MRS. SUTTON'S HARD WOLK
Is Crowned With the Most Flattering
Success.

success.
The promise the ladies of the Fall
Festival floral parade committee made
recently that the list of prizes for dec
OratiOns on that occasion would be
greatly increased was redeemed at their
meeting at the court house yesterday
afternoon.
1t was done, however through the
efforts of Mrs c. S. Sutton, who was in
no way a member of the committee
but who, anxious that it should be
success, started out last Monday to get
1t out of its apparent dilemma
Yesterday she was able to present to
the committee for use as prizes $3.50.
Below is the list. The $35 prize was
made up of donations principally from
the hotels. Mr.. DOOlittle of the ThrOOp
gave IS and Mr.. Gordon of the Cope
land and Mr.. De Moss of the Fifth ave-
nue. each gave the same. The rest was
raised by donations ranging in size
from 10 cents to 81.
It will be seen by the list that there
is q prize for every possible entry and
for some of them three or four.
In recognition of her services and
success the ladies Immediately elected
Mrs. Sutton chairman of the ways and
means committee and put the decOra-
tive feature of the big parade entirely
in her hands.
There is one thing I wish understood
about this parade" said Mrs. Sutton,
and that is, no firm or individual shall
use it or any of it for advertising pur-
poses. There are one or two other
parades during the week for that. 1t
will not be allowed in this one. OF
course a lodge or club may have it's
name on its float That is not adver-
Using.
Again, it must be understood that
these prizes are for the floral parade
only. not for the bicycle parade of
Tuesday night nor any other parade but
ours"
Mrs. Sutton and the ways and means
committee are holding a. meeting this
afternoon at the court house.
