The parade was remarkable from the
fact that it made wonderful showing
OF the use electricity could be put to as
power and as light.
Shortly after s o'clock the different
bodies who were to take part in the
parade had about mustered at and
about the battery and the lower part
OF Broadway, ana the police began to
clear the line OF march.
The way was cleared and the crowd
waited, but the procession did not ap-
pear. The crowd waited patiently,
hoping that nothing happened to spoil
the show.
An Associated Press reporter hunted
up and down along the line trying to
find the cause OF the delay, and at
length he found it.
It was all n matter OF Queen lsabeila's
tights.
"The Goddess OF Liberty has taken
my tights" exclaimed Queen Isabella,
"and Pm not going to sit with Ferdin.
and wearing an Indians squaw dress. !"
This was spoken on float No. . OF al
legorical pageant as the procession was
being formed.
Queen Isabella was not the only one in
trouble, for several others were missing
their particular costumes.
