Little Rock, Ark, June 5.-In all

without struggle, the fight being put
up by the Eagles from the Border City
upon their arrival Monday morning,
having scared off the other towns
which intended to put in an invitation
to the association. The parade OF
the Eagles Monday afternoon was
very elaborate affair. Pine Bluff and
Fort Smith had the largest represent
tation outside of Argenta and Little
Rock. The Pine Bluff representa-
then Was the best dressed in the par
ade, and the red, white and blue UNI
brellas made the color scheme an
elaborate one. Fort Smith had a
noisy bunch, calling out the glories
of the Border City, as well as inform
ing the people On the streets that the
1912 convention was going to their
town.
The Pine Bluff Eagles arrived over
the Cotton Belt at 9:35 o'clock, MAX
ing the fastest run of any special OPP
Grated over that line since the build
ing of the new Cotton Belt depot in
Argenta. The train attracted much
attention and the Pine Bluffians were
met on the Argenta side by the Little
Rock and Argenta Eagles, accompani-
ed by a band. The parade over the
free bridge was spectacular. The
Pine Bluffians were highly compli-
mented for the fine showing made IN
the afternoon procession as we'll.
Mayor G. E. Taylor and Rev. w. D.
Buckner delivered the welcome ad-
dresses at II o'clock at the Little
Rock Aerie hall, which was happily
responded to by Major w. J. Parkes'
of Pine Bluff. The parade at 4
o'clock was witnessed by ten thous-
and spectators along the line OF
march. The ladies on horseback, the
decorated vehicles and the aides ana
their assistants, together with the dec
GRATED automobiles and tally-hos
made the procession one of the pref
test seen in this city In months. A
boat ride tonight closed the days fes-
t1vities.
