Albuquerque citizen. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1907-1909, 1907-10-10

The Montezuma ball will occur at
the Alvarado on Friday evening.
All preparations for it have been
made. and the prospect is that it will
be the best of the many Montezuma
balls that society has attended at
past territorial fairs.
The much talked of pedoga is
completed, and 1t Is a feast for the
eye. Those who have seen pictures
of the real thing will be surprised
at the likeness of the one in the lit
tile court at the Alvarado to these
pictures. 1t is almost as high as the
hotel. 1t is square, with queer over
hanging porches on all four sides.
There are three of these porches one
above the other and above each
plants and palms. The colors are
red and green. Little square win
dows are on each side between the
stories. Colored lights in ropes and
clusters light the pegoda from top to
bottom and from its height to the
hotel veranda on every side. I'M
mense Japanese lanterns hang from
the points of the queer porches. The
construction of this pegado is work
of art and the planning of it was
most ingenious.
The west veranda of the hotel has
been enclosed with heavy canvas, to
shield the guests from the night air.
In this enclosure will be served the
banquet The spread will be unusual,
and will be served by pretty maids
in Japanese gowns. The viands may
have Japanese names in Japanese
characters, but that will make little
difference. The spread will be table

A Word to Guests.
The grand march will begin at
$50 O'Clock and will be led by Mrs.

dent of the fair association, and

To the spirited music from a half
dozen bands, between lanes of en-
thusiastic and applauding people,
who crowded the down town streets
for many blocks along the line of
march, the big industrial parade,
the star down town feature of Albu-
querque day of the big fair, came
off this morning on schedule time.
Headed by the city officials and
including a large number of promi-
nent local and visiting citizens and
some of the handsomest industrial
exhibits ever seen in the history of
the fair association, the big process
sion stretched out for twenty blocks
and the crowds who had waited pa
tiently at every vantage point along
the route went home feeling we'll re-
paid.
The old standbys of former terri
torial fair days were nearly all in
evidence among the exhibits togeth-
er with some new ones of equal eX-
cellence.
Promptly at IL o'clock the pro-
cession left the rendezvous at Fifth
street and Silver avenue and headed
north to Copper and thence east to
First street and north again on
Central avenue. The old time popu-
larity of the parade as a feature of
the big fair showed no abatement in
the interest of the crowds. Every
man, woman and child in Albuquer-
que who could be present, and the
thousands of visitors who throng
the city were distributed along the
line of march and for an hour the
other attractions were deserted and
the big procession held full sway.
Tie Parade.
In the first vehicle were Thos. Nc
Millin, chief of police. and Harry f.
Lee, city clerk.
Immediately following and leading
the parade, was Col. John Borra-
dale, marshal of the day.
Major b. Ruppe and Company G.,
were next in line. The guardsmen
were In fatigue uniform and carried
rifles.
Captain Clark NJ Carr and DR.. ].
b. Cutter, of the fair association
committee on United States troops,
and X of the Fifth United States
Cavalry. The troopers were clad in
their nattiest uniforms and made a
splendid showing.
A large United States ambulance
followed the troops and in it were
eight pretty little girls. This was the
end of the first division.
Second Division.
The second division was in charge
of NJ l.. Stern and Alfred Grunsfeld.
The first feature of this division
was one of the cleverest features of
the parade 1t was the old fire de-
partment escorted by fourteen little
girls i'm blue. mounted. The old fire
department was represented by Dad
Greenleaf, w. r. Hopkins. A. Harsh
and Jake Gainsley. These veteran
hremen were members of the first
fire department organized in Albu-
querque.
The city fire department led by
Chief Burtless was next in line and
following the city outfit was
the fire department carried by
Fighting the Flames" This latter
department Is composed of six We
hicles including an aerial truck and
two large steamers. The firemen were
in debonaire attire and the engines
were polished till they shone like
FURNISHED silver In the sunlight
The Indian school.
The Albuquerque Indian school
was represented by several large
floats and a hundred children, musi-
clans and cadets. First came the In
dian school band of twenty-four
pieces, playing excellent music. Then

boys who distributed samples to the
crowds.

Following came the travelling men

of the road who have been making
things lively i'm the city for the past
twenty -four hours. They were all
there and helped to enliYen the line
with the characteristic comment.
Headed by a faithful counterpart of
a Pullman coach followed by an old
time stage coach piled high with
decrepit grips, and escorted by a big

Derby day, the best of all the fair.
That Is today. 1t Is the greatest in
point of attendance at the fair and
the best in everything. Dawning
bright and clear, with warm sum
shine, the day has been all that
could be desired from that stand
point, and since early morning peO-
pie have been pouring out to the
business district and Traction park
to take advantage of everything that
offered in the amusement line. Like
the crowds of the rest of the week,
they came for fun and they are hav-
ing it. Though the size of the crowd,
which is considerably greater than
on the other days, makes it more
difficult to move around, still every
body is happy and seeing everything.

o'clock this morning and all day and
until far into the night they have
and will continue to make people
enjoy themselves The free acts. in
Guiding the revolving ladder high

Reckless Russell in his thrilling
ride down the incline on a bicycle
and his jump into a small pool of
water has probably been the great
est of all these attractions.
