A feature entirely new at the Valley
fair was work-horse parade which
took place yesterday 1t was arranged
under the direction of Kenneth Il. Mo-
sher, proprietor of the Flat street liv-
cry, and about 12O horses participated in
1t, single, double, triple, four-in- hand and
sextupe bitches. The parade certainly
was a credit to the fair and was ap-
plauded enthusiastically. Practically al
the floats and carts were decorated and
in many instances the character of the
team showed to what firm or business
house 1t belonged. The decorations were
not as elaborate as those of the auto
mobile parade of Wednesday, but the
handsome and well-groomed horses and
individual creations received as much
applause as the automobiles received on
the previous day. The parade started
from the common promptly at 10 o'clock
and went to the grounds by way of Ca
nal street, circling the track two or
three times. 1t was about three-fourths
of a mile in length Following is list
