the parade, that the jollification spec
tacle will be at least one mile and a
half long A double line of march will
be established on Kansas avenue in
order to accommodate the moving pic
ture of the 5000 Karnival Knights who
have revived the spirit of the old Krew
of long ago.
The parade will form at Topeka and
West Tenth avenues 1t will be ready
for view beginning at this point
Down Tenth avenue to Kansas ave-
nue., thence down the east side of Kan
sas avenue will flow north as far as
Fourth street, then countermarch back
the west side of Kansas avenue to
Tenth avenue, where it will disband.
Stands 300 feet long containing II
rows of seats and accommodating 1000
persons will be built on the north side
of Tenth avenue between Jackson
street and Kansas avenue. The Kar-
nival knights will erect this stand and
25 cents admission will be charged.
The parade forming at Tenth and To-
peka avenues and going east to Kan
sas avenue down Tenth avenue means
that it may be witnessed from thu
state house grounds.

tendance.
