 1.-The next WIS the feature probably
 most generally commended and en- Enthusiastically received of any. It con- sisted of the Indian school delegation. I In advance upon an immense float came the kindergarten class of the school. The float was tastily decorated and each of the score of little Maricopa or Pima youngsters averaging in years from five to eight was becomingly at- tired in fancy costume. The grown
 boys came next, some seventy in num-
 Der, tall, straight and we'll formed and officered by their leaders. Each looked straight ahead, marching in perfect time, the bearing and boise being as
 soldierly as of veterans on parade. The boys are taught to march and have regular drills at the school. else they
 never could have acquitted themselves
 as they did yesterday.
 The girls of the school had not been
 left behind, but appeared next, sixty
 strong, all iu attractive uniforms, their marching being scarcely inferior in
 time and bearing to that of their
 sterner brethren. Superintendent Hall
 and Mrs. Hall drove close upon the
 heels of their charges and seemed to
 take much pride in the vociferous ap
 plause which greeted the delegation on
 all sides.
 The Prescott band were next in line.
 making the street ring with harmony,
 proving that the mountain city appre-
 cates and fosters a superior article
 in that line. They were the escort of
 the honored guests and participants,
 the visiting members of the Ancient Order of United Workmen of Arizona New Mexico and Colorado. The Work
 men were each decked with ribbon badges of their order and were a hand
 some appearing body of men. There
 were some 300 of them in line. It seemed as if the long procession of stalwart visitors, everyone of whom , looked as if he was capable of many a good days work, would never end. The Phoenix protective department was now represented. First was the engine and next the Aztec hook and : ladder. Decked in brilliant colors and |. escorted by couple of youngsters fol- lowed the department goat, whose re- pute in Phoenix for ubiquitousness and privilege is second to no man, woman or creature. He directly preceded bis sponsors, the Pioneers. who were in : full force and uniform. The Victor
 Hose com pany and the Yucatec com
 pany of Mexican boys, who outdid in splendor of appearance all their pre- vious efforts. The entire fire depart
 ment made a magnificent showing, , proving itself fully abreast of the pro- gressive characteristics Of the city. a The parade of COW boys included eome
 forty or fifty rough-and-ready looking ', chaps of the genuine order. Riding at l ease upon their tough looking ponies, 7 with lariat coiied at the pommeI, relns 8 loosely held and kerchiefs tied about : their necks for the most part, they pre- I sented to the visitors picture of the
 business end of the stock industry. The business display was led as usual l by the feature of Gold berg Bros, whose
 representation of steam engine of the . north and south road was easily recog- a nized and fully appreciated.
 Among the other business houses D whose enterprise was exemplfed were : J. w. Benham, whose wood yard and - Navajo blanket business, was quite in : evidence. Wilson & Ward, whose
 gigantic white shoe and bass drum
 caught the eyes and ears of all the Pho-
 nix Stationery & News company, whose wagon was laden with Indian curios, l, sewing machines and other attractive wares; the Williscraft Phoenix Iron Works, the Pioneer Truck com pany and : the high piled dray of the B. Heyman : Furniture company.
 The outpouring of the school children , of the town was an attractive feature comprising most of the little ones from
 the central and east and west end l schools.
 Last but by no means least in attract
 iveness was the company of mounted :. Indians. They were painted and feathered with an exquisite hideousnes ss and clad principally in nothing, They bore the interested scrutiny of the i'm mense crowds of spectators with all the
 impertur bability and stolidlty of their race. An emissary of Chandler, the shoe man, had supplied each of , the noble red men with white flag upon which h!s wares were advertised
