Never before in the history of El
Paso has a crowd of - such enormous
proportions been saen on the streets as
lined the thoroughfares last night to
witness the grand parade.
From Overland street to the Little
Plaza on El Paso and from the Little
Plaza around to the Orndorff and east-
ward the gorgeous and glittering pa-
rade passed through a solid wall of
humanity packed from building to
building and leaving an opening just
wide enough to permit the floats to
pass.
Visitors more than residents were
impressed by the extent of the crowd
that El Paso has collected within her
gates and expressions complimentary
to the city were heard on every band.
It was estimated by the majority of
persons on the street that the crowd
contained at least 30000 persons and
many estimated that the number was
even greater. It is believed that there
are at least ten thousand visitors now
in the city. In the whole town all but
-about 25 rooms are occupied and peo-
ple are sleeping on cots in hallways
ia many of the lodging houses. The
capacity of the restaurants and saloons
is taxed and had it notbeen for the
skill displayed by Uncle John Julian in
finding sleeping apartments for the
out of town- people many would have
been compelled to spend the night in
the open.
The high tide of the attendance was
probably reached last night as visi-
' tors had been pouring into the city
continuously for three days or more
" and It is probable that they will begin
to depart today although the bulk of
the crowd will remain for the festivi-
ties tonight. To accommodate the de-
parting guests the T. & P. has put on
a special to leave tonight at 10 o'clock
This train will be well patronized.
i The confetti battle last night was a
howling success and the number of par-
ticipants was greater than on the pre-
vious night. It is said however that
confetti scooped up from the ground
yesterday morning was thrown and
the alkali dust contained therein injur-
ed the eyes of a number of people.
The maskers were out in force and
had a jolly good time of it. Tonight
the streets will be crowded with them
and the hilarity will be greater than
' any night during the week. It will be
well for people to wear goggles to pro-
tect their eyes.
The spectacular eruption of Mount
Franklin at o'clock will astound tne
natives by its magnificence and the
grand mask balls will be overcrowded
with participants and spectators.
' The Parade in Detail.
Thp first float of the pageant was
the Artist's Dream. At the rear was
a reclining figure dressed in becom
: ing draperies. The float was made to
represent the original painting ana
at the front was a figure dressed In
costume standing on a pedestal in a
dance.
The costuming was elaborate being
entirely in white and as this the first
float passed many were the exclama
tions of admiration from tne spec in-
ters. " Vitality of tAotaer Earth was a sta-
tuary representation of triumph.
Mounted on the float was a Roman
chariot to which were hitched spirited
white steeds. The chariot seemed to
have just returned winner from the
' Roman race course. The driver held
aloft the prized wreath of laurel and
the horses were in an attitude of con-
scious victory.
Third came The Gladiators. In a sea
of purple and imperial light the victor
stood the great muscles of his mighty
arms and iegs taut still with the giant
effort which had brought his last foe
prostrate. Above in the gallery sat
the emperor of Rome in his heavy
"' iiiilllll
robes at his side tbe members of his
court regally clad their hair tied in
Psyche knots their arms bared before
the long Roman sleeves.
Next came the float representing the
rock of ages. This was one of the most
beautiful of the entire pageant. The
effect of the lights was to make the
float a white glowing mass of beauty.
At the rear was the cross and a young
lady dressed in white clinging to it.
The appearance of the rock was very
fine and at the bottom were the waves
as they dashed against it.
When looking at the Fairies' Chariot
from a distance it seemed supported on
a mountain of lights. After tbe float
came nearer one could see it was only
a device in the arrangement of the
sides.
The chariot was drawn by two large
Bengal ugers. The beasts did not
seem very ferocious. They were evi-
dently under the charm of the fairies
magic wands.
i Magnificent in every detail was The
Dancing Girl' a representation of a
woman showing her grace of motion
and beauty of figure before a mediaeval
potentate. The richness of the dancer's
apparel ared filmy textile woven in
gold and spangled in crystal; tbe regal
costuming of the ' watchers and the
flash and .glow of the many lights
strongly upon this made it realistic in
the extreme.
Next came the float . representing
"Gulliver In Brobdignag." It was a
magnificent representation of the idea
as portrayed in Gulliver's Travels. At
the rear oi tbe float was tbe giant sit-
ting at his desk. There was a lighted
lamp with a shade on it. Near the
lamp stood Gulliver and the giant was
looking at him evidently as though
Gulliver was explaining his troubles.
What an ideal of creation was the
Garden of Love. There between mas-
sive marble pillars under verdant can-
opy of a spreading tree sat the lovers
oblivious to everything but their own
secret affairs. How happy the lovers
seemed in their places of seclusion.
Nothing to disturb them but the sweet
strains of music which floated from
the players below.
"Evening" was the ninth float in the
parade. It was symbolical of peace at
eventide and was beautiful. A barque
swan-like with high rolled prow float-
ed softly in a summer sea in the even-
ing twilight. The single sail bellied in
the gentle fragrant breeze while the
oarsman leaned languidly to his task.
Beautiful women reclined in the rock-
ing barque while one added to the
sense of profound rest by the ' gentle
The float "The Apotheosis of lxrais
XIV." was one of the most magnificent ;
of the pageant. The entire coloring
was perfect and tbe representation was
realistic' In the center were the winged
horses attached to a cnariot. By the !
colored lights the chariot assumed the
appearance of fire. In the rear seat-
ed on the chariot was Louis XIV and
just behind him yet was an attendant
holding a crown over the flowing locks
of the king.
That period in English history ilium-
mated y the character of Queen Eliz-
abeth and Shakespeare was faithfully
represented by the creation of H. H. j
Shinarski. Shakespeare stands in his
purple velvet costume reciting parts of
his immortal plays to the queen. She
sits upon her throne attended by ladies
and gentlemen of the court. In no float
of the pageant was there such a glitter j
of jewels and appearance of splendor
Then came "The Bull Chariot." This
was from a marble group. Two short
diminuitive bulls such as the Romans
used for sacrifice are drawing a char-
iot in which is a symbolical figure.
and at either side are two centurions.

Englishmen from speculating on the likelihood of the queen's demise. How-

SURVEYORS NEAR

WORK ABOUT FINISHED
Engineer - Wambaug Refuses to Talk
About It But Everything is Favo-
The surveyors of the Bisbee railroad
are now within less than ten miles of
El Paso and are pushing the work with
all possible haste.
They passed Straus Thursday even-
ing and will be in El Paso by next
Tuesday. ' This comes from' several of

."Mr. Wambaugh chief engineer for '
the company is in El Paso now and
stated this morning that . the work
would be completed soon but . he did .
not know what that meant. Mr. Wam-
baugh began with the cane old story
that the company was not in the rail-
road 'business but would build into El
Paso if they found ij to -their interest
but-if not would entertain any propo-
sition from the people of this city. He
says that the company is building so
many things just now and that they
have not given much time or thought
to the El Paso extension but when th
preliminary survey is completed they
will be in position to do something or
call the deal off.
"What the company will do about
the El Paso line is very uncertain."
said Mr.' Wambaugh. "and will remain
so for some time I do not know what
