The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1889-08-27
THE TRADES
Magnificently Represented Last
Night and Admired by
Thousands.
The Largest Crowd Ever i'm the
City and an Evening of
Rare Enjoyment.

The trades procession this year wa:
looked forward to with much zest, be
cause the success which attended the
fair management in this feature has
heretofore shown such fine results
Long before the appointed hour for
the procession to form, thousands be-
gan to fill the pavements and by the
time the procession was ready to
start, not On available inch of standing
room could be found anywhere along
the line of march. Strangers were
here from all the neighboring towns
and counties and Sedalia in grand
gala attire made all welcome. Care
full people estimated the az $4,000
and it is possible that this estimate
was not in the least exaggerated.
Most of the business houses were
decorated and many of the residences.
Some, however, forgot the Mayors
instructions in this respect and they
should be careful to atone, for
the forgetfuIness, by boubIy
decorating and Illuminating for Puck's
parade which takes place tomorrow
night. The street Examinations were
particularly worthy of admiration last
night and the light reflected through
red white and blue globes, made the
scene one of enchantment indeed.
The procession was divided in d.
visions in charge of Mr.. j. n. Daily,
who ably fulfilled his duties, assisted
by Marshals s. t. Lupe, John w.
Menifee and DIR. Ira Bronson.
The procession formed on Broad
