For the first time IN the United States
the Mystic Shriners of the Northwest
paraded the streets today with real, live
camels to ride. Beside this distinction,
they paraded on the public streets in their
robes. for the first time on the Pacific
coast The Elks of the Northwest also
paraded, and the Portland Chamber of
Commerce was here to inspect the
fair. And beside. the Multno-
NAH Athletic Club and the crack
athletes of the Tacoma Athletic
Club gave exhibitions of wrestling and
trapezs work in the evening. 1t was
Shriners', Elks', Portland and Athletic
day, and was one of the most successful
days of the fair; indeed, it may be classed
as the best day, barring Posr-IsrEIIIGES-
GER day. which, of course, stood out head
and shoulders above anything of the kind
ever before known in the Northwest
The British Columbus day was delight
full one. and very nice class Of people
came over. and besides attending the fair
they bought many pairs OF shoes. and made
everybody feel pleasant. But the Shriners,
the Elks, and the Po-tlanders generally,
good folks from the other side. There
were 1000 or 5000 all told, and this even
ing there was a great jam and great heaps
OF fun for those out on the outing.
Tomorrow will be German day, and the
TsutoDs have arranged to be here in great
throngs. They will come from all over
the Sound. and in particular from Seattle
and Tacoma.

mounted on donkeys from the Streets Of
Cairo, and the donkeys were led by their
attendants. Dick Mullen and Ralph Met

camels. Allen c. Mason was aboard one.
smoking cigar q foot long, and Frank
Parker, of Seattle, representing the Illus
trious potentate, 7. P. Dyer. of that city,
was on deck on the other. Mike Swamp
was afoot, representing the Arab leading
the way. Everybody looked interested In
the camels and their loads, and the riders
seemed real pleased because they did not
have to walk like the others.
Sheiks on horseback attracted about as
much attention as the big camsls. which,
like the donkeys. came from the Streets OF
Cairo at the fair. Among the shciks were:

Seattle, balanced honors with the out-of-
town musicians. and both played In the
procession.
The Elks turned out dozen or two men
who were giants n stature. Some of
them carried umbrellas and wore odd
dust-colored busters. 1t was a bright,
sunny day, cool and delightful. and there
was no call for the umbrellas, except to
distinguish the webfeet. Some rode in
carriages, and all we're met at the depot
and boats by special committees Of the
Tacoma Chamber of Commerce or the
