onshoW to have fun out of a carnival.
The German societies had their turn
in the evening, and opened their pro-
gramme. with a parade that was one OF
the finest of the entire carnival season
thus far Thissparade was distinctive
in it's character, and to a person view
ing it without previous knowledge of
it's constituency. the fact must have
been plainly, apparent that it was a
turnout of German societies. And as
such it was az credit to- the city and to
the nationality in whose name 1t was

Germans Parade.
The forma ton of the parade has al
ready been published in complete form
in The Gl o b e, but from that alone
no idea could be- obtained of the many
details which contributed to make 1t
one of the most pleasing Spectacles
presented in the course of the carnival.
AS whole, and throughout. its en-
tire length, the parade expressed the
consonance Of the German and Ameri-
can nations.
In the lead rode the customary pla-
toon of mounted police, and immedi--
ately following the. first band. was
borne the American flag, with a guard
American Veterans association.
Further along the line came the
German flag, carried by thirty young
women, half of whom wore shoulder
sashes of the German colors. while the
others were similarly decorated with
the red, white and blue All wore lib
erty caps to match their other decora-
tions.
Preceding and accompanying the
young women were number of boys
carrying Japanese lanterns. Lodge and
throughout the entire line of parade,
and their contrasting -colors added
greatly to the attractiy eness of the
spectacle.
Two handsome and elaborate ,tableau
floats We're features of the parade that
won admiration. On one of these was
presented Germania and Columbia and
banners printed in German expressed
the friendly feeling which the picture
was intended to typify. Atss
The other float accompanied Schiller
Grove of Druids and was symbolical OF
that order and the principles upon
which it. is founded. The car was
drawn by eight horses with amor
clad poStillionS and armored outriders
and on the stage was a group of Dru-
ids CARRIED in white gowns and cowls
assembled about camp fire amidst
forest surroundings.
It is estimated that there were be-
tween $500 and 5000 men in line, rep
resenting all of the principal German
societies of the city and many visiting
organizations. Col A. r. Kiefer was
chief marshal and his aids were Louis
F. Schulz, Henry Bueger, w. j. Rad
bruch and A. Obst.
