. quartette,
the Y. M. c. A. Glee Club, as well as
by demonstration by the Boy Scouts.
Mr.. w. E. Parks, scout master. The

LEE UMeLE, OF UNIVERSITY OF
COLORADO, AND ALEX. BRICK
LER FINISH SECOND AND
FIFTH IN NEWS-TlMES
GREAT MARATHON
RACE.

TED JOHNSON, in winning the
News-Times Marathon race for
the fourth time in six years,
found new competitors in the colored
athletes, Umble and Brickler, in the
race last Saturday over course of
ten and two-fifths miles-the distance
from Littleton to the News-Times Of
flee. Johnson, with his usual STRAIT
egy and having been accustomed to
the track for at least five years,
showed again the remarkable grit and
power of the Utah man, and Lee Um-
BILE, who showed unmistakable signs
of the coming formidable competitor
for Johnson in the next event came in
for much commendation on his splen-
did exhibition. Continuous and sys-
tematic training secured this second
place for Lee Umble, who, though go
ing to university and working at
nights, could find time to train for
so arduous task. Coming in the sec
ond place, finishing only one minute
and thirteen seconds behind the win
ner, and going over the course in one
hour, seven minutes and eight sec
onds, ending almost as fresh as when
he started, he is determined to be
reckoned with in the future. The
prize awarded Umble is round trip
to Philadelphia with Ted Johnson, the
winner, also gold medal, and at Phil
adaInbia thav will hotb cOmnate in the
National A. A. U. meet, which forms
the classics of long distance Marathon
races. Umble halls from Indiana, hav-
ing come to the Rocky Mountain re-
mination to keep up the standard that
other colored athletes have set is evil
denced by his gallant attempt to win
in last Saturdays event. Nor is he
wanting in loyalty, as his costume was
made from an American flag, which
caused him to be greatly cheered by
the crowds as he dashed by them in
his effort to win. Our Bob" Davis
of postal fame, who has been coach
ing all our participants in this event,
ever since its beginning, and who had
the opportunity to coach Umble, said,
that he is more than confident that
Colorado colors will be thoroughly
represented in Philadelphia, and his
man will give a good account of him
self Brickler, the other colored en-
trant, did very well, and the possi-
bility of getting from fifth to first
place next year seems to be his am
bition. THE COLORADO STATES
MAN in offering its congratulations to
these representative Americans hopes
that this result will inspire them to
greater achievements resulting in the
DAWN OF A NEW AWAKENING.
