The figure shows a (convex) polygon with nine vertices. The six diagonals which have been drawn dissect the polygon into the seven triangles: $P_{0}P_{1}P_{3}$, $P_{0}P_{3}P_{6}$, $P_{0}P_{6}P_{7}$, $P_{0}P_{7}P_{8}$, $P_{1}P_{2}P_{3}$, $P_{3}P_{4}P_{6}$, $P_{4}P_{5}P_{6}$. In how many ways can these triangles be labeled with the names $\triangle_{1}$, $\triangle_{2}$, $\triangle_{3}$, $\triangle_{4}$, $\triangle_{5}$, $\triangle_{6}$, $\triangle_{7}$ so that $P_{i}$ is a vertex of triangle $\triangle_{i}$ for $i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7$?
