PARADE OF PYTHIA
SATURDAY'S CROWDS BREAK ALL COUNTY RECORDS
Twenty Thousand Spectators View Parade, Filling Thoroughfares for Miles
After a season of happy Carnival revelry Anaheim this week takes up again the even tenor of its way. Flags and bunting have been taken down, and stored away, streets again resume their normal appearance, and nothing is left of the Carnival but happy memories. Five days of festival was an ambitious mark to set, but right royally did the men in charge of affairs accomplish their task.

Flags and bunting have been taken down, and stored away, streets again resume their normal appearance, and nothing is left of the Carnival but happy memories. Five days of festival was an ambitious mark to set, but right royally did the men in charge of affairs accomplish their task. To the Knights of Pythias, and the members of the many committees thanks of the populace is due. Rain interfered with Friday's parade, which was called of because of an unexpected downpour the preceding night, continuing until noon. However Saturday's demonstration made up for it—20,000 people being in attendance, breaking all records for numbers gathered together in the county.
There was something of interest doing every minute of the time from the entrance of Queen Monica at 9:30 o'clock Wednesday morning until the close. Every feature planned by General Manager Hamler and his assistants was carried to a successful issue, and thousands of interested visitors thronged the streets during the five days of fun and frolic.
The pageants on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday were the most beautiful ever seen in Anaheim. Scenes of gorgeous and tastefully decorated floats, autos and vehicles were in line besides hundreds of horsemen with gay trappings.
There was entertainment for everybody at some portion of the town. There were industrial displays, agricultural and horticultural displays live stock and poultry exhibits, besides amusements to suit the taste of anyone, no matter what his inclinations might be. On the Midway, under the management of the California Carnival Co. were twenty varieties of amusement under canvas, and the bewildered visitor could take his choice or lay down his dollar and sail two thousand feet into the air in the balloon.
Two huge tents on the grounds were devoted to the industrial display and fifty of the leading business firms of Anaheim and Orange county held stalls in them. Everything, almost, that men buy or sell was on exhibition here. Another large tent was devoted to horses, and many of the beautiful horses belonging to this region were on exhibition. Still another tent was given up to poultry and one hundred pens of the finest strains in Orange county were on display.
There was something of interest to see at every turning. Dancing paylil-

There was something of interest to see at every turning. Dancing paylons and merry-go-rounds were open to those who cared for such sport. A magnificent display of fireworks wound up Saturday's proceedings, and confetti was very much in evidence during the evening.

MANY BEAUTIFUL DESIGNS IN THURSDAY'S INDUSTRIAL DISPLAY
City Meat Market comes in a Close Second, and Other Firms Receive "Honorable Mention"—Many Beautiful and Costly Designs in the long Procession—A Splendid Array of Horse Flesh Among Attractions
Elaborate, beautiful and varied in design were the floats which took part in the Industrial parade Thursday morning. The procession formed on East Center street and headed by the Fullerton band, began the march at about 10 o'clock.
First in the procession following the band came the Queen in her gilded chariot, attended by two gally dressed pages, with her maids of honor in an automobile next. Then came an auto from Placentia containing half a dozen beautiful young ladies. A string of lead horses, competing for prizes, followed, and the next was a company of gorgeously attired vaqueroes. A splendid one-horse rig from the North End Livery, of Fullerton, was next in line, and then came the floats, headed by the Anaheim band, in the following order:

All the floats were beautiful, and the judges, who met at Odd Fellows Hall immediately after the parade, found it difficult to make a decision. The judges were J. R. Carhart of Fullerton, W. W. Wasser of Santa Ana, F. M. Smith of Orangethorpe, P. M. Koenig of Los Angeles, and J. B. Rea of Anaheim. After due deliberation the committee awarded the first prize, $100 in cash, to Stern & Goodman Mercantile Co. of Fullerton and the second, a $75 silver cup, to the City Meat Market.
enclosed, and here could be seen freaks, games, entertainments and industrial exhibits and the person who could not find something of interest in the heterogeneous display was indeed hard to please.
The California Carnival Co. had charge of twenty separate entertainments of various character, ranging from a six-legged horse to a group of performing lions, or a balloon carrying passengers to a height of 2000 feet. Other attractions were "Birdland," where hundreds of the feathered songsters were shown, the Jungle Zoo, exhibiting the Missing Link, the Malay Sun Bear, the Great Horned Cassoway, and Satan, the "largest snake on earth." Other attractions were Molly and her Million Dollar Baby, Madeline Del Ray, the champion rifle and pistol shot of the world, a Chinese opium den, Alice, the strangest girl in the world, the famous California triplets, and a negro minstrel show.
Two huge tents were devoted to the industrial exhibit displayed by the enterprising jewelers, occupied small booths, but the wares they exhibited made up in value what they lacked in size.
The Anaheim Union High School was also represented by a suitable exhibition.
The displays of farm and horticultural products made by the Anaheim Board of Trade, and that of our sister town, Buena Park, would be hard to beat, even in California. Both stalls were filled with magnificent specimens, and the whole attractively arranged. Everything that grows and is good to eat could be found in the booths, and it would be difficult to decide which was the best display.
Not the least among the attractions to a goodly portion of the visitors, was the poultry exhibit. Eighty pens of chickens of high bred strains of several kinds were displayed by poultry fanciers throughout the county. There were also a few pens of turkeys, geese, ducks and pigeons.
the judges, who met at Odd Fellows Hall immediately after the parade, found it difficult to make a decision. The judges were J. R. Carhart of Fullerton, W. W. Wasser of Santa Ana, F. M. Smith of Orangethorpe, P. M. Koenig of Los Angeles, and J. B. Rea of Anaheim. After due deliberation the committee awarded the first prize, $100 in cash, to Stern & Goodman Mercantile Co. of Fullerton and the second, a $75 silver cup, to the City Meat Market.
The Stern & Goodman float was drawn by eight horses with two outriders. It was decorated in purple and white. In the center was a beautiful young lady seated on a throne surrounded by a bevy of girls.
The City Meat Market's display was a representative one. Half a dozen men were busily engaged in slicing meat and grinding sausage, and live dogs and pigs were being thrown into the hopper and apparently ground into sausage before the eyes of the spectators.
The Union Brewing Co. also had a splendid float. A party of ladies and gentlemen were seated at tables consuming Anaheim beer supplied to them by a couple of white-clad waiters.
The Benchley Fruit Co., of Fullerton, had a float with a trailer, both representing orange laden wagons. A party of young men on the wagons were distributing oranges indiscriminately to the crowds on the streets.
Schindler & Son's float was one of the best in line. It represented half a dozen masons busily engaged in erecting a brick wall around themselves.
The Anaheim Sugar Factory followed this with a decorated wagon loaded with Anaheim sugar.
Garden Grove's float was loaded with young men with exceedingly red noses, and "How Dry I Am," was one of the inscriptions on the rig.
The Olive Milling company's display was a fine one, representing a stack of the various grades of flour and meal manufactured by that institution. "Patronize Home Industry" was conspicuously displayed on the sides of the float.
A steam pump which continually poured forth a stream of water, was the main feature of the Wickersheim Implemnet company's display.
Most conspicuous among the floats was the big white one entered by the Knights of Pythias. It represented the Senate, or third degree of the order, and B. F. Houts of Orange occupied the throne, with ten or twelve
Zoo, exhibiting the Missing Link, the Malay Sun Bear, the Great Horned Cassoway, and Satan, the "largest snake on earth." Other attractions were Molly and her Million Dollar Baby, Madeline Del Ray, the champion rifle and pistol shot of the world, a Chinese opium den, Alice, the strangest girl in the world, the famous California triplets, and a negro minstrel show.
Two huge tents were devoted to the industrial exhibit displayed by the merchants of Anaheim. The first was occupied principally by automobiles and heavy machinery. P. J. Weisel & Co. had four cars on exhibition—two Kissels, a Flanders and a Ford Roadster. M. W. Skinner's exhibit was an Apperson, a Reo touring car and a Reo truck. Angell & Redit were showing two, a Maxwell and a Columbia, and J. W. Dickenson also had two, an Oakland and a Buick.
Other exhibitors of heavy machinery and other apparatus in this tent were the Byron-Jackson iron works, the Standard Oil Co., Smith-Booth-Usher Co., Machinery and Fittings, Sturtevant Vacuum Cleaner Co.
The second tent was divided into smaller stalls, and contained a greater variety of exhibits. B. V. Beebe occupied two stalls, one for machinery and the other for a sewing machine display.
M. W. Martenet's stall was devoted to advertising the virtues of Chi-Namel.
Louis Z. Kroeger had a goodly-sized shoe store besides other furnishing goods in his department.
Weber's book store had on display everything to be found in a first-class establishment.
W. H. Houts' display of sporting goods was up to date and attractive.
The largest booth in the tent was owned by H. A. Dickel, who had three lady clerks busy explaining the good qualities of Newmark's, Bishop's Armours' and other standard groceries.
Gerald Sandilands, of the Anaheim Fruit Association, had a splendid display of citrus fruit.
The Wiley B. Allen Music Co. of Los Angeles had two representatives showing a number of beautiful pianos and piano players.
The exhibit of the Olive Milling Co. was an attractive one, all the brands manufactured by that mill being displayed in artistic style.
Thompson's Nurseries of Orange had a good display, among their exhibits being samples of the famous alligator near which the exhibitor ex-

C. A. Westgate of Santa Ana, agent for the Bolton orchard heater, had a number on hand and explained their good qualities to all persons interested.
The stall of Frank Machleb, the harness man, was occupied by a beautiful dapple gray horse—of wood.

The committee which had been selected to award the prizes for the three best floats consisted of J. F. Simpson, of Buena Park, W. J. Cozad of Santa Ana, and J. B. Wilkle of Anaheim. Each man was unknown to the fellow members of the committee until they met at Odd Fellows' hall after the procession to adjudge the winners and award the prizes.

First prize, $60 Silver Cup, to the Odd Fellows' Lodge.

The Odd Fellows' float was suggestive of the benevolent work of that order. It represented the Good Samaritan overtaking the robbed and wounded Israelite by the wayside and rendering him needed assistance. Even the burro was in evidence and contentedly broused on the decorations of the float.
The Loyal Order of Moose which captured second prize, was represented by a float decorated in white and red, the colors of the order. Sixteen young ladies garbed in the same colors and carrying brilliant red parachutes depot of the K. of P. special from Los Angeles Sunday morning. Four hundred members of the Uniformed Rank, with an equal number from the subordinate lodges, belonging at Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Highland Park, Santa Monica, and Pasadena, were on the special. Hundreds had arrived on trains earlier in the day, or by automobiles or other conveyance, and the procession formed on East Center street and started on its triumphal march about 10:30 o'clock.
First in line was General Driftill of Oxnard, with his staff, Col.

The Loyal Order of Moose which captured second prize, was represented by a float decorated in white and red, the colors of the order. Sixteen young ladies garbed in the same colors and carrying brilliant red parasols, occupied the vehicle. The ladies occasionally burst into song and enlivened the occasion.
The float of the Brotherhood of Protective Order of Elks, which was given third prize, was dressed in purple and white. A huge white clock tower with four dials, rose in the center, and at each corner sat a beautiful young lady attired in white and purple. A gally decorated automobile filled with ladies followed and seven out-riders were in attendance. Stern & Goodman's auto, beautifully trimmed with the Elk colors, followed. It was a beautiful and brilliant display. A clown driving a burro labeled "A Stray from Arizona," was part of the Elk display.
The Fraternal Aid Society was represented by two automobiles, tastefully decorated with green and colors, and filled with ladies.
Anaheim Temple, Pythian Sisters, appeared in a float covered with the red, white and blue colors of the lodge, interwoven with greenery. It was loaded with ladies dressed in the same colors.
The big, white, pillared float, which represented the Knights of Pythias in Thursday's parade, was in line again with King B. F. Houts on the throne surrounded by togaed senators. Will Houts, as herald, dressed in brilliant robes, preceded it on horseback.
The Anaheim Board of Trade float, loaded down with representative products of Anaheim and vicinity, wound up the line of floats. The display was a splendid one, and was a credit to the committee arranging it.
Miss Susan Beebe in her beautiful and artistically decorated Everitt, which captured first prize in the flower parade on Wednesday, was also in the procession. Miss Cook who won first prize for double rig in the flower parade, was also in line, and many gaily decorated vehicles helped to add brilliancy to the scene.
Before the disbandment of the parade interesting and patriotic speech were made to the assembled them.
Rank, with an equal number from the subordinate lodges, belonging at Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Highland Park, Santa Monica, and Pasadena, were on the special. Hundreds had arrived on trains earlier in the day, or by automobiles or other conveyance, and the procession formed on East Center street and started on its triumphal march about 10:30 o'clock.
First in line was General Driftill of Oxnard, with his staff, Col. Charles Stansbury of Los Angeles, and Col. Nerney of San Francisco; Gen. J. O. Royer of the Major-General's staff, and Col. K. E. Miller of Los Angeles, commander of the Third Regiment, Uniform Rank, and his staff. After them came the Knights of Pythias band of Fullerton, followed by the rank and file in company platoons.
Upon the arrival of the head of the column in front of the city hall, a committee from the Japanese colony, stationed opposite the hall, began a bombardment of the heavens with Japanese daylight fireworks. Flags, patriotic and Knights of Pythias colors, and grotesque figures, bursting into being hundreds of feet in the air, and floating gently to the earth with parachute attachments, kept the thousands of spectators busy dividing their interest between the heavens and the earth.
Following the band came nine companies of Uniform Rank. They were:
Company 48, Santa Barbara, under command of Capt. C. B. Hankenson.
Company 23, of Tustin, Captain Bishop in command.
Company 21, Santa Monica, Capt. A. J. Zimmerla in charge.
Company 74, of Orange, under the command of Captain Ralph.

Company 26, of Anaheim, Captain Walter Amstutz in command.
Following the uniformed companies came the subordinate lodges with their streamers and banners. The Anaheim City Band brought up the rear of the long procession of Knights Queen Monica's golden chariot, followed by her five Malds of Honor in an automobile headed the long

Miss Cook who won first prize for double rig in the flower parade, was also in line, and many gaily decorated vehicles helped to add brilliancy to the scene.
Before the disbandment of the parade interesting and patriotic speeches were made to the assembled thousands from the Queen's pavilion, opposite the city hall, by Col. Royer, Judge J. S. Howard and Frank Ey, of Santa Ana. At the close of the speaking the procession was dissolved.
A conservative estimate places the number of persons who lined the streets during the parade and took part in the masquerade at night at twenty thousand. It was the largest crowd ever seen on the streets of Anaheim.

Two thousand Uniformed and subordinate Knights of Pythias, under the command of Brigadier-General J. A. Driffil, marched down Center St. after the arrival at the Santa Fe Company 72, of Highland Park, Captain J. W. Culliton in charge.
Company 32, Pasadena, commanded by Captain Whitney.
Company 26, of Anaheim, Captain Walter Amstutz in command.
Following the uniformed companies came the subordinate lodges with their streamers and banners. The Anaheim City Band brought up the rear of the long procession of Knights.
Queen Monica's golden chariot, followed by her five Malds of Honor, in an automobile, headed the long line of gay vehicles and autos filled with enthusiastic and noisy citizens of Anaheim, Fullerton, Orange and Santa Ana and other places. Over it all the Japanese continued to fire booms into the sky which burst into Knights mounted on richly-comparisoned chargers, or flags and emblems.
Center street from the city hall corner to Palm street had been reserved for the maneuvers of the competing companies, and for an hour the long procession marched and counter-marched, paraded and evolved, going through the manual like trained soldiers. At twelve o'clock the companies were disbanded and in a few minutes the booths and lunch-counters were the busiest places in Anaheim.
The judges selected to award the prizes in the competitive drill were General Driffil, Colonel Nerney and Colonel Stansbury, but their decision was not announced until late in the afternoon, when they gave out the following list:
