Phone Girls in Line.
The Wilmington Steamboat Com
pany made a creditable showing. One
OF the busiest floats in line was That
OF the Wilmington and Philadelphia
Traction Company, showing three
girls engaged receiving calls and
talking over the wire. The animated
conversations they appeared to be
having with supposed persons on the
other end OF the wire gave the i'm
preston that the phones really were
connected.
Probably the most handsome float
in line was that OF the Bayarian
Brewing Company, It showed a scene
in Germany with two men and two
women In German dress seated
around table quaffing beer from
stone mugs and stems.
Another pretty float was that OF the

ored boy logged out as baby. Above
him read Watch Us Grow" The
smile OF the "baby's" face was OF the
kind that won't come off,"

pies OF all the goods il manufactures
while the Wilmington Gas Company

The line OF parade was crowde
with people thousands lining the cur
all over the route. That the proces
sion was one OF the best witnessed i
Wilmington in a long time was tn
general opinion today. Much OF tn
affair is due to Col. Slower. the gran
marshal, and j. Frank White, tn
chairman of the parade committee {
Council. who have been untiring !
. their efforts to make this parade
success,
