As II seeking to pay the ladies OF Hous-
ton a special compliment the sun, which
had persistently refused TO show its face
during the preceding forty-eight hours,
came out in all its golden splendor about
2:so o'clock yesterday afternoon. 1t shone
as only a Texas sun can shine and IN con
sequence what had promised 10 be chilly,
damp and altogether disagreeable day Tor
the flower parade the concluding event OF
the San Jaclnto Day celebration, was
transformed into a glorious few hours OF
warmth and light and color As a further
consequence tho flower parade itself
proved TO be one OF the very prettlest
things OF the kind ever seen in this sec
tiof. On account OF the inclemant condi-
tiou CT the weather on Friday. and eyen
during the morning yesterday, many OF
the ladies who had signiGed their intention
OF participating In the event did not ap-
pear. having delayed their preparations
until too late to make them In time to
Join the others who had arranged their
decorations and other necessary details
earlier. In consequence Of all this, Of
course. there were not nearly so many
vehicles in line as there would have been
uu1rr other clrcumglanceg but all NJ thogn
which did appear were decorated in q
manner which showed the artistic taste OF
their respective owners and, further
demonstrated just what Houston can do In
this line II the proper efforts are put forth
by those interested
