THE TRADES DISPLAY.

display in Yorkville yesterday. There
were people here from everywhere
throughout this section to see it. They
had been told that 1t would be worth
their while, and they were expecting
something out of. the ordinary; but
they were hardly prepared for such
an elaborate and extensive pageant as
was presented. Many Of them had
seen such displays In surrounding
towns. and they had their own ideas
as to what Yorkville. would probably
be able to do. They were hardly pre-
pared to see the complete undoing of
all previous achievements along this
particular line in this section; but
everybody was generous enough to
concede full credit, and the general
verdict was that the display generally
was up to the most exacting require
ments Of such undertakings.
About the only hitch in the pro-
gramme was that the procession was
to have started at about IL o'clock,
and 1t did not move until nearly IL.
But that was in no sense the fault OF
any mismanagement. All the floats
were on hand promptly at the ap-
pointed hour, and the start would
have been made on time, except for
the fact that the east bound Southern
train was late. The people Of western
York, especially Hickory Grove camp
Of Woodmen, had shown a most gen.
erous interest in the whole affair and
train to get to Yorkville, the process
sion was held back pending their ar
rival. AS soon as the western York
people were able to get into their
places the orders were given for the
start.
The procession formed up on Kings
Mountain street, moved down through
Congress street past the Tavora mill,
thence back up to and out East JEFF
ferson street to College street and
along East Liberty to the court house,
whence the floats went back to their
respective owners.
The streets. the front yards, the
private residences and the stores were
full of people from everywhere, and
everybody seemed to enjoy the whole
affair most thoroughly. There was no
disorder Of any kind, no confusion, no
accident or other untoward incident
to detract from the interest In or mar
the pleasure of the occasion.
Chief of Police Love and Mr.. John
w. Miller of the executive committee,
rode in front of the procession, di.
recting its course.
