THREE PARADES AT CON
 FEDERATE REUNION
One Has Been Arranged for Each Day First Will be Maid and Sponsors and Will be Given on the Af-
 ternOOn of May 9th.


 est in the 24th annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans Associa- tion and Sons of Confederate Veterans centers around the three parades. one each day of the reunion. It has been definitely decided that the first pa rade will be that of the maids and sponsors, and it will be given on the afternoon of May 9th.
 This parade will be confined to au- tomobiles and carriages, and all spon- sors and maids of honor will be ad- mitted to it. The Jacksonville Reun- ion Association has decided that, if possible, the parade of maids and sponsors will be the finest spectacle of the kind ever seen in the southern states. The route will be several miles long and passes through the principal residence and business sec tions of the city.
 The parade of the second day, May z, will be of the Sons of Confederate Veterans and local military organiza- tions. It is the present plan for the Sons to march on foot, and the pa rade will take in the business sections of the city.
 On the morning of May 8, the last day of the reunion, the annual parade of the Confederate Veterans will be held. Jacksonville labors under dis advantage in staging this parade that no other reunion city has ever en- countered, that of securing horses. There are very few available horses in Jacksonville, and as a result it has been decided to make the parade a combination between horses, automo- piles and footmarching The local as sociation believes that it will be pos sible for the commanders and their staff officers to provided with mounts, but it is going to be difficult matter to secure a sufficient number even at that. However, united effort is be- ing made to secure all the mounts pos sibe in Jacksonville and nearby towns in Florida and South Georgia.
 Arrangements for these parades are being worked out rapidly by special committees Maj. s. C. Harrison is chairman of the committee that will have charge of the Sons of Veterans parade. He is being assisted by the local camp of Sons of Veterans, of which Judge John w. Dodge is com mander. Adjt Ben. N. B. Forrest, of the national Sons of Veterans is here giving much of his attention to these arrangements.
 Dr. w. M. Stinson is chairman of the committee on entertainment of maids and sponsors and has been working on plans for some time with corps of assistants. He will organ ize the entire program of the maids and sponsors entertainment features and promises to give the visiting la dies the best possible reception in Jacksonville.
 Gen. John l.. lnglis, commander of the Florida division U. C. ", is, under the rules of the United Confederate Veterans Association, chief marshal of the veterans parade, with Gen. w. H. Sebring, chief aide. Gen. Inglis wants a parade in which the older vet erans will occupy automobiles and car riages, with commanders and as many of their staffs as possible on horse back The Veterans parade is being worked out along these lines.
 The social functions of the reunion will be about the same as have pre- vailed at other reunion cities. Three balls will be given during the week, one for the maids and sponsors, one for the Sons of Veterans and the other for the Veterans themselves. Gen Bennett Il. Young appointed as his chief sponser, Miss Corrinne Hampton. of Columbia, s. C. His maids of honor are Misses Minnie Brock of Chattanooga, Eloise Wash burn, of Montgomery, Ala, and Miss Gladys Herman, of New Orleans. These ladies represent the south in the social functions of the reunion.
 A dancing pavilion will be erected close to the business sections of the city, and it vii be large enough to ac- commodate the reunion balls. In ad- dition to the balls there will be num- Der of events on the program for the entertainment of official ladies. Chief
