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!

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.
