MASK CARNIVAL BROWNING
 EVENT OF THE FIRST DAY

Naco, the four places where the com pany has stores.
 Master John Downs, comfortably ensconced in a rolling palace of white. afforded the Palace Livery company an output that would be most diff cult to excel. The miniature driver was scarcely visible in the beautiful rig but firm grip on the lines demon strated the fact that the boy was not to be overlooked in the display.
 A demonstrator in the display of the Standard Furniture company proved to the convincing of everybody along the line of the parade that certain stove lids will not and can not be broken. Try as he may. the incessant pounding but further demonstrated the fact that the aforesaid lids were on the order of ada-nant
 With the Pioneer Soda Works, it vas simply case of everybody have cool drink and those not served simply failed to get in touch with the display which was creditable.
 When the Orpheum Theater crowd appeared, it was the signal for gen eral and hearty laugh. Not at the women in Columbia costumes on the order of bah room style, but at the comedians rigged in genuine behind the foot lights style and each of the three separate and distinct hit.
 Modesty forbids detailed descrip- ton of the float entered by the Re- view but at any rate, some one re marked that all the girls were pretty and the tea scene was decidedly in Th< .,J,,,s ttf,,, of the Stars and Stripes.
 It remained for the NJ. & o. clothes cleaning establishment to resort to the limit in presenting a bur-o. equally divided in the colors of Uncle Sam and evidently demonstrative of the ability of the shop to turn new tricks with old clothes.
 The Pioneer Lumber company ap- reared in massive float with any and all kinds of samples from their yard supply which was neatly and attrac- lively displayed.
 Winning Float Appears.
 A float in the form of beautiful floral arbor represented the Fair store. On either side of the body of the wagon on white in red letters ap- peared the words "The Fair" sur mounted by the national shield and this body of white was set off by trel- lises of green and twining vines. The design proper was mounted above this and consisted of an arbor over which twined poppy vines in prof1sion mak- ing a charming contrast in green and gold, while. from the four corners arose beautiful silk flags. three to NE;fhia ha float VII four pretty girls, one garbed as the Goddess of Liberty and the others clad all in white robes and wearing flowing sleeves. The whole ensemble was truly charming and reflected credit on the artistic talent and dec orative skill of J. L. Silverthorn. the Fair advertising man and window dec orator, who had designed the exhibit ana personally attended to its build ing.
 C. M. Henkei, the jeweler, produe- ed a mammoth wedding ring in which two decidedly young swains continu- ally pledged their troth and always unmindful of the gazing public.
 The City Blacksmith company brought out a dilapidated rig which had evidently seen better days but which pictured their business and which brought forth comments as to originality.
 Then came the wagons of the War. ren laundry and the. Lightning shoe shop, each yoicing without unneces- sary words. their business and their allegiance to Bisbee.
 Ed Fletcher appeared with an en- viable tandem, bedecked in crimson and "spanky and classy" in every de- tail. The turnout was pretty and mer- ited the many compliments received.
 The Moore Fuel and Feed company was followed by the colored band that dispensed music always acceptable for a lively two-step and the kind in which the slide trombone does the heavy work.
 Near the end Of the long parade was the Lowell float, bedecked in the national colors and attractive with pretty girls and the rustic couple Just from Old Missouri" representing the Peoples Cash store.
