LAST NIGHTS PARADE.
1t Was Turned Over to the Carnival
King Intoto.

King Intoto.
Last nights parade was turned over
to the carnival king, a gentleman with a
PAPER maohe face and horse hair
whiskers, who sat on the throne once oc-
cupied by the divine Jean and with a
hoWllnS horde of prime ministers with
all sorts of countenaces, made the peo-
pie laugh as they have not laughed since
the time when Harlow rescued the can
| teen of milk from souring on the first
days turnout
With the exception of the crescent
hoat and the sego lily float. which were
reproduced with additional attractions
and new faces, and one or two merchants
floats, the balance We're turned over to
the merry throng with masks and faces
galore, who whooped it up while the
pageant lasted and were shouting on the
way home.
/ The bands however. did not change
/ their expressions any, because band
man cannot blow with anything on his
face, except a horn. He has to have the
free use of his facial features, especially
that portion which is situated directly
under his nose, and While masked
! Keep that not atooting and atooting,
! the fellow who jumps from lower G 10
/ upper G in one little bit of a toodle doodle

AN IMMENSE CROWD.
The crowd on the street was an enorm-
| Gus one and entered into the fun of the
occasion with zest which betokened
satisfaction, although the ''yap," who has
been mentioned in these columns, did
| what he could 20 terrify and annoy
women with babies and old and nervous
men. The "yap" never attempts any
thing in the shape of good strong
healthy man and didn't depart from his
usual custom last night.
GENERAL CANNON LEADS.
General John Q. Cannon had the honor
OF leading the parade last night and when
| seen coursing down Main street at gal
lop, it appeared as though he was en-
gagged IN an earnest endeavor to ''yump
his yob." Right behind the general came
little coon, who was mounted on a
risky bay horse which seemed to have
no other object in living save to over
take the steed ridden by the officer and
hold conversation with him. Both were
making good time when they passed
Walker Bros. store but the pursuer was
evidently gaining on the pursued.
BICYCLE PARADE.
Mullet & Co. had procession of BIZ
cycles in the lead of the parade, some of
which were unique in design, but all
conceived with the single idea of in
forming waiting and listening public
that NJ. & Co. sell shirts, collars and cuffs
and do general clothing business, with
a bike trade on the side
Behind these came a lot of bicycle
riders with bike faces bike backs"
bike hands and bike humps" The
wheels having passed, the grand marshal
hurled a few profound and dignified
salutes in several directions and all at
the same time.
MGARVIE AND BROCKBANK
The Sixteenth Infantry band headed
carriage containing Director General
McGarvie and Ern Brockbank who were
apparently obvious to the fact that every
hT1(fx 1rr
apparently engaged in an earnest discus
sion of the questions as to whom shall
bet nominated at Chicago on Tuesday.
Troop followed them.
HAIL TO THE KING.
The king of the carnival and his court
were nteXt and they were a cosmopolitan
set TO look at. There were Cinnamon,
never Toasted on the groves and ancient
bridges of Japan; Arabs, whose swift
horses never traversed the hot and
burning sand of the desert and several
this carnival. All were talking in an
imitation Of the supposed land of their
birth and the conversation, taken as a
whole, resembled a circular saw, with
three teeth out cutting through a knot in
a hard pine log. But it was fun just
the same and all the people laughed.
The sego float was peopled with three
little girls dressed in white, whose child
light which set off their infantile in
nocence and grace to perfection.
The Denhaluer band headed the first
calcium float in the line and the latter
was followed by portion of the medical
staff of the National Guard in a carriage.
washington Crossing the Delaware
and the Signing of the Declaration of In
dependence" floats were next in line and
elected just as much applause as during
the afternoon.
Next came a float as was float. There
were old men and young men, kids, dress
ed and ndressed-partially, whiskers and
smooth faces, masks and no masks, news
paper reporters and lots of people who
were not reporters and couldn't be if they
tried, all joining in different songs at the
same time and chanting the praises of
the king of the carnival, who was man
with a great head and lots of money TO
back his grey matter with If he choose
to spend it-so the song said.
The Crescent float and the flower basket
and the w. c.. T. u. float were all to-
gether in the line and looked much pref
tier than in the day light.
MORE FLOATS.
Auerbach came along with his business
float Illuminated by an electric light, OBJ
tanned by the use Of a double trolley
worked on the street car line and there is
the rock on which the crowd split. Down
on lower Main, where the police were few
and the crowds numerous, the men work
ing the machine, who seemed to be Tar
short OF knowing what lHey were dDOul
permitted the trolley to get off and for
few moments electrical disturbance filled
the air in large chunks. The people didn't
know what was coming and one woman
tainted, man ran against the wire and
got shock-of profanity from the troll
ley man-and confusion reigned supreme
for a time. An electric current is as bad
as too many dried currents, they hey double 6Ie
scared. Pop Eslinger, who is
thorough electrician and a greater pusher
away of crowds, got matters adjusted
and the float went on The Ogden band
came up and played annie Pixley" and
good humor was restored.

''Horribles," because the idea was patent

band, Colonel William Lightfoot Peyton.

up there yesterday next appeared and de-
lighted hearts of the adults and scared
the small children half to death, with
their homely artificial faces.
More business floats were then in order
and among them Fishers, which had the
foam all burned off the schooner by
