The industrial parade was n good one.
the crowd was tremendous and magnif-
cent the weather was glorious; all told.
Tuesday proved another splendid triumph
for Ak-Sar-Ben.
The prizes awarded after yesterdays
parade are noted above. but the rames
OF the judges are not disclosed.
Efforts have been made at estimating
such crowds as that of yesterday: these
efforts are vain--they are futile. Ii was
simply one great. dense mass of people.
through which the great serpentine wound
it length. II people were more numerous
in any one place along the line Of march
il was on tho court house sauare. facing
on Farnam street. because the area there
afforded greater room. The terraced lawn.
the steps, the windows. all parts Of the
court house and grounds were literally
packed with people.
And now for the advent of the king
the twelfth ruler of the house OF Ak-Sar-
Ben. Leading the great electrical pageant
that monarch trlumphantly will march into
the chief city OF his realm tonight and
proudly proclaim HIS majesty.
This Is always a brilliant function and
promises to gain instead Of lose lustre on
this occas'on. Everything that goes to con-
tribute to an ausplcious advent assures
that. The kingdom is more prosperous and
the people more happy than ever. II is
bound to be climax of impressive
grandeur.

Procession of Commerce.
In one long. harmonious procession ths
diversified commercial interests Of omshs

streets of King Ak-sar-Ben's imperial city.
1t was a case of the stores coming to the
shoppers. II was case OF omahas busl-
ness interests on wheels The stores were
closed and happy sales people and proprie-
tors saw pass before them in miniature the
things OF which they have been a part for
so many years. II was a practical display
Of the wonderful commercial houses Of the
Gate City, and yet so artistic we're the
floats so harmonious were the coors. so
interesting and impressive was the effect
OF the whole. the thousands and tens OF
thousands who had congregated along the
line of march were entertained and de-
lighted. The parade carried moral but It
pleased.
The ohicial title of the display. namel by
tine officials OF the court Of King Ak sar-
Ben. was ''omahas Industrial Parade" Il
carried the old-timer back to the days still
remembered, when Omaha was merely the
passageway TO the west and not the stop
ping place; Il carried him back 10 the few
small store buildings and no manufacturers;
back TO the ferry boats and the fords The
comparison shows the accomplishment OF
the seemingly impossible.
