 Fully 5000 people yesterday aft ernoon witnessed beautiful parade which inaugurated the second annual carnival of the Conway School and Civic Club. The parade was more than a mile in length and in it were about 1000 students of Conway schools and colleges, besides number of organizations and many attractive ly decorated automobiles, floats, etc.
 The big parade was preceded by a doll parade, given under the direction of Mrs. D. L. Young, in which about 50 pretty little girls marched with their dolls and doll buggies.
 Following the doll parade, Mayor J. Frank Jones and some of the city officials led the grand parade, which began promptly at 4:30 o'clock. In the line were officers of the School and Civic Club, students of Hendrix College, with band and float, Central College float and student body, State Normal band, float and student body, public school float and student body, the queens float, bearing Miss Doro- thy Pyle, queen of the carnival, and her attendants, Boy Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, uniform rank, Woodmen of the World, clown band and float, besides more numerous and handsome merchants advertising floats. The route of the parade was from the rail- road station north to East Oak street, east on East Oak street to Chestnut, north to Spencer, north on Spencer to Wright, west on Wright to North Front and south to point of begin ming. The marshals were Prof. M. J. Russell, Dr. w S. Hammer, V. G.. Craig and A. L. Barber.
 Judges from among out-of-town visitors were selected and the awards were announced as follows:
 Doll Parade-Mary Lillian Ander- son, first; Beatrice Robins, second.
 Decorated Automobile-J. Hf Lin- coin, first; c. E. Durham, second.
 School Float-State Normal, first j; Central College, second.
 Trade Float-Erbacher & Co.,, first; :; Frauenthal & Schwarz, second.
 Comical Float-"Corn Cob Club" typical student mounted upon fiery steed, brought up the rear.
 Beautiful and appropriate floats al- so represented Hendrix and Central colleges, and the public school and trade floats were by far the most at tractive ever gotten up here. The clown band would have won place in any circus, and the two well known airs which it played one after the other could easily be recognized and were heard until late hour at night.
 Following the parade the carnival booths were opened and the streets were thronged with merry-makers un- til about l l o'clock. A good business was done at each stand, the net profits of the evening being about 800. This will go into a fund being raised by the club for the purpose of beautify- ing the public square.
 Mrs. Joseph Frauenthal, president of the School and Civic Club, desires to express the clubs sincere thanks for the cooperation and participation of the citizens in this event. The car nival and parade, she said, seemed to meet real need of the people, and besides the financial benefit, it fur first; Pug" Clark and his "Nor- mule," second.
 Special mention should be made of the State Normal float, which won first prize. It was handsomely deco rated in royal purple and white and symbolized the inauguration of the State Normal School in Conway in 1908. Miss Elsie Adkisson of Con- way, attended by four hand maidens, represented Arkansas and received from the Nine Muses of Education the shield of the school, upon which was stamped the golden seal of the state. Misses Ella Goza and Iza Fitz- hugh, carrying the long palm leaves and the laurel crowns, typified "vic- tory" for the school. Developing the mythological idea, all of the young women excepting Miss Adkisson were attired in the soft, flowing Greek draperies. Two small boys preceding the float and carrying long golden horns acted as trumpeters, and five young men on gray horses were out riders. The Normal band, playing the stirring air of the Alma Mater, led the school parade to the public square. This was followed by the Home Builders" of the training school and the long line of enthusi- astic students. The presidents car, handsomely decorated in the school colors, was next in line and was fol- lowed by the float. Hugh Clark, a nished a most pleasant social diver
