OF "IME SWING BACK CARNIVAL ATTENDANCE. As if the hands of time had swung | ponderously backward twenty-one years, had taken a new start and tra- versed that period of duration in n“ single hour, the high points in the whole history of the Realm of } Quivera were re-enacted on the| streets of Omaha Tuesday afternoon, when all the former kings and queens | of Ak-Sar-Ben passed {n magnificent review in an automobile floral parade | that was imposing and dazzling. For weeks the automobiles have been in the process of being decorated with natural and artificlal flowers. Blossoms of all grades of loveliness were showered | over the autos until every appearance of a mechanical vehicle was smothered | in gorgeous colors, and when the floats | moved down the streets with thelr regal . urdens they seemed not to be on wheels, | but rather like perfumed barges to float | gently on the endless ripples of Quivera's | sunshine, For everal years the floral parade has | been a feature of the Ak-Sar-Ben fes- tivities For several successive years this feature has grown more grand. | Near'y eixty flowered floats bloomed | into line when the fourteen bands began to play at 2 o'clock at Sixteenth and Cuming’ streets. Beginning with King Casper Yost and Miss Helen Scoble In a handsome float encased in white flowers, trimmed in red, with a bower literally covered with red roses, led the parade. The kings and queens followed in the parade in the order of their reigm, down to the ‘reigning king and queen, Charies D. Beaton and Miss Frances Hochstetler, who occupied the last of the line of regal floats, a float trimmed entirely In gold, with a canopy of gold built over the throne, and a large golden crown set with rich gems resting on the pinnacle of the canopy. G. W. Wattles and his queen, Mary Lee McShane Hosford, rode a beautiful float of wild roses and ferns. The former king Fred A.
