In section s, devoted entirely to floats,
there were twice as many exhibits deserv-
a VI SDCtA1l NV Ah US lntiC PAA1ESt
for a great many people picked out this
classification as that for which effective
exhibits could best be prepared. First prize
lin this division was captured by Ardath
Stager Potts. daughter Of DIR. and Mrs.
George Potts, of Ocean Grove. There was
a great fuss and furore about getting this
entry classified. The judges of the float
division declared the baby was a go-cart
entry and vice versa. Pretty Mrs. Potts,
who was exhibiting her first born, rushed
around from one set of judges to the
other, seeking to be taken In somewhere,
and this attracted 30 much attention to
her beautiful exhibit that she got lusty
cheers from thousands of the throats de-
manding that recognition be given.
The trouble of classification arose from
the fact that the float was built on go-cart
wheels. The Loaf judges said the wheels
would have to be heavier to get In their
division. When they gave way they
awarded the contestant the silver loving
cup, donated by C. w. Liddle, of New
York. Little Miss Potts represented THE
Rough Riders Valentine" The little girl
had white wings and was scantily at
tired in a white costume. She sat on a
great red heart of roses and was pulled
by her mother.
One Of the cleverest exhibits was Mrs.
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" Mrs.
Wigs, as g farmers wife, preceded her
cabbage patch along the line of march.
This cabbage patch was borne aloft by
twenty girls, who had their heads
through the top of the patch, much as a
persons head would stick through a stock.
