\ representative of the Register
asked Director Benson what he thought
of the Carnival as compared with 9TH
ers. The crowds" said Mr.. Benson,
while not as large as in some places,
have been very large and have seemed
to be imbued with tAe Carnival spisit.
This is a popularity in connection with
earniEals, this same carnival spirit;
people, who under other circumstances
might be inclined TO be quarrelsome,
'boisterous and fault-fnding, take all
things good naturedly during a carni-
val and seem to feel it not only their
duty but their pleasure to assist in the
general good feeling.
Il was very much grati6ed at the
comments upon u Rex Parade. Some
of these comments come from show
men and out of town people who have
Witnessed the displays at st. Louis and
New Orleans yearly, and are therefore
competent to judge.
Il wish to warn those who want TO
witness the review Saturday night
that the floats will go no farther than
Fourteenth street, the route being
across the bridge to Main, to Tenth,
to Market, to Fourteenth, to Main, to
Seventh and disband. The chief at
traction will be at the Bridge, where
the King will remain during the en-
tire time. The Burlesque Parade will
form upon Market with the head rest
ing at Tenth. When the first band
has given a concert to the King In the
Rex Parade, they will turn down
Tenth to Market, Market to Eleventh,
Eleventh to Main. and Main to Sew
enth, and thus around the line of march
leading the burlesquers. Thus, they
pass in review before the King immed-
lately after the Rex Parade"

The parade of societies and %organiza-
lions, which was the stellar feature on
the programme for Friday, vas not as
large as had been anticipated, but was
nevertheless very creditable. The two
principal displays were made by the l.
r. X. of p. and the Elks, and both were
notably handsome. The crowd that
witnessed the parade was not so large
as that of Thursday night, but it was
assembled in some places in such num-
bers as to make the streets and side
walks virtually impossible.
The participating organizations re-
ported at the place of formation with
c~ommendable promptness, and it was
not later than $3.50 O'Clock when Grand
Master James H. Lancaster gave the or
der to march. The column moved
down Seventeenth street to Market, and
north on Market to Seventh, thence
west to Main and over a section of the
South Side, returning to the business
district and disbandlng about ten
o'clock.
The column was made up as follows:
Chief Marshal j. Fl. Lancaster and Staff
mounted.
Meister's Brass Band.
First Regiment Uniform Rank, knights
of Pythias.
Couer de Leon Co. No. /.
Bernard Stanley Company.

The Uniform Rank Knights OF
Pvtbias, who headed the column, made
a splendid appearance as they marched
up Market street, their handsome uni
forms their military bearing n Skill
ful maneuvers exciting the admiration
of all who witnessed the parade.
The Elks probably received more APP
plause than any ether organization IN
the line. they merited the enthusiast
tic reception which they were given
The members turned out with shlrt
waists. straw hats and canes no vests
Or suspenders. They marched up Mar
ket street in threes, and last night, II
ever they appeared TO merit the term
of Best People on Earth.
There were two features OF the Elks'
turnout meriting especial notice. Oae
was the real live elk, secured for the
occasion from Yellowstone National
Park" The elk was a live donkey, with
elk horns attached to his head. Tho
meek. demure looking little animal at
tracted much attention. The officers of
Wheeling Lodge rode in two open car
riaees which were very tastefully dec
GRATED with flowers. and they were re-
cipients of especial attention from the
crowds on the sidewalk.
The K. of p. battery turned out with
their guns for the first time since the
organization was formed. 1t was a
novel and interesting feature, and the
battery boys received their share of the
applause.
The drummers turnout was preceded
by a wagon filled with sample trunks
The commercial travellers had 40 men
in line. The total membership OF the
Wheeling branch is 50.
The veterans of Branum Post, G. A.
R., rode in a wagon, and were com
mended for their enterprise. The col
ored lodge marched well, and attracted
a great deal OF favorable attention.
