visited the Cliff Dwellers in Manitou. They were extremely interesting—a guide took us through, explaining everything. I secured pieces of their pottery, etc., in the museum where all relics are kept. There is crockery, weapons, bodies, etc , etc., and a piece of cloth worn by their kings and queens, which shows how civilized they were. Some of the skeletons were 8 feet long.

village authorities, or "the authorities, whoever they may be," should have this attended to at once. Inasmuch aa>i. this is private property and any person must trespass to get there (although without any intention of wrong doi»g, or any objection on the part of the owners) we do not imagine the '"proper authorities" will be loca- ed very soon. The Board of Trade might request the railroad or the city authorities to fix up the matter but we imagine it would still be up to the own¬ ers (the railroad or City of New York) of Ocean Avenue ^^ ^'^ ^^ they pleased about it.

haughty old chief and his squaw, who was cutting wood. We watched the Navajo woman make blankets, and when she wasn't watching me, Garrett coughed so she couldn't hear the click of my kodak, and I got her picture, all right but it was risky work as she broke a $60 camera the other day while a chap was trying to get her picture.
We have been to the Garden of the Gods: rode there on burrOs. The rock foundations are truly wonderful. Photography of the "Balance Rock" ; forbidden but 1 got two pictures of' it, all right.

We have repeatedly called attention to the objections to the use of this whistle tor a so-called time-piece and notice in the Times article the argu¬ ment in favor that "the blowing of the whistle every evening is to protect it from corroding and thereby preventing it from getting out of order, or if it 1 should get put of order to allow the

We arrived at lola; a very small : town right on the Gunnison, where the I trout steal the bait, and wild animals ! come to drink. We found the place ; where we were to stay a typical cat-1 tie ranch. The house was built of rough logs, the inside benig covered with animal skins; the antlers of deer ; and antelope were hung on the walls, all having been killed near the ranch, not one being "hunted." We went 1 hunting or fishing every day—small 1 game, such as rabbits, sage hens, etc., being plentiful, and we could catch a big mess of trout for dinner in a few minutes, being 2, 3 and 4 pounders.

They were extremely interesting—a guide took us through, explaining everything. I secured pieces of their pottery, etc., in the museum where all relics are kept. There is crockery, weapons, bodies, etc , etc., and a piece of cloth worn by their kings and queens, which shows how civilized they were. Some of the skeletons were 8 feet long.

Ellison's Sea- Side Hotel, Point Lookout, will be held next Wednesday evening, with music by Mole, White & Cohn. We beat Hempstead last Saturday and will be prepared to do it again.
