r COCONINO SUN. presaion up all the participants in tho Flagstaff excursion. Tho President's train left Bright Angel promptly at 6 o'clock p. m., the Cleveland Grays' train following half an hour after. The Flagstaff excur sion left at 7 o'clock, and the Prescott excursionists a half-hour later. During tho afternoon the President, Governor Brodie and others of the party visited tho Grand Canyon as far east as the Grand View trail. The famous Cleveland Greys, of Cleveland, Ohio, In a special train, were visitors at the Canyon on Wed nesday. They are an independent military organization, and were jour neying to tho Coast, having met tho Presidential party at Santa Fe, where they acted as official escort to the President. These knights of tho gray uniform date their beginning as an or ganization from 1S47, since which time they havo figured prominently in war and peace. In 1801 the Grays were tho first Ohio troops to volun teer for active service, and went into tho field as tho color company of the First Ohio Infantry. It is a matter of record that eighty original members of the company received commissions before tho closo of tho war. During tho Spanish-American War they re cruited and officered a substantial body of troops. The company has figured in the in auguration of most of the governors of Ohio since its organization, and in tho inaugural ceremonies of several of tho Presidents of tho United States. The day was an ideal gala day, as to tho weather, and though the excur sionists arrived in Flagstaff on their return late at night, tired and sleepy and wornout, the unanimously-voiced verdict was that it had been a beauti ful day, beautifully and ploasurably spent in deservedly honoring the na tion's popular and manly chief.

Wil liam Pickens, tho negro who won the junior exhibition prize at Yale, has been asked to become the head of a new Afro-Amorican republic to bo es tablished in Haytl.

A new hotel is to be built this season at the head of Grand View trail, Grand Canyon of Arizona. This is near the terminus of tho old stago line from Flagstaff, and Is what Is known as the trail leading to tho Last Chanco mine, now owned by the Grand Canyon min ing company and Is by far the best point on tho rim for a hotel and the trail is tho best leading into the Can yon. The intention is to put up a good building and run it in first-class style. The trail down to tho Colorado river at this point has been greatly improved, and with better hotel facili ties it is thought that this end of the granite gorge district will be more popular. It is easily ono of the beauty spots of tho Grand Canyon. The river makes a mighty bend hero to tho north and the eyo is delighted with far away views across the painted desert. The canyon forms are also more varied and of softer colors than elsewhere. Bright Angel, being the railway terminus, will always bo most fre quented by tourists. It has come into unusual prominence of late by reason of the efforts being made by a certain Arizona pioneer to gain possession of Bright Angel trail on the plea of prior occupancy. Howover, tho matter may finally be decided, the Santa Fe will go ahead with the building of its mag nificent hotel there, to be managed by Mr. Harvey. Tho need of such a hotel is great, as travel to the Canyon has Increased eight hundred per cent, in two years. From Bt. Cavt Scra-tch.
