Trip Over the
Skyline Drive

What viii be TO many OF the dele.
gates TO the C. A. r. encampment one
Of the most memorable incidents in
connection with their stay in Canon
City this week was. the compliment
airy automobile trip given them by the
Chamber of Commerce over the Sky.
line drive Wednesday afternoon
Practically all of the visitors to the
encampment accepted the hospitality
of the chamber OF the excursion. and
it was unanimously voted to have
been a very delightful affair. Nearly
500 people took the drive. and they
constituted one of the largest parties
that ever made the trip over the sky
line highway in a single afternoon.
The excursion was under the direct
supervision of Secretary Bradbury.
and he handled II remarkably well,
considering the fact that the number
of guests was larger than had been
expected, and that an inadequate num-
ber of cars was available for the task
without an annoying delay. The
ladies were taken first, the men wait.
ing until later About 500 the party
started, and from that hour until
nearly O'Clock there was an almost
unbroken stream of cars passing
around Soda Point en- route to the
western entrance OF the drive.
Considerable impatience was ex.
pressed at the delay in getting ac.
commodations for the trip. but this
was due to the insufficient number OF
machines to meet the emergency. and
was in no wise attributable to Mr.
bradbury He did the best he could
with the means at his command and
was finally able to satisfy the clam
ors of his guests. a few cars made
as many as four trips. and good
many three circuits. before the con.
gestion about the Chamber of Com
merce rooms was relieved
There were no accidents of any
kind, and the excursionists enjoyed the
outing to the limit one old soldier
was heard to say: II would not have
missed it for anything II was the
Drettiest mountain drive ever took,
and l do not believe IT can be sur
passed for beauty anywhere in the
United States"
