with their horses and cannon, and in
brilliant new uniform, created much ap-
plause. They are a line looking set of fell
lows and everybody fell in love with
them yesterday. The cannon was decor
ated.
Next came the big boat representing
Paramount college At the front of the
boat was a large sail, at which was print
ed the name and picture of the college.
The 1900 senior college class occupied the
boat, dressed as the nine muses. and the
inspired poet carrying the harp. The
float was covered with Kansas sunfiow-
ers.
Mrs. W. H Bretsch and Mrs. F. w.
George rode in a phaeton, which was
beautifully trimmed by them in pansies
Of every description. The beautiful flow
ers were run in and about the phaetOn in
a manner that would have done credit to
the most professional decorator, and the
women got many compliments on their
work
The patriotic spectacle Of the fourth d.
vision was Captain Ezra Beard and Com
pany A, Kansas National Guard, which
with their even and majestic swing and
fine marching, created enthusiasm every
where in the parade. The company has
been lately organized, and its uniform is
bright and pretty They carried their
rifles across their shoulders, and the reg
ularity Of their movement was a splendid
credit TO them.
No. Y was a small cart, to which was
hitched a pretty Shetland pony. The cart
was handsomely decorated in red and
white chrysanthemums. II belonged 10
young Harry Sternberg, and the decora-

worked around in the trimming, two
scrolls being worked in the front wheels
and two in the rear wheels, with the same
design in front and back The carriage
was trimmed by Mrs. Barnes, and was
occupied by her and Miss Lillian Lewis.
Lewis Academy had a handsome float
and some loud and catchy yells which
could not help but draw a great deal of
attention to their school. The float rep
resented a Grecian temple, in which the
senior class and teachers were seated
One Of their college yells was
Hear US, cheer us,
Orange and white;
Lewis Academy,
She's all right
Following this float was No. 8, a phae-
ton trimmed in purple and white chrysan-
themums. It was led by two men, and in
it were seated little Elsie Jeanette Fitch
and Bessie Oakley Davidson.
One of the prettiest spectacles in the
parade was that of the Fire Queen, i'm
personated by little Edna Goldstandt. She
rode in a miniature hose cart, made
by the fire boys. The cart carried 100 feet
of hose and three MOBILES It was decor
ated profusely with white chrysanthe-
NUNS, and was drawn by two Shetland
ponies, furnished by Mr.. Woodring of
South Wichita The little queen looked
handsome in her white satin gown with
gold lace and brilliant trimmings She
wore a helmet belonging to Chief Walden,
which came from a London fire. On the
rear step of the cart stood two little fire
boys representing the ladies that fight
in smoke, gas and water.
