| MISS GARLICK'S PONY CART.
Miss May Garlick needn't ever worry
about what folks thought of her pony

Pink and white conspired to convert her
Itwo-wheeler into a fairy barge can

looked as if they were the real blushing
sort and had clambered I'D there to do
their growing and were pleased with the
location. The pony came in for its share
of praise and posies and stepped away as
proudly as If it had been big enough 10

horse, headed division OF the pal ade.
After him came other patrolmen :ttired
in their dark blue uniforms. The men
were Messrs. Sutton, Renspeace, cores,
| Osborne and Washburn, ard each sat OF
his horse as though he were ma-chir g
to the music of thousanis Of bands IN
martial times. The hoses were deccra,ed
with red plumes, red collars and each

down the street.
| The patrolmen ware forced to lift their
hats many times along the rcr.e CT lie

THE QUEENS MARSHALS.
| Next came the heralds of the queen,
and looking it every inch, Mr.. Orville
Boyle and Mr. Walter Vincent. They
preceded the queens float and were fol-
lowed by two buglers. Both had evenly
matched gray horses which were alive to
the occasion and lifted their silver hoofs
proudly. Messrs. Boyle and Vincent were
wrapped about with lavish sashes of pink
| flowers. AS these marshals swung into
Douglas avenue, where the crowd was the
greatest, they were given a loud hurrah
which rustled the nearby bunting.
QUEENS FLOAT.
Drawn by Dold's six large and spirited
| iron gray horses came the Queens Float
was the imagery of a great swan. Tt
presented a realistic appearance as the
| great bird seemingly swan in all statli-
! ness through the vast sea of humanity
White and gold were used in pretty eff
feet to decorate the float. The scalloped
| railing was trimmed with selected kaffir
: corn Around the sides was dropped a
drapery of white cloth enriched with
golden floral border. From the rear end
maiestically arose the throne bearing aloft
the regal seat which was seemingly Sup
ported by two kingly lions bending low
under their imperial burden. There, at
tired in royal gown and flowing purple
robe, adorned with Jewels invested with
dignity by the queenly crown, Miss Hin
ton sat serenely yet impressively the
Carnival Queen, while above her with ali
| its imposing fullness hung the srow-white
canopy, ornamented with golden rosettes.
Below the queen sat in stately waiting
| the Maids of Honor. all dressed In white
apparel From their head gear doated

were: Miss Rose wallenstein, Miss Daisy
Lynch, Miss Jetta Campbell, Miss Laura
Pierce. Miss Pearl Murdoch. Miss Anna
Brown, Miss Lena Cox, Miss Ada Scott
The queens float was most wonderful

THE BLUE AND WHITE TRAP.
Then came a trap which was an unfn-
| aginable perfection in blue and white
While the comparisons heard from the
crowd were never invidious, there was
| not one of the 5000 delighted onlookers
| hut uttered some exclamation of supreme
and complete satisfaction on beholding
| this marvel. It was not so much that
| there was nothing in the ensemble which
should not be there as that everything
| demanded by artistic unity and proper
| ton was there. Brightness and delicacy
| Of color-elegance of the geometrical
lines or figures traced In the respective
colors-alI was perfection. This trap was
! occupied by four ladies', officers Of the
| Wichita Hospital. X was drawn by
pair of beautiful white horses. tossing
names and streaming brushes glistening as
snowy, silverlike as thistledown- Their
| harness was in keeping. Grooms in blue
and-white livery led the horses. The
ladies occupying the trap were richly
| costumed and certainly had enough for
the four OF them to do in acknowledging
the concentrations OF the enraptured
spectators.
