better in many respects this year than

make this change as it was the pre

The judges issued the folloAf ng
statement late this afternoon.
The judges feel constrained to an
nounce that by reason of the very
superior presentation made oy all
of the participants in the parade they
were at great difficulty in arriving at
a just decision. The great interest
taken by all citizens and business j
men ?nd civ.'c organizations lo make j
a creditable showing was In all ways j
successful and thoroughly appreciat- j
ed by all, as evidenced by th'e enthus-1
iastic applause given by the admir-!
ers that thronged the line of march j
It would seem, however, In view of
.all of the consideration:-, talcen into
account in arriving at the awards,
that prizes should be given as fol-1
lows:
1. The Belk-Williams Co.
2. The independent Ice Co., and
W. R. Dosher & Co.
3 The Wilmington Fox Club.
The beautiful cupids mounted upon
white pillars of the Belk-Williams
Co.'s float will long remain in pleas
ing rememberance. The color effects
upon this float were very well work
ed out and the exhibit in every .way
pleasing.
Special mention should oe given to
the sprightly and colorful effect of
the Bon Marche exhibit. The stylish
apparel of the la-ies attendant upon
the float was very favorably com
mented upon by every one.
Much interest was evidenced in

cool. The Ice Co. is to be congratu
lated upon the ingenuity displayed
in bringing this specially Interesting
feature float in the parade.
The committee, while appreciating
the novel interest incident to the
battle ship float, folt -mpressed in
awarding the second prize with the
fact that the W. R. Dosher & Co.
float should bo taken along with the
Independent Ice Co.'s float. In this
instance a float of much educational
value was constructed. A modern
plumbing outfit for country homes
was in active demonstration from the
water supply with the black mammy ;
who was pumping water in a pneu
matic tank which was rE&dy at the
taps and actually flowed from the
shower bath sprays. The pains tak
en to develop this interesting and in
structive exhibit should certainly be
rewarded.
The entry of so many horsemen
into the exhibit of the Wilmington
Fox Club gave an unusually season
able note that was appreciated by
every one along the line. The parade
committee is to be congratulated up
on having had this characteristical-lj-
rru' hern entry arranged for, and

The committee feels that special
mention would be made of he very
attractive float presented by Miss
Lucy Moorj, which was beautiful
with goiegous yellow chrysanthe
mums and charm'ug young ladies be
decked with the same wonderful
flower.
The Cantwell Lumber Co.'s exhibit
was highly creditable and created
much interest among the beholders.
The old time wagon drawn by a
steer and loaded with high grade
pork products for market created
much favorable comment.
The exhibit of the Wilmington Iron
Works was specially novel and indi
cates how interest and thoughtful
ness may, by simple devices, turn a
commonplace portable boiler into a
very interesting exhibit for an indus
trial parade. ,
.The Tidewater Power Co.'s exhibit
showed electorical and gas devices of
economic benefit to the consumer. , .
The parade was made diversified
by the splendid showing of the civic?
organizations, represented by the
Wilmington Light Infantry, which
marched in fine order, the Boy
Scouts, the Rotary Club. The Y. W.
C. A. had a beautiful float with sym-
bolic white figures and Graperies, and
the Wilmington High school was
represented by a bevy of students
dressed in black ana yellow which
was much commended for its attrac
tiveness. Continued on Sixth column, this page1.
