A most conspicuous little bit of beauty
was May Rosser, red, red rose in the pro-
cession. The great petals of the rose
spread round her and seemed to be part of
her. She sat in the center holding a wand
of roses and four men carried her upon
their shoulders.
Following the float were the Indians in
their native woods. The distinguishing
feature of the Laurel School was palan-
quin, in which rode little Flora Laurence
surrounded by yellow marguerites. which
she represented.
Miss Gertrude Davis, in float represent
ing Columbia, was attended by two pretty
little girls. The float was covered with
yellow nasturtiums.
Branciforte School had a beautiful float
drawn by four gray horses and was built
of a variety of flowers and plants In the
drivers seat sat little Gertie Wyman in
white, with the wide spreading wings of
the butterfly. In the rear in an immense
Gala composed of natural callas, sat Paula
Robinson attended by Lucille Mccormick
and Lucille Smith. Paula represented the
queen of flowers.
But the kindergarten called out the
especial enthusiasm of the people along the
line. 1t was miniature log schoolhouse,
with its playground surrounded by a
rail snake fence. A dozen little tots PLAYED
about it, hung over the fence and looked
from the windows of the country school.
They we're dressed in sombe gray Puritan
garb, and one wore the high pointed FOOLS
cap.
The Grant and Gault schools followed,
carrying little child in hammock.
The turner's brought up the end of the
line with gymnasium on wheels, the men
performing feats of strength and equilib-
rism as they moved along At the arena
the Queen and her retinue had taken their
places on the dais and before her the pro-
cession passed in review. Then the chill
dren formed in front of the throne and
sang america" and gave three hearty
cheers for the Queen, thence they marched
away and through the streets again to the
lower plaza, where the procession was dis
missed.
So ended the opening feature of the third
day of the carnival. The second number
began shortly after 2 2o'clock in the after
noon and turned from land to water again.
Roncovieri's men were in their places
across the river and the tribunes were we'll
filled when the bomb exploding down bv
the bridge announced that the royal pro-
cession by water had begun.
Slowly the grouped flotilla unwound and
stretched its slow length down the lagoon,
keeping close in by the tribunes and led by
the royal barge, which as it passed was
hailed and cheered by Anita's loyal sub
jects. They were the same craft that
figured in the brilliant demonstration of
last night with the addition of fleet of
fishing boats manned by true natives of
the Adratic The line stretched for what
appeared at least half mile. The boats
were held together by their painters form
ing continuous chain.
Director-General Smith, from an ele-
waited position near the throne directed the
maneuvers. The stately procession of
gilded and colored craft with streamers
flying in the breeze, their banners, festoons
and graceful trimmings swinging TO and

of the oars, moved down to the further ex-
