"ShOOters" Are Hit
of Elks' Pageant
Continued from PAee Ono

ran Legion Elks in overseas suits of
tbe lodges hues.
Next to the Philadelphia contingent
the Elks of Atlantic City appeared TO
make the best showing. They gave a
dash of autumn in their display and
showed originality. They were led by
4 mounted guard Of fifty attired in
hunting costumes Of gray tweed, boots
and gray caps.
A contrast was furnished by officers
Of the lodge in white flannel walking
sieht abreast. A float in the shape Of
4 biz sea SHE'LL which was pulled by
miniature tractor, concluded the lodges
showing.
A pretty little girl, Nellie Dean. was
the "spirt' within the shell and she
received salvos of applause.
Camden Springs Surprise
A big surprise was also sprung by
Camden in the way Of unique dressing.
They were 400 strong and wore United
States Army uniforms of white topped
an with white trench hats. Sam Browne
belts of white added to the picture.
They were in command OF Major
George Selby. incidentally, Camden
They are Howard Austermchl. 396
mounds and six feet two inches tall. and
Paul Horopo. fifty pounds and forty.
four inches in height.
A warlke touch was given the parade
BY the patrols Of Milwaukee, San An
tonic, Rochester. Salt Lake City and
half dozen other places. Their attire
ran TO the zouave scheme with purple
and white trimmings.
Industry was not forgotten as was
shown by floats representing the en-
terprises of the States represented. In
this connection Oklahoma provided
the biggest novelty with an oil well
working full blast.
The Hello Bills" from California,
although conservative in attire, received
warm reception. Memories OF the
good time furnished the Elks last year
IN Los Angeles were still fresh in the
minds Of the Eastern members, and the
Pacific Coast men had reason to feel
sratlfed. They had two hundred men
IN line. They were nattily dressed in
blue serge coats, white trousers and
straw hats, encircled with purple
bands.
Throughout the line Of march, half
dozen glee clubs cut loose in the latest
harmonies. Some, by way Of contrast,
wondered the songs which reminded of
the long ago when there was no such
word as Nolstead.
Scranton Singers Score
II applause Is any criterion, the
singers from Scranton were the stars
70 this line. They sang with volume.
When there was Il long pause near the
reviewing stand, one singer launched
into q solo.
The Milwaukee Glee Club, winners
OF several prizes, were close seconds,
heavily.
=, For few moments it looked as
nongh this city might be the Nation 8
capital. This impression was given by
me presence of nearly fifty members
OF Congress, who rode in automobiles
after Grand Esquire Harry Bacharach,
VINO led the procession.
Despite the fact that many of them
voted for bills not especially popular in
Atlantic City, the past was forgiven
ana they were Justify cheercd. With
Ms Washington delegation was Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt.
Ihe delegation from the capital left
