wagons, horses, riders. bands. callinpes
and military contlngcnts which form

over the grounds In seemingly helpless
confusion. But when the signal Is given
by superintendent Frank Hyatt to

the great line OF glittering tableau will
unwind itself and head for the center
OF the city without confusion or hitch
