MAY POLE DANCES VERY 5000

This year hve different crowds gave
May Pole dances on the different ev-
enings of the festival at Carnival hall.
This portion of the entertainment was
under the direction OF James C. Pea
body and that his work. supervision
and training was done thoroughly was
plainly shown. The young ladies' in
their pretty costumes and the young
men in their white trousers and blue
coats looked fine. Owing to the fact
that there were so many different di-
visions doing the dancing this year
the length was shortened conslderab-
iy. This. OF course. detracted some
what from the effect but still the May
Pole figures were OF an unusually
high order.

CANON STEAM LAUH-
DRY FLOAT UNIQUE

The float representing the Canon
Steam laundry designed and arranged
by Mr. r. l. Sears. owner of the laun-
dry. was considered by many the most
unique in the whole parade outside
of Dave superstine's. which was of an
entirely different nature. Mr.. Sears
should be given great credit for a
clever idea well carried out.
He had large wagon drRped in
white with two wash tubs upon il
painted white. Upon these tubs was
painted in black: Put your duds in
our suds." The cutcst idea OF the af-
fair was three little coons dressed in
long white stiff-bosom shirts wearing
white collars and erd neckties. The
tubs were filled with cotton Bat and
the coons pretended they were wash
ing. 1t was very suggestive and made
"a big hit with everyone.

STREETS IN
FESTIVE
ATTIRE

ALI day Thursday nearly everyone
in the business houses on Main stree It
were busy carrying out W. W. Wall
1ace's scheme of decorating on Main
street This scheme consists of a SER
les Of flags placed at intervals along
the street in two rows just outside
tn, curbing. These are hung on ropes
stretched across the street about ten
feet apart This system of decorating
Is employed from First street near
the penltentiary to Ninth street.
Strings of lights have been swung
acrsss the street. one string in each
block from the west end of Main
street to the other side of Carnival
hall. These lights were on last night
ard presented a delightful sight 10
the eye. Standing in the middle cf
the street and gazing down between
the two rows OF flags with the colored
lights strung at right angles one can
not imagine a prettier scene.
This scene will be augmented
greatly this evening when the illum-
mated autos travel back and forth
along the boulevard. The parade this
evening is expected to eclipse the one
last year by far and the general opin-
ion the season before was that the
auto parade couldn't be beat"
Never before has such enthusiasm
been shown by the citizens of Canon
City. This is evidenced in the deco
rations put forth. Canon has never
been known to be anything more than
a country town when it came to dec
Grating but that old accusation must
now go hide One look at the streets,
the business houses or the residential
districts will prove beyond a doubt
that Canon is not 'Countryfied" now,
but rather. citified and awake to the
Importance and the obligations of the
occasion

times they completed double plays
that were only possible by quick
thinking and veteran action. They
were terrific hitters and the score
shows 1t. Many of their huns were
not earned. however. and came to
them through bad errors made by Can
on.
Credit should be given to the All
Stars up until the hfth inning. for
they played splendid ball and should
not feel discouraged because they lost
SO Overwhelmingly. They showed the
ear-marks OF a good team and all that
is necessary now is n great deal Of
practice.

they should be proud OF. Three OF the
prettiest girls in the store rode In 1t
and added much to the effect. The
Furniture company
had an arbor float in which they
displayed some OF their finest furni-
ture. A beayy of beautiful ladies in
white gave animitation to the scene.
Mr.. Wenzel rode on the Frye and Col
Inns float and had smile on his face
all the time Well he might, for his
work in making a pretty float WAS ap-
preciated by the crowd. C. T. Wood
and son made a coach and six out of
their big van II was a very good imi-
tation. Higgins brothers at a dist
ance seemed TO have a circus wagon
but it turned out to be a large top
wagon with large rugs on the outside
and quilts in the interior B. F. Rock
afellow had his fruit wagon nicely ar
ranged with real snow balls. serving
as ornaments. The strathmore hotel
had their bus looking better than it
ever had before and had it splendidiy
decorated. Scott" the well known
porter. was driving and Teddy, the
dog. served as an ornament on top.
The Canon Steam laundry was repre-
scented with very clever feat Three
little coons were placed on wagon
bed OF white with two wash tubs be-
fore them. upon which was printed
in black, Put your Duds in Our
suds" The little coons we're dressed
in white shirts and red ties which
gave a great contrast j. W. McKin-
ley had a large float filled with ladies'
on which was inscribed his slogan
walk Block and Save a Dollar"
The Reeves livery displayed fine
team OF horses and a well designed
wagon. Ben Rea advertised BATAVIA
butter in an appropriate manner. The
New Method laundry had n float that
attracted attention. The Fair Mer-
camille company had a large black
bird on their Boat on which was in
cribed the words: Let US Figure
Upon Your Bill" The boy scouts who
were also in the morning parade pre-
ceded two finely decorated buggies
which represented the Ceyion Tea
store and the Ladies' Toggery Shop.
These were the last but by no means
the leas, significant Of the best and
grandest forai pageant Canon City
has ever gotten together. II was a
splendid example OF the enterprise
and ability that there was among the
merchants and citizens of Canon City.
II displayed a cooperation that is

awful good but rather sticky that
is, they wanted to stick around out
of sight.
Homer Hutchinson was in his glory
having in charge the clever Baker &
Biggs float.
Frey & Collins made a splendid
advertisement of their float as well as
offering to the slght-seers an artistic
creation. Mr.. wenzel had full
charge.
One familiar with Canon City would
not have thought she could do what
was accomplished Saturday. 1t is
wonderful what people can do when
they once get started and when they
have someone to stir them up.
The South Canon overall boys and
the little milk maids caused ripples
of laughter all along the line of the
procession. It was clever idea and
made big hit
When little Mary Margaret Harding
came along in the japanese rickshaw
during the children's parade a lady
on the sidewalk exclaimed: "oh.
look at that pretty outfit; not the
baby. but the cart" Little Mary.
seemingly aware that she was one of
the cute features of the parade. didn't
appear to mind the remark at all for
she smiled directly at the lady.
Rockvale and all the coal camps
and Florence had large contingents
representing them in the city on both
Friday and Saturday.
Mrs. Goodies wreath girls and the
boy scouts entertained the crowds
very nicely before the beginning of
the children's parade.
The prairie schooner in the after
noon parade certainly reminded some
of the old pioneers OF some narrowing
experiences in the early days.
Little Jane Peabody had a strenu-
Gus day OF it. In the morning she
was the only occupant of the crysan-
themum float and in the afternoon
she completely filled the big shoe
which Mr.. W. E. Galley carried on
the front OF his spelndidiy decorated
auto.
Saturday evening the kids got
great deal of cheap fun at the rink
getting their confetti second hand by
seraping it OF OF the floor. They threw
just like the big folks and never even
noticed that half OF it was dirt
Gretchen Harding and Lulu Lines
had terrible time making sunhowers
out of the little colored folks but
their hard efforts brought them sue
cess.
Mrs. Boucher heaved big sigh Of
relief and conteutment after it was
all over Well she might. for it was
all a big success.
A lady said: Il thought the men
in the dances were very good; they
were SO awkward-just like men. you
know"
1t is safe to estimate that the con-
fetti is in at least three-fifths of the
homes in Canon City today. 1t is
such pleasant stuff to have on the
floor
Many remarked that Carnival hall
was the prettiest 1t had ever been.
Rev. Blake said: This confetti is
such beastly stuff to get out OF my
hair (?)." Note-He hasn't any.
