HARVEST FESTIVAL DAY TO
BE GREATEST YET
Two Miles of Decorated Floats
Vehicles, Horses and People
Line of March Long
One

Things are lined up pretty we'll
for the biggest industrial parade on
Harvest Festival Day, Thursday,
Aug. %, ever seen in Greeley. 1t is
estimated bv the chief marshal and
his aids that the parade will be
nearly two miles long and they have
laid out the line to be followed ac-
cordingly.
The parade will form on Seventh
avenue as usual with head resting on
Ninth street. AT about 8 O'Clock
it will move up Ninth street to
Ninth avenue; south to Thirteenth
street: west to Eleventh avenue and
north to Main street; east to Seventh
avenue and north to Seventh street !;
west to Eighth avenue and north to
Fifth street: west to Thirteenth
avenue and south to Sixth street !;
east to Eleventh avenue; south to
Seventh street: east to Ninth avenue
and south to Main street: west on
the north side of the street through
the park to Eleventh avenue. There
1t turns south and disperses.
1t is believed that this route will
make the ends Of the parade clear
each other. But If not, instead of
turning south on Eleventh avenue to-
disperse the line will be led farther
west to Fourteenth avenue. People
living along the line Of parade are
requested to decorate. their homes In
white and yellow, the club cofors.
Green may be substituted for the
white.
Following will be formation of
the line of march Of the parade:
First division-Chief of police and
force, grand marshal. aides, band
and automobiles. They will form
on Seventh avenue, south of Ninth
street, with right-or head-resting
at intersection.

floats will form on Thirteenth street,
west of Seventh avenue, with right

council, city and county officers car

partment carts, burlesque floats or

The representation of automobiles
in the parade this year will be muc'
greater than in previous years owing
to the much greater number OF ma
chimes in the town and country /
There will probably be not less than
fifty of these in line. 49,,
The horse show and parade Will
also be an attractive feature. While
last year there were some prizes lof
the best appearing work team OF
nair of drivers, there was not the at
tempt made to feature these as Has

mentioned the prizes for dihefe''
clsases of colts that will be given at
the Island Grove park races. 1iete
