ALBANY WEEKLY HERALD VOL. 9. ALBANY. GA.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1901. NO 30 THE GREAT CARNIVAL IS IN FULL BLAST. In Spite oi the Bad Weather Qreat Crowds Throng to the City From All Directions. Floral Parade Was Postponed Until Noon Tomorrow-Pros pects Bright For Grand Suc cess. From Tneadav's Herald. The Hay Day Fair and Elks’ Carnival opened this morning? with everything but the weather propitious for its sac ness. Lest night the clouds which began oolleoting over the oity yesterdny after noon] sent down their rains, [and a mean, drizzly morning ushered in Al bany’s great (all show. The rain, whioh continued nutil about 0 o’clock this morning, interfered to some ex tent with the preparations for the open ing of tho shows, and only a few of tl era were re tdy to open at lOjo’clook. Bat by 11:80 most all of tho Bhows wore open and doing a good business. At 10 o’olook tho Fourth Regiment Band gave a concert from the band stand on top ot the country store, and shortly after the Qreat Sidonla gave his interesting slack wire aot, which was watched by a great orowd of en thusiastic spectators. At 2 o'olook Daredevil Kilpatrick made his thrilling ride ap the 150 foot inoline and down again. This thrilling f °% from ’ o aro no kloks coming’ ters. The shows whioh opened yesteruny havo all been going today, and some that were a little late in getting started are now taking in dimes and quarters right along. The Bhowmen say that, despite the weather conditions, they are doing better bnsiuess here than was done At any of the street fairs they have visited in other Southern olties, The publio is beginning to appreciate the big poultry show at the Auditorium, aud tho crowds that visit there are in creasing. Tho oliickens, turkeys, Bel gian hums aud other pet stock is at tracting a great deal ot attention, aud some fine scores are being made by many of the'entries. On account of the Inolcmenoy of the weather, there were very few agrionl- tural exhibits plaoed on tho streets yos- terda •*. Farmers with flue specimens of their hay crops did not care to run the risk of having them ruined by rain, and therefore waited till today to pat their displays on those portions of Broad aud Washington streets that had been roserved for drain. It must be admitted that t agricul tural display is disappointi .g. What there is of it is all right, and is highly oreditable to the farmers who are mak ing exhibits, but the nambor is limited. The spaces reserved for farm exhibits are not filled, there still being many vaoauoies. Howover, the furmsare suf ficiently well represented to keep the crowd reminded that we are having an agricultural fair in connection with the oarnival, and that the original objeot of the fair association is not being forgot ten. The judges will make np their ver dicts this afternoon, and the names of nrize takers will be published in tomor row’s Herald. The names of the judges for the agricultural exhibits have not been made publio. aot was witnessed by a large orowd of spectators. Every train coming into the olty to day was orowded, and a better-humor ed, livelier oarnival crowd than has crowded Albany’s streets today was never oongiegated. Confetti battles , are on at every orossing, and the air is alive with the noise of popping torpe does, canes, horns, balloon whistles and all those noise-making novelties that are indispensable for a carnival. The weather predictions are for fair weather tomorrow, and it is probable that the orowds will be much larger, and the fun much faster and more futi- ous if old Sol will only come out and smile on the merry occasion. Everybody is well pleased with tc- '• day's opening -which is considered as ■ most 'encouraging, in view of the ex ceedingly inclement weather. The Crowds that are in the city today will go Away well pleased and they will come again-or send many others to enjoy a day or two at Albany’s great carnival. 1 v ’ c/a From WodnotKlay’ Hserald. The s.-conrl day of the Hay Day Fair and Elks’ Oaruivai lias Been in most respects a repetition of tho first. The weather as been clonrty, bnt not show ery os on the opening toy, and the crowd is no doubt smaller by several thousand than would be the case had there been plenty of sunshine. Still, the attendance from neighbor ing towns has been gratifyingly large, Incoming trains have bronght their hundreds, and the throng on the streets - has been as large as was yesterday’i larger, according to the estimates of many. The shows have been doing good business, and there is no complaint from the soores of vendors of canes, confetti and novelties. The crowd is good natured and liberal. Home-folks and visiters part with their nickels, dimes t.nd quartuts freely, and "there GBEAT IS THE CROWD; GREAT THE CARNIVAL Streets Continue to be Thronged, and All Things Are Exactly as We Would Have Thera. More About the Splendid Pa' rade of Yesterday Afternoon. THE COLT SHO V. There is a fine collection of Georgia raised colts in the oity today, entered for the prizes offered in connection with the agricultural exhibits. Some of these colts are from stables in Albany, bnt most of them come from farms in Dougherty aud other counties in this immediate seotiou. The showing they make is an unexpectedly creditable one, as all the oolta exhibited are beauties, Tho colts were congregated on Pine street, east of Washington, wlraro their good points were gone over by hundreds of admirers of horseflesh, and the board of judges. The finding of the latter will be published in tomorrow's Her ald. THE FLORAL PARADE. The floral parade, postponed from yes terdny on account of weather conditions, took place today. It moved from the meotiug p int, Jefferson street be tween Pine and Broad streets, at 12 -15 o’clock, having been unavoidably delayed three qnnrters of an hour. It moved over the appointed course: twice from Jefferson to Bioad, Broad to Washington, Washington to Pino, Pine to Jeffereon, and a dense throng of people lined the sides of the streets along the entire way. Many of the floats and decorated vehicle wero sur prisingly beautiful. Soveral were from farms in this section, and none were more admired than these. On nccnant of the lateness of the parade, wo arc unable'to give in today’s issue a description of all tho vehicles participating. This will appear in full tomorrw. together with the awards de cided upon by the judges. The parade was witnessed by a great throng of people, and was a decided sucooss. THE PRIZE WINNING FLOATS, Bofore going to press, the Herald was apprised of the finding of the judges on floats and decorated vehicles. The first prize of $25 was awarded to the Daughters of the Confederacy, and the second prize, 815, to Miss Jolla Bacon. From Thursday's Daily Herald. The third day of the oarnival Is as great aB either of tlra first two. The weather has been perfeot, and the orowds larger. Every show has been liberally patroufzod, and all the itener ant traders have roaped a harvest of dimes and nlckles In exchange for the scores of little novelties whioh people bay during street falls, and at no other time. Last night the streets wero thronged, and it was a good natnrea bnt busy crowd that filled Broad, Washington, Fine and Jaoksou. The noise of the cnrnivul was in the air. Spielers Bpleled through their enormons magaphones, bauds playod incessantly, tin horns sounded and tlra reperts of explosive noise makers were heard everywhere, while the discordant nolsas of a hun dred other instruments greeted the ear. Everybody had a hand in the fan, and everybody enjoyed It. The show- mon's faces were wreathed In smiles, for not sluoe coming into the southeast had they received snoh liberal patron age. Confetti filled the air. The little paper particles flew into open monthB inoessuntly, bnt nobody complained and everybody langhed. Today the orowds have been all that Ounld be desired, and everything has moved smoothly. Everything is going in full blast, and showmen say they would like to remain in Albany a month. / yesterday’s parade. On account of the delay in starting the parade yesterday afternoon, the Herald was unable to give as complete an acoonnt of that feature of the second day of the oarnival as we would have presented under other circumstances. A more detailed report of that splendid pageant was promised today. Ae was announced in yesterday's Her ald, the first prize of $25 whs awarded to Dougherty oounty ohaptor Daughters ofjthe Confederacy, and the seoond prize of $15;to Miss Jnlia Bacon. The Daughters of the Confederacy float was a beantifnl creation in white. It was a faithfnl representation of the Winnie Davis monument in Richmond, Mrs. H. A. Tarver representing the figure on. tho central pedestal. Tho other figures were represented by Mrs. Jno. J. Armstrong, Misses Myra Hils- man, Pearl Forrester and Dollio Mayo. The design of the monument was faith fully carried out, and the float called forth loud applause from time to time as it passed through the streets. Tho float on whioh Queen Agnes I appearod with her maids and pages was a magnificent affair. Arches rose from either corner and spanned the platfrom irom end to end, meeting directly over the center. The whole was draped with rare taste in pnre white, and in the conter sat the qneen on an nnosten- tious throne, slightly elevated. Her maids of honor, Misses Estelle Ventnlette, Ella Rnst Vason, Annie Hobbs and Mary deConroey Hobbs, wore seated at the corners of the float, facing the qneen, whoso pages, Master Kenneth Hodges aud Randolph Whitehead, sat together at her Majesty’s feet. Tlfe queen’s outriders were Messrs. H. J. Decker, Jr., Carl Weston, I. H. Weiss and I. J. Hofmayer. The costumes worn by the qneen and her maids of honor were beantifnl, bnt we have space here to describe only that worn by her Majesty. It was of finest white Lonislne satin, with fnll court train. The collar was bound with rose point lace, and the bodice was beauti fully trimmed in the same lace tnd seed pearls. The waist.was enoiroled bya jeweled girdle, and the front width |of this regal, gown was elaborately embroidered with seed pearls, Aronnd the bottom of tho skirt was a fall raobe of white monssellne, dotted with white velvet roses. On her head rested the superb diamond crown of the B. P. Oi Elks. The scepter of white Batin with peal handle was capped wi(h an elk’s head set with jewels, while tho satin bow near its middle was held in plaoo by two handsome jeweled oabaohons, Altogether, tlra oostnme was a beantifnl oouoelt, and Qneen Agnes never looked lovelier than on this ansploioas oooaslon. And no qneen was ever greeted by more graolous to more loyal Bnbjeots. Miss Bacon drove a pair of beantifnl white horses to a snrrey (without can opy) whioh was almost hidden by beautiful crimson poppies. The harness and trappings were white, and the gen eral effeot was oharming. Unbounded admiration for this trap was expressed all along tho line of maroh. With Miss Bacon rode her sister, Mrs. Edwin Shef field, of Amerions, Miss Shropshire, of Atlanta, and Miss Daniel, of Macon. Mrs. Morris Weslosky’s trap was ploked for a winner by many. It was em bowered in forget-me-nots of a delicate shad? of bine, and was draped with rare taste. With Mrs. Woslosky rode Miss Freddie Farkus, Mrs. James Hoggard and Miss Josie Beall Jones. Another beantifnl tnrnont was that over which wisteria was spread in pro fusion. The genoral effeot of this trap was exoellent, the pnrple embowered vehicle being drawn by a pair of spir ited black horses. The young ladies in this turnout were the Misses Joseph, of Columbus, Miss Williams, of Macon, and Miss Sheppard, of Oolnmbns The Crystal Maze trap was a oharm ing design in white and pnrple—a pretty little lady in a pretty little trap drawn by a pair of pretty little ponies— in all, a pretty telling rig. Mr. W. E. Smith and Miss Abble Davis rode In a locomobile profusely decorated In yellow. This came In for a good share of the applanse. Of the agricultural floats, those from the farms of Messrs. John W. Forrester and A P. Vason were most elaborate aud attraoted most of the attention be stowed upon vehloles of this class. On both ot these floats, all the prodnota of the farms from whioh they came were represented, and the variety exhibited was traly astonishing, even to those who live in tills seotion and know some thing of the wonders of our diversi fied agrioultnre. The Herald heard one well known citizen of Mitchell county remark that If one of those floats coaid be pat on exhibition in Madison Square Garden, New York, just as it passed through tl(o streets of Albany, it would bring 10,000 farmers to sonth- west Georgia ill six months. Mr. For rester's display of farm prodnots was made on a float, and he was awarded the prizo of $100 for the best display of agricultural products from one furm. Thoro wero attractive floa’s also from the farms of Messrs. J. M. Tift und T. M. Tioknor. Mr. Vason’s farm float was truly a thing of boanty, and was greeted with applause wherever it appeared. Excel lent taste was displayed in its arrange ment, bat tho variety of prodnots it dis played was oot as great as that on the Forrester float. “The King’s Automobile” kept tho crowd roaring nlong the entire course of the parade. It had in lvi seen to be ap preciated. B. F. Smith s bicycle parade was a very creditable feature. Albany lodge, No. 713, B. P. O. Elks, followed immediately after the band. The Elks all carried parasols and wore capBand sashes of white and pnrple, the colors of the order. All along the route they fired confetti bombs and threw serpentines into the crowd, and added a great deal to the success of the parade.

Muok, who made the bal loon asoenslon and paraclrato leap yes terday afternoon at 4 o'olook was the victim of a painful oooldent. At 4 o'olock in tho afternoon the great inflated balloou was released from its moorings on tho old jail lot, and It rose rapidly to a great height, the murky condition of tho atmosphero rendering it difllonlt to see as It soured southward. When the balloon carrying Prof. Mack in his paraohnto below It had risen sev eral thousand foot above tho earth, Prof. Maok oat loose and started on his para- ohute leap to tho ground. The para- olinte shot down llko a flash for sovernl hundred feet, and tbon openod and sailed moro slowly on its downward coarse. As the paraohnto neared the ground, Prof. Maok saw that he was about to land on a pioket fonoe in a yard in the southern part of tho oity. He began rooking his paraohnto to ohango its oonrse bo as to avoid striking the fenoe. He missed the fenoe, bnt fell against a wire olothea line whioh had escaped his notice, and whioh oansed him to fall with snoh foroe to the ground that his ankle waa broken. The broken member was dressed by Dr. A. H, Hilsmau, and the injured man it resting as well as conld be ex pected today. Brof.

This afternoon two parachute leaps will be made from the same balloon, toa.irrow three and the next day four.
