THRONGS CHEER
REUNION QUEEN
Brilliant Pageant Through Ma
con’s Streets Is Followed by
Coronation.
MACON, GA., May 9.—The most
spectacular display of beauty and wom
anly charm in the history of reunions of
Southern veterans was the coronation
of the queen of the reunion yesterday
afternoon. Fully 40,000 persons thronged
every viewpoint of Coleman's Hill to
obtain a glimpse of the crowning of
Miss Mary Scandrett, the charming
Macon girl selected to he queen in a
popularity contest conducted by the
Sons of Veterans, with the approbation
of the United Confederate Veterans and
the reunion committee.
For twelve blocks the queen's pro
cession moved to th£ eminence where
she, with regal dignity, ascended the
throne, while thousands cheered, waved
hats, bands played and salutes were
fired.
The parade started at the city hall,
and in line were the Macon drum and
bugle corps, the Macon police depart
ment, the Georgia veterans, the entire
Second Georgia National Guard regi
ment,. the Thomas Hardeman camp of
Sons of Veterans, the band of Saline.
Texas, the officers of the I . C. V. in
carriages and the magnificent float
bearing the queen and her attractive
maids.
On the stage on Coleman's Hill near
ly 200 sponsors and maids of the re
union had gathered to greet the queen
and her retinue, and as these ascended
t he steps the mighty throng looked on
approvingly and the air resounded with
their enthusiastic shouts. Housetops in
the vicinity were crowded, and the
small boys even occupied every avail
able tree.
With an appropriate speech, Colonel
Walter A. Harris, chairman of the gen
eral reunion committee, placed tfie
crown on the queen’s beautiful head
of auburn hair. Mayor John T. Moore
then presented her with an immense
golden key of the city, General C. Ir
vine Walker presented her with a dia
mond ring, the gift of the Sons of Vet
erans, and Mrs. W. D. Lamar pinned on
a diamond brooch, a token from the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Several of the largest moving picture
companies of the country had agents
here to secure films of the entire affair,
and for a half hour after the exercises
were concluded the queen and her
maids graciously posed for the pho
tographers. To carry out the effect, the
enormous audience even responded to a
request to be enthusiastic, and once
again hats were thrown in air and
handkerchiefs waved.
General Walker declared the coro
nation was the most beautiful and pic
turesque event he ever witnessed.
