GLIMPSE OF PARADE
of Festivities Stimulates
 Activity in Carnival Circles.


 Since assurance was given that Phoenix is to have a carnival. the Arizona Poultry. Pigeon and Pet Stock association has been active The members have agreed that they will give the public, during carnival week. a free show. unexcelled by any former poultry exhibit. The show will be held on December 5-S. inclusive, prob ably in the Young building For per fecting arrangements this association will hold a meeting tomorrow evening st o'clock at the residence of c. L. Longstreth at 1880 East Adams street.
 The poultry fanciers will conduct their show without aid from the car nival association, and will give an elaborate exhibit. They have not merely confined themselves to the poultry show, but have decided to put out three floats in the grand parade ushering in carnival on Monday The association has the right kind of material and it will make a display of the feathered tribe such as has never been witnessed in Phoenix before.
 Beside this new feature of the parade there will be divers other floats fur nished by business houses and secret societies. A number of firms have not yet been able to give positive assurance that they will be represented. but by the list of firms already agree ing to furnish floats there is reason to believe that there will be splendid commercial display. The list of signers to date is as follows: Arizona Poultry, Pigeon and Pet Stock association, three floats: J. ". Benham. two; Lawrence 6 Clark Vehicle company, two; Indian school, Ellicott Electric company, Milton, Bergman Mercantile com pany, Capitol Harness shop, The New Place, Barkley Commercial company, s. J. Tribolet, Walter Hill, Woodmen, J. W. Bolton, P. T. Hurley, Phoenix Flour mills. Mansfield Rhodes Wheel company, R. Hill, Lightning delivery, MelcZer Bros, each one float.
 Monday mornings parade will be lengthy affair, diversified in it's fea- lures. The carnival association is con- centrating a great deal of it's effort in making the parade a success, and it will be one. Like the parades of the Los Angeles fiestas, though of course on a smaller scale, the Chinese will have out a notable display. The great dragon may make it's appearance and according to the Chinamen who have the matter partially in charge, the Oriental portion of the moving galaxy of marvels will be a prize winner. Among the other features of the pa arde will probably be a few large Ari- zona freighting outfits. An attempt is being made also to get ten or twelve farmers to rig up a provincial over land wagon and exhibit the way old settlers came here to pioneer Arizona. Then there will be a load of new mown hay. R. Hill. Salt River val ley farmer, proposes to point out to the carnival visitors the fact that hay is cut in Arizona in midwinter. He will exhibit a load of hay cut today, follow ing which will be a 1,150-pound 2-year- old mule. a sample of the animals supported by Salt River valley hay.
 Letters were sent on Saturday to the various managers of Arizona foot ball teams inviting their elevens to participate in the parade.
 The Spanish American people are aroused by the signs of approaching festivities and are already making for representation. The Patriotica club, which was organized to conduct celebrations on the great Mexican day of celebration, September 16, will be represented. P. G. de la Lama, president of the club, has issued a call for a mass meeting of Spanish Americans, to be held at the national guard hall at the city hall on Friday night. Decided steps will then be taken in the SDanish- American ar It has already been set tied that the three Mexican lodges will each be represented in the carnival by floats. In addition the as a people will likely put out two more and it is hoped that they will furnish a number of horsemen in truly gay Mexican at | tire They will choose q marshal to !! their section of the parade ] and also a marshal will head the | lodges floats. An organization com | posed of a number of Phoenix senoritas has received an invitation to partici- i pate in the celebration, but it has . not yet decided upon a plan of decora- 1 ton. The young women will be asked . to furnish a quartette for Thursday i night of the carnival to sing the ! famous Mexican air, La Paloma." An attempt also is being made to secure . Mexican dancers to take part in the dancing programme of Tuesday night.
