The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1910-02-09

Greeted with applause, admired by
thousands, bringing ordinations OF
admiration and applause from every
one, the most beautiful mystic pa
geant ever Witnessed in Pensacola
passed in review last night, King
Priscus seated upon his throne being
at the head and acknowledging the
warm welcome extended him by his
loyal subjects.
The streets along the route of pa
rade were mass of struggling hui
manity, extending from the carnival
sheds to PalafoS wharf, and, in fact,
az every vantage point from which q
glimpse of the parade could be caught.
Along Palafox street the greatest
crowds gathered, and as each of the
floats burst into view, representing
some nation, cheer upon cheer greet
ed it, for each showed the work OF
an artist, and were dreams of beauty
! Preceded by a band, the parade
passed from Garden street, thence
south to Pine, where it turned into
jefferson and the start back was
made, going as far north as Jackson
and west to Barcelona, thence south
over another route to Garden street,
thus making a longer parade than Is
usually the case. And it was fortunate
that the carnival association selected
a lengthier route, for it would have
been impossible for the crowds to
have been accommodated in the area
heretofore covered by the parade.
GREETED BY QUEEN.
On the balcony of the San Carlos
lhotel stood the beautiful queen, Miss
Nellie Keyser, surrounled by her
maids, and attendants, and it was
from this point that She greeted His
Majesty as he passed. At this corner,
If anything, the crowds were largest,
covering the entire parkway from
Garden street north to Wright, and
many of them noticed the greetings
exchanged and gave vent to cheers.
Four bands were in the line of pa
rade, four floats separating each
musical organization, and rendering
excellent music during the evening.
The fourteen floats represented the
following:
I-PRIscUs XII.
The first float was the kings.
A handsome throne rises from the
waist of a boat, the stern of which
sweeps upward in a complicated
curve, supporting huge crown,
which sparkles with jewels. Leaves
from gigantic plants decorate the
bulwarks of the boat and form beau
tiful embankment of foliage around
the royal seat. Four noblemen, gor-
geously attired, occupy the bow of the
boat.
