The Grant Soap company struck ter
ror to the anarchist heart by hurting
great chunks of soap from its float
which closed the division. The f1oa
was tasty affair and as it passed thu
stand was cheered to the echo.
SCHOONER JIM
Although Schooner Jim" was not or
the official programme, he got in the
parade just the same and Schooner
sfone as he never ''shined" before. He
! was especially fitted up for the occa-
sion; had on a light infantry dress he'll
met, band coat with the rank of bass
| drummer on the sleeve and a pair OF
non-commissioned officers pants, artil-
lery pattern. In addition to these he
wore a. paper collar, a Pabst cane anG
carried ali his sails set Schooner
| put everybody in good hunor by one OF
those inimitable salutes of his, just as
he passed the stand, which had an ex-
ira twist to it.
1t is perhaps giving the Caledonian
club, which came next in a coach and
four hard send off to say they fol-
lowed jim, but it is an eternal truth
for he was Just ahead of them. But
how those Scotchmen did cheer the
queen. Talk about making the welkin
ring! Why they fairly made it howl.
FOURTH DIVISION.
H. P. G. Coates was marshal of the
next division, which was of special in
terest. 1t was headed by the celebrated
Indian band, of Grand Junction, and
the reception the boys got when they
passed the reviewing stand must have
been gratifying to them, for it nearly
drowned the sound of their several in
struments. They make a good show
ing, do those dusky players, and are
well up on music
THE INDIAN FIGHTERS.
Right after them came the scouts
and Indian fighters. headed by Adam
Paul. The old fashioned stage coach
was in line too, and a float where
white man from his cabin was taking
shot at an Indian every few feet
down the street, while the savage was
lodging for dear life behind a rock
entertained the people with something
new. This was the float '1847," of
which such extensive mention has been
made in this and the other papers. The
cowboys and Indian parade was next
in line and F. H. Patterns furniture dis
play.
The Ogden band, the band which has
been the hope and pride of Editor
Glassman, al through his tribulations
about the carnival, headed the next
division and made merry for the people
with their music. They took seats upon
the stand beside the one occupied by
the queen and played a serenade.
THE MINERS FLOAT.
While they were playing, Harlow
Dr. Faust and John Witbeck, with that
miners float, went by. Witbeck was
sharpening genuine drill, heated in a
red hot fire, with all the ease and grace
OF a thoroughbred blacksmith while
harlow was industrious.y engaged in
Keeping -canteen of milk from souring
as the hoat went past the queens

UTAH, 1897"
The float utah, 1897" was cbeered
as 1t passed the grand stand. The |
train rushing from one tunnel to tho |

stamp mill and hosting works in min /
nature, all working, caused much ad-
miratiou.
Following 1897 came the Knights
OF the Maccabees, mounted, about $50
strong. One wag who rode in the rear
mad marked his horse The Tail End
the motto being appropriately fixed
and caused great sport by so doing.
Stencil, the furrier, had very neat
