visit of the "veiled prophet" remains
after 81 years.

and citizens grew rich and powerful
with a trade extending to the Pacific
Coast, are gone. but still each Fall a
mysterious group of social and civic
leaders, known only as the Order OF
the Knights" directs a repetition of
the festival begun in 1878 to encourage
forgetfulness of the ravages of the
Civil War and a scourge of yellow
fever.
IN 1878 churning steamboat arrived
at the Mississippi water front to
discharge a bowling, long-robed and
heavily veiled prophet" over the
gangplank. Bells rang, whistles blew,
and children shrieked with delight.
Dancing and merry-making were the
order Of the day.
Annually. since that visit, the
prophet has paid a return call to the
city of his adoption. Long ago the
celebration moved westward from the
somnolent Mississippi and the frown-
ing red brick buildings that line its
steep bank as monuments to q later
industrial era.
On the night of October 8. the
prophet will make his 1885 appear
ance. to inaugurate a two-day pro-
gram of merriment and formally open
the Fall social season.
As in recent years he will appear
on one of 20 brilliantly lighted and
lavishly decorated floats that will be
drawn through downtown streets by
prancing horses.
THIS year the floats will follow a
''toyland" theme Dolls, teddy
bears. mechanical toys. sleds, drums
and horns will compete with wooden
soldiers, snowmen, hobby horses and
Punch and Judy for the plaudits Of
