Los Angeles herald., 1907-05-09

the Diamond fioated on its bright way,
undimmed by the proximity OF Ns
5 sister stone of almost equal DIT DTlgmi;ness gIr;th q
breathless silence and then. round aIter
round of handclapping voiced the aoLnlra- i
tion of the throng for this one OF the
most striking of the displays or the elec-
trical designs in its very simplicity. In
the center huge diamond, outlined with
countless electric lights of the purest
white, with pretty girls in its heart made
almost ethereal in their loveliness by the
filmy veil of white, formed the central
portion of the float, while at the four cor
ners were smaller diamonds. each with IT'S
own beauty but half yelled About the
base of the float were massed the bright
| lights that made 1t one of the brightest OF
the many bright creations
Fish Wins Much Praise
With its flaming formation of the sea, in
striking contrast to the pure white of the
Diamond, the Coral with it's huge fish
swimming along through space, brought
forth burst of admiration from the peo-
pie Who lined the streets all along the line
of march. The big fish with the wonder
fully constructed tail that turned first to
one side and then the other, and the head,
| first one way and then the other, and COM
pleting this the great red mouth opening
and shutting, was the topmost feature
of this float, while beneath 1t the red
light casting a pretty glow over them, the
girls of this float looked out over the
cheering throngS
Decked with lilies no less fair than the
maidens that graced the float the Anne
thyst, with it's light colorS, its hundreds
of electric lights placed in every conceiv-
able position and the great stone on either
side outlined with tiny electric lights, for
all the world like some stone in a bishops
ring sienifying the episcopal office, this
float was greeted as one of the messengers
from fairyland and the riders all fairy
queens
Big Black Cat the End
Toe OF 1,t,t ,nf nd pa1 11iOpr forth
hearty laugh, the Great Black Cat, with
its arched back, its tail rising and falling
until one could almost hear 1t growl, its
head turning to one side and then the
other with blazing eyes, represented the
mystical cats eye stone Its inky black
ness, outlined with bright electric lights,
a big bow tied about it's neck, this feline
was much cheered, towering as it did
above the pretty girls who surrounded 1t.
Then long look up the street, with the
ever moving array of light as it went
farther and farther away, every color of
the rainbow moving in and out in mass
of brightness, the like of which has sell
dom been equaled, the floats wended their
way up one street and down another
looming up on the horizon of red lights as
a. dim light and going out in the same way,
the pretty girls bowling to right and to
left, people cheering all along the route
and then joining in and following along
the line of march to secure just another
look at the bright beauties that seemed
as though they would go out as a pleasant
urealn, ana the HoatS passed out OF the
bright lights into the darkness of the
night, and in a few moments, in the
twinkling of an eye, all the brightness was
gone. the girls dismounted and the beaute- |
Gus creations of mans mind lightless and
lifeless were taken to their abiding place
to await the coming of another night, to
shine forth again in all their glory, and
then-then to go out forever, never again
to call forth the cheers and shouts of joy
from happy city full of visitors and
citizens proud to show what can be done
Once more will these bright orbs of fas-
cinating light show their plumage and
then pass into oblivion-sans beauty, sans
light, sans everything.
