BATTLE OF FLOWERS
Fierce While It Lasted but It Was
All Too Short

When the last exhibit passed out from
the tribunes there was lul in the pre-
ceedings for few moments, and then
the Americus club lined up and. after
displaying their skill in performing in.
tricate figure evolutions, made way for
the living bouquets" and the fairy
coach of little Queen Flora. The floral
queen and her court made a most digni-
fled departure and in passing from the
tribunes were accorded a loving farewell
by the thousands of spectators.
Then the parade again entered and
made the circuit of the tribunes, and in
passing the royal pavilion, where the
judges had taken up their stand, the win
ners of prizes in the several classes were
awarded the guerdon of honor. Then,
too took place the battle of flowers. The
odoriferous missiles flew thick and fast
so long as the dainty ammunition lasted
and it was carried on sans ceremony, for
no one waited for formal introduction
before pelting his or her neighbor. 1t
was good fun while it lasted but II didn't
last long enough. And then as the tail
end of the parade disappeared through
the gateway her majesty and court took
their departure, and the floral exhibittn
was at an end.
