This fleld was ftting place for such a meeting and the float well showed how Wolsey sought to play upon the cupid- ity of Francis, while seeking to charm the war-llke mind of Charles with deeds of chivalry and valor. Richard Couer de Lion. Next came Richard Cocur de Lion and Saladin, The scene was well laid in a Turk- ish castle and the designs to the smallest detall were true In form and color to na ture. The scene was taken from the Talis- man, where the warrior of the islands meets for the first time to his koowledge the brilliant soldier of the east, who defeated the combined armies of Christendom. The warlike spirit of the west and the same spirit of the east are personified n this | meeting angd each is resolved to show the other his greatest power. With heavy stroke the English king has severed an iron bar and then is challenged by the Saracen to test the temper of his weapon upon a pillow of dawn. The frankish king recolls from the test, 0 with his scimitar of leaden hue the Turkish sultan cleaves the unre sisting cloth. The English soldiers declyre the act to be witcheraft, while the Turks are amazed at the strength of the west- ern knight. Pepin the Short. ‘Then came the famous son of Charles Martel, Pepin the short, who was the prac- tical founder of the temporal power of the popes, wringing {rom the Lombards lacd arcund the eternal city which he gave in potuity to Pope Stephen and bis suc- sors. But it was not with these mighty deeds the story dwelt lust night, but with the way in which Pepin demonstrated the ability of a small man to do decds of dar- ing.

Frederick Barbarosa. “How say you? We have slept, my lords, My heart has grown into my lap. The barons swore with many words “Twas but an after-dinner nap.’ For in the next float slept the great red King of Germany—Frederick Barbarosa—as he sloeps In German folklore, beneath the hills in a cavern near Salzbu where, upon one occaslon, ho was seen by a peasant. The monarch, half awzlke, asks the time of year and when told resumed his sleep, saying that he was not needed yet. Tho float was well designed to bring out the points in the legend, for above the head of the Teu- tonlc crusader arose the castlos along the | Rhine, while guarding his resting place wera two gnomes of the mountains and (wo vallant men-at-arme, who preserved the silence of the d Chovaller Bayard.

From the hlll of mrmny the next float carrled the ‘spectators across the Rhine to sunny France, where the greatest of con- tinental Xuights was shown—tho Chevaller Bayard—the man who saved tho country of France to Its king and who.was pictured In every land and under every clime as the model of chivalraus conduct.. The scene on the float was.that taken frem the close of the battle of Marignano, where Francis I, present at’the fi¢ld of ‘the Cloth of.

All these things were poftrayed In the float la night and the rocks and stream in their reallsm were the cause for much comment.

Despite the unfavorable wemther the crowds which witnessed the parade last night were the largest since the days of thd! exposition. Reports received from the various lines of railroads are to the effect that many more people were brought to Omaha within the last three days than dur- the corresponding period of last year or of 1569, Along the entire line of the parad the sldewalks presented solid banks of hu manity. By far the greater number had neglected to bring their umbrellas, but as it was jmpossibble to move freely on the crowded walks they were compelled to stand in the rain unprotected. SOLDIERS WIT!

Immediately after mess the soldiors came to town. The street cars were packed and overflowing. They arrived In the center of the city long before the parade formed and spent the hours before that (ime marching over the streets and taking n the scenes on the Midway of the Carplval grounds, . Soldiers were everywhere and blue uniforms were more in evidence in the | city than they have been at any tihme since the treops went into camp. It was a wet crowd which straggled back to the fort between the hours of 11 and 12, for not a man In that whole array had taken a poncho. CARNIVAL TAKES A DAY OFF Gutes Are Closed Today on Account of the MceKinley Obaequies at Canton, The carnival grounds will be closed today until 7 o'clock in the evening. The’ colsing of the gates and the suspen- slon of business Is in harmony with the roclmnmn of Presiden: Rocsevelt, setting Thursday as a day of mourning for lha death of the late President McKinlev. Wednesday was the banner day at the carnival grounds, despite the parades which were cxpecied to have a bad effect upon the gate receipts. The crowds came to see the daylight parade and when that was over they thronged the grounds until evening. At times within the enclosure it aeemed’ that ‘it would not be possible to fiove, the jam o great. Every’booth and attraetion w well patronized.

Confettl was much in evidence on the grounds:and every davice known to man to break down the barriers of self-contained dignity were manifest in the hands of the merry-makers. It was a jolly and peace- able crowd. This phase has been remarked at all times during the carnival, the peacs officers saying that so far they have had less trouble with the crowds than ever be- fore. The opening of the carnical grounds to- night will be the beginning of the end and from present appearances the end will be it brilllant any of the series of is traveling men's day.
