THE FLORAL PARADE.
Mrs. Walter wilkins Awarded the
Prize for the Best Display.

Misfortune attended the floral parade
yesterday afternoon and what promised
to be one of the most beautiful features
OF the Jubilee celebration was spoiled by
series of accidents. 1t was not expected
by the committee that more than dozen
carriages would take part on account of
the great expense attached to decorating
vehicles. While only five carriages were
in the line, the magnificent cut-hower
adornments excited the admiration OF the
crowds gathered along the route, and ap-
plause greeted their appearance.
When the parade started from Washing
ton Circle at ) O'Clock the end of the civic
procession had not yet reached Eighteenth
Street, and much confusion resulted
majority OF the spectators, thinking that
the programme for the day was over be-
gan TO disperse, and the Avenue was block
ed with people and wagons by the time the
carriages started
The Capital Traction Company, contrary
10 agreement, resumed operations as soon
as the end of the civic parade had left
the starting point, with the result that
cars reached Washington Circle at almost
the same time the floral parade turned into
the Avenue from Twenty-third Street.
The carriages. festooned with expensive
flowers and covered with frail canopies,
were consequently obliged to take the
north side Of the street. where they were
scraped by the trees and completely hid
den to the crowds on both sides by the
cars and vehicles. President Mckinley and
party remained on the stand and reviewed
the parade.
The carriages. after passing the review
ing stand, turned into Executive Avenue
and made the circle of the White Lot
twice. They were reviewed by the judges to
award the prize The honor was given to
Mrs Walter wilkins. Mrs. wilkins re-
ceived an ovation along the line of march
and was conceded by everybody to have
driven the most handsomely decorated car
riage. She drove two white horses attach
ed TO a white open carriage with a light
blue canopy. The wheels were festooned
flowers, which made a beautiful picture
and producing a beautiful effect The body
of the vehicle was covered with purple
fiowesr, which made a beautiful picture
against the white background Mrs. VIII
kins handled the ribbons in a manner
which excited general admiration. She
was dressed in a white gown effectively
trimmed with the color which predominat-
ed in the floral decorations.
The other carriages were driven by Mrs
Robert Castelberg, Mrs Beriah wilkins
and Col. Henry May. At the head of the
line was a gun and detachment of cavalry
from Fort Myer. The field piece was al
most hidden under mass of palms and
flowers

Sugar continued to hold its conspicuous

garding the stock is conflicting as usual,
with more assertions by Mr.. Lawson, of
Boston, that the sugar war is over, and
more denials by people more or less con-
nected with the trust. Mr.. Lawson is
understood to be more buliish than ever
