THE ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE.
This float represented the machine
shop. and it was in charge of Aids j. G.
Camp and ]. II. Andrews. The electric
locomotive was not only a very novel
conception, but was also a most admira-
BILE creation in all respects. 1t was Q

the idea intended to be conveyed. 1t was
fitted with an electric headlight at either
end lit being of the ''double-ender" style
and bell which rang at short intervals.

familiar to all before the world is much

THE BEEHIVE"
This design, in charge of Aids C. A &.
Phipps and p. Watson, was from car
shop No. >, and it was intended to repre-
sent the industrial spirit of the railroad
shops in general. 1t was a very unique
conception, and was greatly admired on
all sides. The central figure was large
beehive with a covering of heavy rope.
on pedestal seven feet square. decorated
with colored lights, with a cluster OF
lights overhead. The car was covered
with a highly decorated canopy, the
space at each end being filed with potted
plants, flowers and vines. Forty bees.
made from electric light bulbs, properly
striped, and fitted with heads and wings
of flexible paper, were suspended around
the hive on flexible wires, and the mo-
ton of the float operated to give them a
very life-like appearance of duttering in
the air.
In the vicinity of the hive was a bear,
who, true to the nature of the brute. was
evidently bent upon a confiscation of
sweets. and the unwelcome reception
given him by the bees was plainly evil
denced by the protest of the ursine paw
| in attempting to ward off the attacks OF
the pestiferous insects. Alongside the
bear was descriptive placard reading "a
Native Son in Trouble" On the front of
the float was the "Queen Bee,n
represented by Miss Jessie Beaton
and two little bees, impersonated
by two little boys - Charlie and
Walter Leinberger. Beautiful trans
parencies on the sides bore the
words. 1.-THE Beehive of Industry" and
on the top of all. proudly perched in the
center, in posture as if about to fly. was
huge eagle, an electric light bulb sus-
pended from his beak. This float was
brilliantly illuminated with colored
lights, arranged in happy combinations.
