II Is somewhat of problem to the
up-to-date fair manager to figure his
greatest amusement feature. but the
fact .oGiains that trotting and pacing
races are more attractive to the great
est number of his patrons than any
other feature. Not only do the races
furnish amusement, but the winners
indicate the kind of blood to use In

the light harness line. The trotter
has been developed to his present
high state of perfection, by means
of contest, and he will reach still
higher state as the races continue.
After the farmer has watched the
winners on the track he will readily
note the winners in the show ring car
ry the same blood. Then. he can
draw the comparisons between the
winners and his own stock at home,
and can make plans for mating his
mares with the right stations to pro-
duce winners of his own. The con-
clusion is, therefore, that the races
at the fair not only pleases ninety
per cent of the patrons, but furnishes
an object lesson Of much value TO the
thinking farmer.

The Rova1 Gorge Road
AS An Investment

Three or four years ago when The
Record was urging the early building
of the Royal Gorge road the statement
was often made that the advertising
Canon City and the county would get
by the opening of this road would in
itself be worth all the road would
cost the county.
That was considered at the time a
nervy statement by most people in
Canon City.
But the last few days has proven
that we were right about the mat
ter
The road cost the county approx
mately $4,000.
The publicity that the city, the
county and the Royal Gorge is get
ting this month could not be purchas-
ed at space rates for several times
that amount of money.
And its the very best of publicity,
too. The Denver. Colorado Springs
and Pueblo papers have given us

The Flower Carnival

As a money-maker the Flower Car
nival was not a great success.
1t fell short of what was expected
in profits and in pulling people to
Canon City. Now that it is passed
it can be seen where 1t failed in these
respects and these can be remedied
another year.
The league should easily be en-
titled TO $1,000 profit on such an un-
dertaking and an event of such mag
nificent proportions and wonderful
beauty should pull thousands of peo-
pie from the state to our town.
But as thing of beauty 1t was the
greatest possible success.
Many were here who have seen all
the great festivals OF this broad land
and without exception all agreed that
the morning procession-the child
ren's parade--was the most charming.
unique and beautiful ever witnessed
anywhere.
This feature Of the Flower Carnival
SO far as we know has no equal any
where. Its beauty cannot be de-
scribsd.
Cañon City record., 1911-05-18

pages of cuts and descriptions. The
other papers of the state and of Kan
sas along the Santa Fe trail have Civ
en- liberal mentions. Many of the big
papers of the country have given
strong illustrated stories and many
of the biggest magazines will give the
event permanent notice.
This Royal Gorge road and the
opening are really quite the biggest
things that this community ever pull
ed of and their effect for good will
be felt as long as the walls of the
gorge stand.
Canon City is tied to the Royal
Gorge, the very best advertised piece
of American scenery and will profit
by it immensely.
"on to the Royal Gorge-see it
From the Top" is slogan that will
move many a tourist and sight-seer
this way
As an investment the county never
made a better one than that $4,000
put in that Royal Gorge road.
Cañon City record., 1911-05-18

The enthusiasm of the people here
from the big cities had no bounds
and we who live here and knew more
or less what was to come looked on
In surprise and wonder at It's re-
markable success.
The Flower Carnival must be made
a yearly event with the children's end
emphasized as much as possible.
This sort of thing is possible only
in small city. Denver. for in
stance, could not initiate it for the
little ones could not stand the strian
to march as far as would be neces-
sary In city OF that size. II is nee
essarily a production for a small city
"a small blossom city and Canon
City is that place.
The children's Flower Carnival
should be made distinctly Canon
institution and 1t can be made bigger
and bigger as the years 20 by.
The business side can be developed
with little more attention to the
promotion end and It can be made i
big paying event for the league and
for the town.

Mrs. Curtis and Mrs. Charles Sell

its was sort of materialized poem,
the memory of which will long be
retained by those fortunate enough
to have seen it number of visit
ors in town told the writer that the
parades today were the finest ever
staged in Colorado and Warden Ty-
nan suggested to the ladies OF the
Canon City Civic Improvement league
that special train ought to be char
tered and the participants taken TO
Denver, bag and baggage, and the en-
tire pageant reproduced at the Noun
tain and Plain festival in that city
next fall. There may have been larg-
er parades of the character than
those Of today in Portland. Oregon,
and other cities on the Pacific coast
and in the southern and eastern
states, but none were prettier. or more
elaborate. So popular and successful
has the Canon City May Flower par
ade and carnival become that it should
be made an annual affair.
The parade started a few minutes
after 1890 o'clock from End and Main
streets and continued to Ninth street
where it turned and marched to the
starting point, thus doubling Main
street and giving everyone splendid
view of every feature of the pageant.
Roderick Mckenzie headed the par
ade as grand marshall. Before the
parade started and while 1t was form
ing, the boy scouts under Robert +.
Dove, scout master. gave an exhibit
ton drill which was followed by First
Aid Demonstration. which though
brief was instructive.
The wreath girls. under Mrs. Hart
Goodloe. splendidly costumed andstil
trained. gave their wreath dance at
the squares on Third. Fourth and
Fifth and Main streets. After the
conclusion of this feature the Rock
vale band. which had played for the
wreath dancers. marched back and
the beautiful pageant was ushered iu.
A grander sight sight cannot well be
conjured up.
