biggest days of the Carnival. The com
mittee which has had the arrangements of
this day in hand have completed their
work and everything has been arranged
and the parade will commence tomorrow'
morning at 11 o’clock. Following is a
complete program of -what will happen
during thA day: *•
The paia.de will start from the city hall
at 10 o’clock and will take up the line of
march given 'below. The parade will be
led by Miss Columbia, and her thirteen
maids of honor, representing the thirteen
original states. They will all ride in a
magnificent float built alt an enormous ex
pense by the Carnival Association.
Miss Columbia will be represented by
Miss Bessie Walker, one of Macon’s love
liest young ladies. This float will repre
sent the advent of peace.
Following this float will come Uncle
■Sam in his carriage surrounded by four
maids, representing the four new acquisi
tions—'Cuba, Porto Rico, the JJazurne Is
land and Hawaii. Uncle Sam will be rep
resented by Professor a'Mrtin.
The next float in the procession will be
that of the Knights of IPythias. Their float
will be the prettiest ever seen in the city
and will be one of the handsomes't in the
(Patriotic Day parade.
Following the float of the Knights of Py
thias will be that of the Elks, consisting
of an Elk with large antlers.
It was expected 'that the United Order of
Workmen would have a float in the parade,
but it was tool late for them to decide
when the matter was brought up.
Following the float of the Elks will be
that cf the Georgia-Alabama Business Col
lege-
All of the young ladies cf the college
will ride on th? float and the young men
will march in line.
The delegatee from ths Sigma Nu con
ven'Lion, which is now in session here, will
follow the young men from the business
college. There are abou't one hundred
members of 'the convention .here and it will
be of great assistance in filling out the
parade.
The mayor ond council in carriages will
follow the Sigma Nu i'ine, and with them
will be Governor Atkinson and other vis
itors and the executive committee of the
Carnival Association. There will be fully
fifty carriages in line.
Following the line of carriages will come
the famous Young America Volunteer Fire
Deparment, which was at one time the
city's tole protection from firee.
The old engine which 'the company once
owned was seen on the street this morning
and. it attracted much attention. Chief
Jones, of the firfie department, is having
it worked on today and when it appears in
the parade tomorrow it will have the ap
pearance of a new engine. It will be pull
ed by horses to morrow and all the old
members of the company will follow on
foot. It is sure to attract attention. Many
of the old members are among Macon most
prominent citizens and they are all proud
of the fact that they once belonged to old
number three. 1
The city fire department . will follow
Young AmericaCompauy. The firemen have
been busy all the week on the hose wagons
and engines and they are now in a tiptop
condition ad will present an excellent ap
pearace i the parade tomorrow.
The sanitary force will follow the fire de
partment. This part of the parade will be
in charge of the chief inspector.
The bicylists will bring up the rear end
of the procession. About one hundred have
entered their names t enter the parade and
the contest for the prizes for the best dec
oratd wheels. The prizes are still standing
provided there are enough entries to con
test for them.
Taken as a whole the parade comorrow
will Jae one of the best of the Carnival and
is sure to draw forth admiration. The
committee which has been in charge ha-s
worked bar dat getting up the parade and
they deserve much credit. The parade will
star:'at 11:30 o'clock and will cover the
entire business portion of the city. It wil
be a mile in Kngth and it will take over
two hours for it to cover the entire line of
march. .
Three bands will be in th? procession,
one will be in front, one in the center and
one will be in the rear.
Seats are now on sale at the store of
Benson & Houser for the grand stand at
the rate of $1 for the season. All who de-
sire those seats had better start early as
the demand for them will be great and
there is only a limited number to be sold.
The line of march for the parade is as
follows;
The following is the correct and official
line of march as given to The News tafiay
by President Waxelbaum. It is, practically
the same as that given in The News on
Saturday. It seems that there has been
some difference of opinion as to the feasa
bility of forming the Trades Display at the
park and consequently some change has
been made:
'Patriotic Day—Form at ?ity hall, First
street, east side; north side of Poplar to
Third; cross south side of Poplar to Fourth
(east side), to Plum, across to west side
Fourth and countermarch to Poplar (north
side), to Third (west side), to Cherry
(south side), to Fourth,-countermarch on
north side of Cherry to Third (west side),
to Walnut, cross to east side of Third to
south side of Cherry to* First; counter
march on north side of Cherry to Second,
Second to south side of Mulberry to east
side of Third, to north side of 'Mulberry to
Second, cross to south side of 'Mulberry tQ
Spring, where parade will be dismissed.
Floral Parade—Parade forms corner Col
lege street and Georgia avenue; down Mul
berry to First, to Poplar, where line is
taken same as Patriotic Day, until parade
reaches Mulberry and First, where it turns
into First to north side of Cherry, to
Fourth, and countermarch, and battle of
roses.
Trades Parade —Line as Patriotic Day,
except when parade reaches Mulberry and
New to Fourth, where floats remain for
thirty minutes for inspection.
'War and Peace —'Parade forms on Cherry
and Fourth, down Fourth (west side) to
Plum, countermarch (east side) Fourth to
north side of Poplar, where it takes same
line of march as Patriotic Day. At Mul
berry and Spring, 'parade turns to Coleman
hill, where tableau occurs.
The line of march covers the entire bus
iness portion of the city and everybody
will be given an opportunity to witness
the parades as it passes. The parade will
be one of the longest that will take place
and it will in all probability take two
hours to finisn the line of march. Third'
street will be the best place in the city
to view all the parades as all of them will
pass on that street several .times. Another
place where an excellent view of all the
parades can be obtained is the grand
stands which have been erected on Cherry
street. The admission to these stands is
25 cents, but it will be worth the price as
an excellent view of everything that takes
place can be had.
There are two great attractions on the
bill for tomorrow night. Al G. Field and
his famous troop of minstrels and Pain’s
great Battle of Manila. Both of these at
tractions will draw immense crowds and
seats at 'both will be at a premium.
Lieutenant Robert Hazlehurst, who is
marshal of the day for tomorrow and will
have charge of all of the doings of the day.
He has completed the arrangements and
the parade will be a great success as the
lieutenant knows well how to handle pa
rades.
The public comfort committee will open
up their headquarters at the Johnson &
Harris building tomorrow morning and
will be ready to give the list of people who
will entertain visiters has greatly in
creased and many new names have been
•added. ,
holidaTgiven.
To the School Children by the
Board of Education.
When the children of the public\schools
assembled at their respective buildings
this morning; there was a feeling of un
easiness in the minds of all 'for fear that
they would have to continue in the schools
all during the week; but their teachgrs
son relieved their minds of this uneasiness
as they stated to their classes the decision
cf the Board of Education. At a special
meeting of the board which was held on
Friday night, the members decided that it
would be best to allow the children a holi
day during this week as a majority of them
would stay out in spite of everything uiat
the teachers couM-do. They decided- how
ever. not to let the pupils know until Mon
day morning at the regular hour for the
opening of the schools.
The children will all be allowed the
whole week for a holiday. All of them are
jubilant over the good news and the
streets are alive with them today. The
action of the board has met with the ap
proval of all of the parents and the Car
nival Association deeply appreciates their
kindness.
MASONS WILL ENTERTAIN.
Wil! Keep Open House at Their Hall on Cot
ten Avenue.
The Masons of Macon will keep open
house to their visiting brothers during.the
Carnival. Their hall cn Cotton avenue has
been beautifully decorated in the national
colors and will be used as a reception hall.
The wives and daughters of the Masons
held a meeting at the hall Saturday after-
macoi: Monday evening. October io .ago
noon and made al! arrangements for the
entertainment of the visitors.
A committee on entertainment was ap
pointed and several members of the com
mittee will be on hand all during the day
to see to the entertainment of the guests.
Many Masons will be in attendance as
over a hundred have written their inten
tion of coming. The? will be royally eu
uer<.ained by the Masons of the city who
will do everything in their power to make
them have a good time.
DRILLS FOR LIVING FLAG
Will Be Held Tomorrow Morning and Wed
nesday.
The children who are to' participate in
the Living Flag drill are requested to
meet at the stand tomorrow morning at S
o clock for the purpose of drilling. An
other meeting will also be held Wednesday

Two drills have been hell up to date and
everything has been progressing splendid
ly. Both the teachers and children have
shown an unusual amount of interest and
the exercises are sure to be a success.
ENGINEHERE. •
The “Famous Little Giant”
Will Be in the Parade.
Many of the old members of the old fire
company No. 3 held a rousing meeting last
Saturday night in Sheriff "Westcott's office
at the court house.
The meeting was called to order by Hon.
John T. Boifeuillet and Judge Hardeman
was elected chairman.
It was announced to the members of the
company present that the old engine, fa
miliarly known as the “Little Giant,’’’ had
arrived. Mr. W. A. Davis has consented
to store it while here and assured the
members that the it would be well taken
care of. The engine is one of ?the old time
hand engines and it was Macon’s sole de
pendence for many years. Chief Jones an
nounced that he would have the engine
polished up as much ais possible today and
that it would be in good condition for the
parade.
A committee on arrangements was ap
pointed and a meeiting of that commitlte
was held ait the city hall this morning and
all the arrangements, for the parade were
made. The engine will be decorated with
flowers and 'the wives of the members of
the company are requested ito furnish the
flowers. The engine will be pulled by the
horses and will be followed by all of the
old members of the company. All of the
old members will be supplied with badges.
The badges will be red and blue and will
have the number cf the company printed
on it. All of the old prizes will be carried
in the parade together with the old flag.
Mr. L. C. Ricks? the oldest foreman of
the* company will be in charge of the pa
rade. ,
The members of the company will meet
early tomorrow morning and will get
everything in readiness for the parade
which will begin about 11 o’clock.
VENETIAN REVELS
Will Be One of Most Interesting Features of
Carnival.
The Venetian Revels which are to take
place on Thursday night will be the most
interesting sight seen in Macon in some
time. They will be held on Cherry street,
which will be specially lighted for the oc
casion. The street will be roped off and
no one will be allowed within the ropes
unless a mask is worn. There will be no
charge for the revels and everything will
be free.
The revelers will afford the onlookers a
great deal of amusement as it will be im
possible tq recognize them. Many promi
nent people will be among the Revelers
and a general good time is assured. Music
will be furnished by one of the bands and
everything is sure to pass off pleasantly.
PAIN’S FIREWORKS,
The Most Wonderful Spectacle Ever Seen in
Stha World.
The battle cf Manila and all its attend
pyrotechnic glories will be the chief at
traction in Macon for the next three
nights, commencing tomorrow.
It is probable that this is the most mag
nificent and elaborate display of fireworks
ever seen in the South. In fact it has
been pronounced by those who have seen
■it elsewhere the finest and most expensive
exhibition of the kind the world has ever
known.
Pain never does anything by He
will put on this show with the same mag
nificence and attention to detail that "has
marked everywhere in the country and
that has attracted so much attention the
world over.
The exhibition wil be realistic. It will
carry with it a better idea of a real bat
tle than anything else could possibly do
and the people of this city and surround
tng country cannot afford to miss it. It
will be the last time any such opportunity
for getting an idea of the terrors qf war
without any of the attendant dangers that
tas ever been offeree!.
All of the American and Spanish fleets
will appear in the fierce encounter. The
battle will rage in all its fury. One after
another the Spaniards will go down be
neath the fierce fire of the Americans,
burning and exploding and sinking, while
from the land batteries the great siege
guns will roar.
This naval victory—which has gone into
history to the ineffable glory cf the Ameri
can armies, will not only be a pyrotechnic
display of unparalleled magnificence in its
setting and gorgeous embellishment, but
will be an object lesson of American prow
ess, which every man, woman and child
in whose heart love of country abides
should see.
Manager Lee and Director Rose have se
cured the services of the members of the
First Georgia regiment. There will be
over 200 people on the stage.
