Don't you think they were in it? j It began to rain this morning at 2.30. Didn't the paraders have luck? Messrs. H. Munson & Co.'s decorations were unintentionally omit ted in the list published, but were very attractive. 1 . Never "since the world began" have so many beautiful women, both foreign and domestic, been seen on the streets of Wilmington. No admission fee . will Jbe charged to-day, and only five cents charged for admission to-night at the Bazaar at the Y. M. C. A. Mr. C. H. Cooper vanquished his closest contestors in the three mile bicycle race by three minutes, in stead of seconds, as was misprinted. The decorations and illumina tions on the line of march last night were so numerous, and other demands lor space so pressing, that we are unable to give names. Barrentine & Turlington would have had their fifteen-feet high orange tree, loaded with fruit, in the parade last night, but for fear of shaking off the oranges. It would have been a capital addition. ". Rhodes & Bowden and P. H. Hayden had the mishap to have their floats break down on Front nearthe corner of Market street last night, but they were repaired and went on their way rejoicing in the procession. The Wilmington Cycle Club and all visiting wheelmen in the city are requested to meet this evening at 7.45 o'clock, at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A., and carry as many lanterns as possible, for the lantern parade.

Although ex-Senator Ingalls is not in as high feather as he jused to be in Kansas, there is one man who has not lost sight of him. It is an editor who had been sending him his paper for sixteen years, and the other day sent him his autograph in a bill for sixteen years' subscription. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep., rises to remark that "there is no doubt that the silver question is to be the principal coming issue," that is to say that is what the es teemed G.-B. and other Republican journals would like to make tire principal issue, if the Democrats would be so obliging as to accommo date them. The gay and festive Chief of Police in Salt Lake City celebrated Thanksgiving day by playfully put- ting his pistol to the stomach of one of the policemen and pulling the trigger. His pistol didn't go off, but the policeman's did, and so did the Chief of Police. He went off with a lot of lead in his head, and his friends buried him next day. Miss Kate Field, of Washington, denounces the "malignant stupidity ot the tariff system which imposes a duty on foreign pictures to. protect American art," when all respectable American' artists have repeatedly de clared that they don't want any pro tection.

Grand carnival and bicycle parade at 8 o'clock. A Big Business. Alex. Sprunt & Son made a parade yesterday afternoon at 3.30 that was notable as representing one of the largest enterprises in the State, the Cot ton Compress and exporting of cotton. A handsome model of a 'full-rigged steamship was mounted on a float, and adorned with flags and other decora tions. Preceding was Miller's band, then came members of the firm jn car riages. Following were 150 or more stevedores and cotton compress hands carrying cotton stalks peeping from open bolls. Then followed a long line of colored employes carrying transparencies, each stating the name of the ships, that had been loaded at the Champion Compress docks and the number of bales of cotton on each. The display was well worthy of the largest like industry in the Southand was universally admired. at all Cotton Gin Fire. A gin and grist mill, 62 bales of cot ton, and a quantity of cotton seed, were destroyed by fire Nov. 18th last, at Lyon's Landing, Bladen county. It was the property of Mr. A. A.

The rules governing the snooting win be announced, and entries can be made on the grounds. The Various Business Interests of Wil mington Attractively Bepresented in the Parade The Procession a Mile Long Inspiring Music from Splendid Bond Chariots. Well, the management of the Grand Welcome Week for everybody, gratui tously offered by the business men of Wilmington, have crossed the Rubicon of doubt and danger and emerged from the gloom of possible failure in scoring for the culminating event, the trades parade, a stupendous success. This was the grand feature about which alf others paled into puny insignificance. There were so many rocks and treacherous shoals upon .which this especial event turned, upon which it might go to pieces, such as likelihood of rain, that all most nearly and dearly interested, drew a long breath of most satisfactory relief when it was over and victory crowned this supreme effort. It is no small thing to get up, en gineer through and pilot into the haven of safety an enterprise like this praade proved to be. It was gigantic in con ception and glorious in achievement. In compassing its fruition the Parade Committee and all other subordinate helpers, by no means leaving out Capt. W. R. Kenan, chief . marshal, and his efficient corps of assistants, are deserv ing of the city's thanks and upon their brows should repose the laurel crowns. But they could have accomplished noth ing without the active and hearty co operation of the citizens who gave lib erally of their means and provided the trades display at their own individual expense. And all this, with their time, was unstintedly given. So to these be the honor and glory. Wilmington's star was propitious; the rain did not fall to crush the life out of the procession, and praise for the city is glib and frequent on the tongue of every visitor, for whose edification the spec tacle was arranged. And these waiting on-lookers were grouped and massed in vast multitudes along the line of parade, eager to catch every phase of the. en trancing and kaledioscopic picture. At least 25,000 people gazed delightedly on the long procession. THE PARADE. According to programme, the floats began forming on Market, east of Tenth street, shortly after 8 p. m., and started off in the following order: First, the Second Regiment Band in a gaily decorated wagon headed the pro cession and cheeked up the marchers and spectators with fine specimens of their best music. Then came the Executive Committee in carriages, and after them a platoon of police. After these, at the post ot honor to which these gloriously, clever young meu were pre-eminently entitled, fol lowed the Wilmington Association of Commercial Travellers. They are not only the pioneers of trade, but they make trade for the city, and but for their genial cleverness they would not suc ceed in this. Therefore, the best and brightest of the youth of a community are selected to represent the business thereof. The boys are always good looking and tastefully garbed, but they appeared peculiarly well last night in a uniform, consisting of silk hats, blue checked ulsters with capesf and carrying in one hand a grip sack and in the other a cane. Another noticeable feature was the greatest cheering and most extensive and en thusiastic waving of feminine handker chiefs was observed when the trade tourists approached. The noble army of drummers was led by Drill Marshal O. P. Cazaux, and the following com prised the band marching in two ranks with torch bearers on either side: J. D. Bell, Owen F. Love, J. S. Burnett, J. McK. Tolar, W. . Hendersou, J. W. McRae, C. D. Foard, W. H. Gilbert, O. P. Cazaux, J. Swinson, L, P. Best. Geo. V. Strong. B. F. Lee. A. W. Middleton, W. D. Pugh, J. J. Sternburger.

Pearsall, Albert Hay. ?-m names mav have escaped the reporter's observation. A LOVELY TABLEAU. The next in line was Wilmington's corporative contribution, in the form of a magnificent Oriental chariot decked with flags, covered with a rich canopy and illuminated by Chinese lanterns and flambeaux and occupied by thirteen as rharmini? and beautiful houn as ever o drew breath to bless this balmy South ern clime. Each represented one of the nrio-inal fralaxv of States and bore in r r t Jier hand a flag and wore a shield im printed with the coat of arms of the State she represented. Miss Bettie Creasy personated North Carolina and was the central figure, and about her were most seductively grouped Misses Genie Southerland, representing New York ; Fannie Poisson, Georgia ; Mary West, Connecticut; Elizabeth Weill. Massachusetts; Augusta Ortman, New Jersey; Annie Mclver, Vir ginia ; Blanche -'Thompson, Penn sylvania ; Annie Ray Mayer, Dela ware ; Corinne King, New Hamp shire ; Florence Willis, South Carolina; Alma Williams, Rhode Island; Mae-eie Base. Marvland. Mr. John Sykes did the "Uncle Sam" act. . The Second Division was led by the Germania Cornet Band with twenty in struments in a gorgeous shell-shaped chariot with seats graduated to the back portion, presenting the gay uniforms of the gallant musicians in a most capti vating way. The vehicle was drawn by four horses wearing gorgeous trap pings, and ., was covered with variegated bunting and many flags. It made a picture long to be remembered, The Soutbport Cornet Band also rendered delightful music, but unfor tunately they were not provided with a conveyance. THE FLOATS. The Atlantic Coast Line displayed three exceedingly handsome floats, with everything in the best taste and the acme of appropriateness, all denoting the energy, enterprise and enlightened public spirit of the managers. One float exhibited a transparency with mono gram "A. C. L." on one end, and a fac simile of the "Atlantic Coast Despatch" as the letters appear on the real venti lated cars; two mounted engines were shown rushing down the track, a goddess holding the scales ot Justice between them. Ceres alsoappeared, seated on a bale of cotton, holding a pen and tablet. The third float was de signed by the officials and clerks of the A. C. L; it was drawn Dy six norses wim fancy covers and "A. C L. m red let ters on the covers, attended by six offi cers in full regulation uniform. The float represented a pavilibn and was decorated with Chinese lanterns in dif ferent colors, with appropriate emblems of railway service. A big headlight in front bore out the illusion, and regular train signals were displayed in proper colored lights, and a fellow might well fancy he saw before him a magnificent vestibule train passing in panorama. This display elicited great admiration. The Seaboard Air Line was most ap propriately represented by a most elab orately and beautifully decorated float upoo-which was a splendid and realistic freight car. drawn by four horses, deco rated with covers. On top of this was an engine, tender and cars, with every part perfectly reproduced in wood. The doors rf the freight car were open and inside could be seen the freight pack ages. The car was the size ot a narrow gauge car with S. A. L. conspicuously inscribed, and also "New and Direct Route to the West, by Way of Wilming ton; open 1st January, 1892." It was all decorated and illuminated with torches and was a conspicuous feature di the show. Messrs. Geo. R. French & Sons' float was a raised platform or dais, some four feet high, on the sid of which was the name of the firm in large gilt letters, and 1822 to 1891 in same style of let ters, showing date from commencement of business to the present time. Mount ed on the dais or raised platform was a lame sliDDer of latest pattern and style, r . - . . .." , . i , seven feet long and tnree leet nign, wun a French heel one and a half feet high, and this slipper was gilded and had a handsome bow over the instep; the whole being on white grouud which gave it a very handsome appearance. The Gleaves Hardware Co.'s turn out. is deserving of special mention. One float was a tall pedestal, draped in black with red trimmings and on this was an anvil and old Vulcan with his striker hammering away on his anvil. It was drawn by six caparisoned horses with postillions a ttheir heads. The chorister and Vulcan were in ancient garb, as were the postillions and torch bearers. The second wagon carried hardware implements. . H. L. Fennell. the' Horse Milliner, displayed his business most suitably with his large papier macne gray uuiac harnessed to a buggy and other harness goods, well decorated and lighted with Chinese lanterns. Wm. Cumming s float showed a man working at making mattresses. M. M. Katz & Son's float represented the Eifel tower gaily illuminated and hung about with lanterns in ainereni colors, and showed up his large business well. Messrs. Sol. Bear. Jr., had samples or dry goods, notions, clothing, etc., load ed on his float in illuminated boxes. W. H.

T. C. Craft's furniture store was well represented in a handsome parlor suit, five cabinet pieces and reception arti cles, in a surrounding of flags and bunt ing. Chestnut and Barrentine adopted the pleasantly familiar illustration of Mother Goose and had a big shoe illuminated and with the historic old woman inside with her numerous progeny. Taylor's Bazaar's float was a "cute' conception, with Santa Claus on top of a chimney scattering presents; the whole brightened up with gay decorations and lanterns. . , , . Rhein-tem & Co. had a very fetching Japanese float, prettily decorated with bunting and illuminated with Chinese lanterns. Sam Bear, Sr., made a most credita ble display-of tobacco and a big tobacco bag all illuminated. B. F. Penny had a well conceived float of singing boys, and some knock ing bones. It was decorated with Chi nese lanters. R. Portner Brewing Company had a display of beer bottles, with flags and buntiner. Hanby & Russell represented their business with a transparency of a pile driver and men building a trestle, at work on a wharf and housebuilding in rear. T. C. Stevenson &Taylor had a hand somely decorated and inscribed float representing the wholesale grocery trade. S. H. Fishblate ' as usual, came well to the front rank in a float artistically decorated and elaborated in illumina tions, with colored cloth lanterns show ing, and above all appeared prominent "Fishblate. King Clothier." Jas. D. Nutt, druggist, had a six-angle transnarencv. with "Promptness, Purity, Precision," inscribed thereon ; a pair of scales and mortar, and a large owl perched on it. Morris Bear & Bros.' float, drawn by three horses, showing a wholesale dry goods merchant's counting room with cashier, shipping clerks, type-writer and drummers, with the firm name illumi nated on both sides of the float.

Springer & Co. had a float finelv descriptive of the wholesale hard ware business. Below it was brilliantly illuminated with calcium lights; on top were lamp-posts and lamps, a belfry adorned with hardware and studded with bull's eye lanterns and a bell ring ing on top. There was also a corn Snellen and a large North State axe sus pended. The Atlantic Coast Line shops were represented in the parade with a corps, of artisans, with appropriately inscribed transparencies, from the different branches of work. It was decidedly one of the very best and most commendable features of the show. Each shop was in charge of a foreman. R. M. Mclntire's float exhibited a lace parlor with chenille porteires and moquette and Brussels carpets, Turkish rugs, and with "Welcome Our Country i.ousins ano "inaustrv anu vri in scribed. P. H.

The reporter was rejoiced to see so much patriotism displayed in the - decorations and illuminations of private residences along the line of the -trades procession last night. It ' may be safely said that a dwelling that was not so -ornamented was a rare exception. The First Baptist Church and the Temple of Israel were brightly lit up inside, and - showed lanterns on the porticos. " The extent of the illuminations may be ascertained from the line of march, which begun at the corner of Market and Tenth streets: down Market to Fourth; down Fourth to Dock; down Dock to Third; down Third to Church; down Church to Front; up Front to Red Cross; up Red Cross to Seventh; down Seventhto Chesnut; down Ches nut to Third; down Third to Princess; down Princess to Front into Market.

Wilmington has the largest crowd within her hospitable -limits that she ever entertained before, and it is the best natured and behaved crowd any city was ever blessed, with. Not an arrest for drunkeness or disorderly conduct by the alert police, is a good record for our glorious Tarheels and Palmettoes. Every train yesterday added it hundreds. wagon.
