The chariot race from Ben Hur' is the
scene of the fifteenth float. Two chariots,
each with four horses, are on the float. Ben
Hur's horses are shown taking the lead, while
Messela's chariot has broken down, his horses
have fallen and he is hurled from his stand.
A section of the amphitheater is reproduced.
This is the largest float Of the twenty and will
be one of the most spectacular. There axe
six players on it-Ben Hur, Messiah, Iris, a
Roman and two women.
shakespeare's comedy, "A Midsummer
Nights Dream" is the subject OF the sixteenth
float. A forest and a huge donkey's head are
produced on this vehicle. The donkey rep
resents the jack-ass into which Bottom was
converted. Ropes have been fastened to the
mouth and ears of the donkey's head so that
they can be moved. During the parade the
mouth will be opened and closed and the ears
will be raised and lowered. The personagss

here are Demetruls, Lysander, Helena, Her
mia, Puck and three fairies.
The seventeenth float is entitled Julius
Caesar" This consists of representation Of
the Roman senate, with large columns at the
front Of the building. On both sides of the
structure are figures OF Greek deities. At the
front of the float is the figure of a wolf stand
ing guard over two babies, Romulus and
Remus, the mythical founders Of Rome.
Julius Caesar will be seated in front of the
senate on a throne. Surrounding him will be
Marc Anthony, Cassius, Casca, Flavius and
Octavius Caesar.
Richard III" furnishes another throne
scene for the 1otilla. The throne of this play
is very beautiful and is extensively decorated.
A large dagger, near the center of the float,
rests between the duke of York and the duke
of Lancaster. On the front of the float is the
coat-of-srms of Great Britain. Richard III

will be seated upon the throne. The other
characters represented will be Queens Ann
and Margaret and the dukes of York and Lam
caster.
Cleopatra's famous barge is on the nine
teenth float. This barge is beautifully draped.
Beneath a canopy Cleopatra reclines with An
thong at her side. Four slaves are at the
oars. On the float besides the two principals
and the four slaves are Octavius, Iris and a
Roman general. The title of this float is
Cleopatra"
The last float, as usual. is King Ak-sar-
Ben's. There is a large throne near the rear,
with horns of plenty on either side. At the
front is the head of a buffalo. Distributed in
all parts are the products of Nebraska and the
west. The king, seated upon the throne, will
be guarded by four knights.
The floats this year will be drawn by
horses, as has been the custom in past years,

of all the floats. 1t will have eight charac-
ters. as follows: The Mikado, Pooh Bah ko
Ko. Pish fish, Yum Yum, Pitt Sing, Pa Boob
and Katisha.
Probably the largest Of the floats and the
one most extensively prepared is The Land
of Nod" with it's famous house of cards. This
house. of course, is the main setting OF the
stage and is shown in as much splendor as the
inventive power Of Gus Rene could make IN
the display. The lighting effect on this hoat
is the best of all the strange hotilla and Chief
Renee goes into ecstacy in telling about it.
Eight characters are carried on this vehicle
four being serenadors, two card men and two
card girls. This eleventh creation of Chief
penza,s is the one most admired by him.
Three scenes from Washington Irving's
"Rin Van Winkle' are presented on the
twelfth float. At the fore end in a cavern is
the famous bowling alley. with Hendrick Hud-
son and his men playing tenpins. On the side
of the float, below a string of mountains, is a
painting of a village showing the inhabitants
of Rips home town. On top OF the Katskill
mountains Rip is shown in the act of awaken
ing after his slumber of twenty years. At the
rear of the float his dog Snyder is awaiting
lie ItluIu. CIV ho oChOAH WIN pS uoSN
on this float, Rip Van Wrinkle, Hendrick Hud-
son and. ten little men.
From the delightful musical comedy, The
Wizard of o. has been drawn material for
the thirteenth member Of the hotilla. The
scene here depicted is the one that is pre-
scented in the play after the cyclone has ripped
things up in Kansas fashion. A castle, be-
longing to the Wizard, is standing on one end
of the float. At the other is a rail fence, and
hanging to 1t is the Strawman. Just in front
of him is the calf gazing up at him. Near by
will be the Girl from Kansas. Of whom the
Strawman, as he looks down, inquiries with
reference to the calf, lis that your cow" The
Tinman is not far off, and during the parade
he will be seen in the act of oiling his joints.
The Wizard of Or is to be seen at the door Of
his castle.
"The Prince of Pilsen" is the name Of the
fourteenth float. On this eight students will
be seen under an arbor singing the stein song
of the we'll known musical comedy. A cliff
with the old Heidelburg college on it forms
the scenery Of this float. The eight students
of this play will be selected from Ak-Sar-Ben's
world famous opera, "Paprika Schnitzel."
They will be, in fact, members Of the ballet,
which has an international reputation.

and will be lighted by electricity secured from
the street railway company. Gus Rene has
invented a triangular head for the trolleys, so
that they Will not become detached from the
supplying wire. In past parades the trolleys
often slipped off the wires in turning corners,
leaving the floats dark until the rods could be
connected with the wire again. The new de-
vice will keep a continuous connection and
there will be no dark floats this fall.
An effort is being made to have the night
parade this year the best ever held, and in ad-
dition to giving special attention TO the cleo
trical and decorative features of the floats, the
other details have been arranged with exceed
ing care.
The music for the parade will be furnished
by twelve bands, eight or ten Of which will
come from outside towns. The incompleted
list Of bands for the night parade includes
musical organizations from the following
places; Atlantic, Ia; Blair, Nebraska City.
Fullerton, Stromsburg, Plattsmouth, Lyons
and Fremont. Two Omaha bands-Kipling-
er's and Green's-will be in this parade.
There are to be but two parades this year,
the military pageant being the second one.
This will be held Thursday afternoon, October
10, and will be the largest and most impress
sive of its kind that Omaha has ever wit
messed. There will be 5000 men and 1000
horses in line.
All the government troops that are taking
part in the western military tournament at
Des Moines will be sent here. Besides these
there will be troops from Forts Crook and
Omaha and the local militia companies, in
Guiding the Thurston, Omaha and Dahlman
Rifles.
The following government troops will take

gun platoon and Sixteenth infantry from Fort
