the neighboring cities The parade was
advertised to start at 3 o'clock, but fully
two hours before that time the bust
ness streets were crowded with an
eager throng, and the corner of Fourth
and Washington streets. where carnival
Hall is located, was impossible. All the
mills and factories shut down at noon, and
at o'clock the mercantile houses and
offices closed for the afternoon. The pub
tic schools also closed. and in fact every
thing was dropped, in order to make
WINONA'S CELEBRATION COMPLETE.
AS early as half-past one the procession
began to be made up i'll front OF Carnival
hall. The sun came out bright and warm,
and the clouds that had terroriZed the
managers by their blackness earlier in the
day, gave way to bright, blue sky. The
good feeling among the crowds waiting on
stress increased, as some new feature
that was to be part OF
the procession, drove up to
carnival hall. There was the workman
who could not repress smile of satisfaction
as he saw grand display from his factory
drive into line: there was the employer feel
ing that never before had his articles been
50 conspicuous or likely to be so well adj
vertised; there was the spectator from
neighboring city staring at the new displays
of business that followed one after the
other, and he began to wonder what Wi
mona didn't have that was worth having.
There was the small boy, eager to discern
the wagons with the grotesque
figures and animals upon them,
and there also, right in the
middle of the dense crowd, was the woman
with the proverbal baby carriage, turning
first this way and then the other, as if to
stir up still further the lively scene. Finally,
and almost precisely at the advertised time,
the grand procession began to move. The
crowd barely made room at some points for
the pageant to move, and the utmost enthu-
siasm prevailed.
