 AT MOBILE.
 MOBILE, Feb. 26.-The carnival in Mo- bile was decided success this year, and the crowd of visitors larger than ever. The parades were on grander scale than ever before attempted. Nearly every one of the forty floats in the vast parades were mechanical, and as they passed through the streets they moved like things of life, making the display the most realistic event seen here. The day parades were given by the Comic Cowboys and the Knights of Revelry. The former was satire on local events of the past year, and was entitled "Mobile Through a Telescope" There were six floats, as follows:
 "Moblel See How We Crow" "Stella and Her Nanny,'' "Noah's Ark, IA Mobile Novel, schooDers That Go Down on the Bar, '' "Mobile Grain Eleva- tor and Match Factory "lce Cream Re- ception Day Aboard the, Cruiser Mont gomery.p
 The subject of the Knights of Revelry was the ''1he Signs of the Zodiac,' and the floats were gorgeous and the costumes magnificent. The floats were twelve in number-''The Ram,'' "The Bull," ''The Twins,'' ssThe Crab," ''The Lion,' "The virgin," "The Scales,'' '.rhe scorpion," "The Arcber," .,The Goat,'' ss1he Water Bearer'' and "The Fshes.''

The subject was "Legends of Charle- magne," and was depicted on thirteen floats as follows: mbiem,' ''Title Float,'' ssRivaldo in the Enchanted Barge,'' t1he Bridge of Oblivion,' "Manricardo and the Serpent,o ''The Fountain of Love,' "Bradamante and Atlas, "Astolpho's Trip to the Moon, o "Astolpho in the Moon ' ''The Waters of Oblivion ,'' "Astolpho's Army" "Mala- gigi and the Evil Spirits," 'tOgier's Re- turn to France.''
