THE CHARLOTTE NEWS, MAY 17, 1914. Marshall. President Brevard Mc Dowell and the other officers of the Mecklenburg Declaration Society will bend the delegation welcoming the vice president. Marshals. Capt. John A. Parker, chief mar shall for the occasion, has appointed fifty young men to be his assistants in "handling the crowds and directing the parade on the Twentieth. They will all be handsomely mounted on tneir own horses and will wear sail or straw hats, or panamais, with black or dark blue coat and tan or dark grey riding trousers, with tan shoes or puttees. Military Features. The entries for the big parade of the roth are rracticallv all made and the line-up will be an imposing one. Con fpicuous in it will be the military fea ture. The coast artillery company from Fcrt Moultrie Charleston, S. C. equip- ned as infantrv and comprising 140 men. with a crack band, will be a val tiable contribution to this part of the parade and will probably be the first company in line. This company will be under command of Lieut. John Bel linger, of the Fort Moultrie post. Other rckUtary companies with their captains will be from Concord, Capt. L. A. Brown: Shelby, Capt. G. Kelly ie Priest: Statesville. Capt. Wm. M. Westmoreland: Rock Hill Capt. U C. McFadden: Charlotte, Hornets' Nest Riflemen, Lieut. Rufus M. Johnston; Charlotte, coast artillery company: Capt. Y. R. Cox: cadets from the Deaf and Dumb School. Morganton. Six Bands. There will be six bands in the pa lade. as follow : Post Band of Fort Moultrie with the company of regu lars; Charlotte Municipal Band: Kan napolis Band: the Rhodale Band from Lincclnton: the Morganton Band from Morganton: Proctor's Band from Con cord: the Steel Creek Baud from this county, ar.d I-ange's Model Show Baud Trere will be daily band concerts. The decorations for the celebration are being placed by Mr. Frank Daniels of the Lewis Decorating Company, of Atlantic City, who were the official dec orators for the Confederate Reunion at Jacksonville and the Shrine meet ing. Flags and streamers have been hung across the streets and artistic ar rangements of flags and buntings have been placed on the fronts of the busi ness houses up town. The veterans of Mecklenburg camp have generously and with fine feeling undertaken to furnish the decorations for the home. of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson on West Trade street. The city authorities have granted to the Mecklenburg Declaration Socie ty the privilege of giving concessions on the streets for the erection of refreshment stands, or whatsoever they may wish to give in this line. This is done by the city in order that the society may get the revenue from this source. In view of the fact that so many cf the attractions of the week are free to the public,, the society was granted this concession. Carnival Opens Tomorrow. One feature of the celebration will start Monday. Lange's Model Carnival Shows will be open at the carnival grounds, on East Morehead street, near the South Graded School building. It is said to be an unusually high-class attraction, with some of the greatest curiosities to be seen any where. A star attraction with the carnival all week is Bonavita, the famous lion tam er, who lost one arm several years ago, when one of his lions turned on him and inflcitcd terrible wounds. He arrived here yesterday with a cage of magnificent lions. Balloon Ascensions. Another exhibition to be seen daily at the carnival grounds and to be free to the rublic will be balloon as censions by Fred Owens, one of the greatest aeronauts in the world. Among other spectacular "stunts" he will be. hurled through the mouth of a cannon into the air and will come back to earth in a parachute. A Second Robinson Crusoe. Another big attraction at the carni val grounds will be Ki-Yi a real wild :nan. The name of course was improvis Ed, but the man was marooned on a small West Indian island in 1904: when the ship he was on went to piec es and his companions were lost. He lived there alone, Robinson Crusie style, for neary six years, until he was found by some mariners who touched there. His only companions' during the time were several cats that escaped w hen the ship on which he was sailing went down. ' - Tiaht-Wire Act. The biggest daily free attraction up town during the week probably will be the wire-riding act, in w hich the Mr. Wearnsing will ride a bicycle on a wire stretched from the top of he Piedmont building to the top of the court house 3ome. The wire was stretched Into po sition yesterday afternoon. 10 A. M. 11:00 A. 11:00 A. 11:00 A. plane to be fired from cannon on Midway grounds. 3:00 P. M. Opening Mammoth May Carnival and Midway. E.

The final game of the elimination . contest was played l.eru this afternoon and after eleven in- nings the Sylvan team emerged vic torious. . The game was hard fought from by. ginning to end and after the extra, innings started it was hard to 1 i the winner. Both teams were liuiug good and neither pitcher seemed tu be weakening. In the eleventh inning, however, the Sylvan team annexed two tallies . and things looked good for the Westerners. Spoon, however, commenced to weaken and before lie could be relieved the Easterners had three runners on the paths with none down. Duncan, who had caught the entire game for the Westerners then went in and struck out the next three batters on ten pitched balls. It vys a case of skill against strength and strength won.
