garb of convict. His face was blacken-
cd and on one shoulder he carried a shovel
and a pick on the other. Attached to the
pick was a placard with the inscription:
II am on my way 10 make good roads,

excellent and was highly COM
mended on all sides. Lieut.. owen

and for the time being he came down from
the dignity Of officer TO that OF patrolman

nicality one OF the best feature OF the
pageant will not receive prize. Il

Bell and Frank Purdy. There was no
class In which this float could be entered.
The Chatham Artillery wheelmen did

meath a comet, which was studded with
electric lights operated from a storage
battery. Nearly every part OF the wheel
where an electric lamp could be put had
a glimmering light. Mr.. Walkers design
was original and pretty.
