The annual flower carnival at Colo
RADIO Springs took place on the 18th.
While the presence Of the Colorado
volunteers in town distracted the atten-
ton of the people to some extent, 1t in
no way diminished the charm of the
parade. Vehicles. bicycles, horses,
everything, in fact, that made show
ing in the parade, evinced the greatest
painstaking in preparation, and the eff
feet of splendor and beauty that re-
suited was cOrrespOndingly worthy of
appreciation. Flower fiestas have been
talked and written about, but the one
held this afternoon was one in earnest
and was of a character that must be
seen to be appreciated. The grand
stand at the corner of Cascade avenue
and Kiowa street was packed with
spectators long before the hour when
the parade started. The grand stand
itself was so neatly and periodically
decorated that it was an inspiration to
those who occupied seats there.

approval of all the workmen, will go
