Twelve carts followed them, all look.
ing beautiful, and each worthy a prize.
The decoration OF some was not 60 grand
when compared with the winners, but
generally they were gorgeous.
The miniature carts were sweetly dec
grated. But two entries were made.
Miss Bernice Smith and Miss Gussie
Breslamer appeared sweet in pretty
little cart trimmed in marigolds and
roses. Master Lou Gaty acted as driver
| for the little Misses Mary Bell and R.
Redington. They were in tandem
(miniature), and presented remarkably
sweet picture.
Among the prettily decorated riding
horses were those of Misses Maud Lacy, !,
Annie l.. Smith, Nina Shepard, Emma
Crowell, Jennie M. Kimberly and Edith
Walters. Each was pretty, and it was
hard to pick out the winners of pre-
miums. a3n
| Many novelty features ended the grand
| pageant. The most unique and original
idea was that by John Spence. Eight
beautifully dressed horsemen appeared
as Robin Hoods merry men out for
jolly good time. Their horses were
decked in roses. They took first prize.
paddy Duffey's cart" was very
amusing feature. A. F. Burt and Frank
Suoddard were the originators the for
mer personating Paddy and the latter
| Nine. Duffey. They rode an old dump
cart loaded with cabbages, turnips, car
rots, etc.
A pretty vehicle was that of Misses
Constance Delaney and Ethel Daily,
who were classically robed in Roman
style, driving miniature chariot drawn
by three ponies abreast, lead by two
colored boys. 1t received the second
prize in the novelties, and was worthily
mentioned.
A Japanese man carriage or ''jinnibi-
sha," was greatly admired. Little Alice
Webster was the occupant, and two
Japanese boys walked beside her.
| There were hundreds of worthy fea'
| lures not mentioned on account of lach
of space, but each and every one wa!
pretty and amusing.
| BATTLE OF FLOWERS.
As the grand pageant passed to and
| fro in front of the tribunes, a battle oil
flowers was waging. Thousands of bou-
quets of flowers were thrown about.
Friends and acquaintance heaped bas.
kets OF roses upon the passers-by. These
were returned with interest, and each
| time the Goddess of Love hove in sightin
her mammoth marine float, flowers flew
thick and fast, until State street, for a
whole block and a half, was mass OF
flowers. The scene, though grand to be-
hold, seemed shameful. The sweet roses
pinks, violets, daisies, poppies, etc.
made veritable bed for the prancine
horses and gaudy carriages to trave
over. After the prizes were awarded
the whole crowd joined in the battle
and the little boys especially used one
another very roughly, though all in good
nature.
Summed up, the floral procession was
the grandest success ever attempted in
this city. Some few runaways marred
the day, but no one was injured, and
everyone was pleased with the showing
and it's management.
| Grand Marshal Sherman and his aids
| conducted themselves admirably and
are deserving of great credit for theil
work.
