In this week of festive events, when the metropolis of a great domain Is parading and displaying the symbols of Its wond rous wealth and beauty, it was thought the heights of magnlnclence had been at tained In the floral pageants and displays of the early week. But the fullest ex pression of Portland's splendor came with the horae and vehicle procession of yes terday afternoon; the full wealth of the Oregon domain was told In dazzling al legory by the illuminated pageant of last night. Such regal splendor has never before been assembled into a single day In Port land, possibly In no other of the favored points of the earth. Such Immense as eemblages have never before been seen on the streets of the city. Record Crowds at Xight. V hile the decorated horse and vehicle procession must take its place as the bright particular event in this week of big things, the Imposing and spectacular night parade will long be recalled as the occasion of Portland's largest and most enthusiastic crowds. It's hard to say how many people were abroad last night. They were massed long miles of streets. Surely the number can't be far from 200.000. Not only was the whole city abroad, young and old. but the suburban points were depopulated and the cities within traveling distance were decimated. Necessarily smaller in dimensions were the throngs of the after noon, for the business of the city could not be stoppod altogether and thousands of workmen had to remain at their posts However, it is conservatively estimated that no fewer than 125.000 saw the superb line. Line Perfect In Detail. It was the consummation of the effort to express Portland's floral beauty and gay spirit. The line was perfect in Its every appointment. Roses In hundreds of thousands and of every tint, were utilized In the panorama of exquisite floral de signs. Spirited horses, decked in gar. landed harness and drawing vehicle re- wrought In roses, superb horsemen and horse women, gaily clad, sumptuous floats surfaced in flowers, stirring bands, sepa raiea py juuit-ious intervals, and a score of attractive special features were as sembled in a compact line that extended over three miles of streets. in tis orgauizauon. me column was perfect. There was no confusion and no delay. A grap of detail was apparent which may be taken as a lasting tribute to those who planned and directed th column. When 2 o'clock came, Henry I, Plttock. frrand marshal, gave rein to his blooded mount and the line was off. It is a remarkable thing in Itself that there were no stragglers. Cheered All Along llonte. Spontaneous enthusiasm marked the ap pearance of the line and the cheering never waned while the column was pass ing over tne nve miles or its course, A squad of mounted police forced narrow channel for the procession. This channel was broadened by a platoon of police, behind which rode Clrand Mar shal Plttock. who was roundly applauded all along the route. One hundred policemen,' in dress uni form, and formed In three battalions, headed by the police band, followed the grand marshal and hts aides. The police were In command of Stnlor Captain John P. Moore. Girls in Flower Drills. Thereafter the regal column unwound (Concluded on Page 13.) Taxed All Who Entered, Including the Owner Festival May Get the Coin. Vantage points from which to review last night's Rose Festival street parade were sought eagerly. It was due perhaps to this general demand for desirable v'.ew points which attracted the attention of C. K. Henry to the fact that the windows of each of the five floors of his uncompleted office building at Fourth and Oak streets were filled with interested spectators. Concerned as to the safety of the building from the possible careless depositing of discarded cigarettes or cigars, and at the same time wondering how so many tress passers had gained access to the building, Mr. Henry concluded to investigate. Approaching the entrance, he found at the door one of the boss ' lathers, em ployed In the construction of the build- ng, who Insisted on an admission charge. To this Mr. Henry demurred and, upon disclosing hts identity, was permitted to pass the gauntlet. Commingling with those who had been granted access to the building, the owner of the building learned that the interested spectators had been required to pay from 10 cents to CO cents to gain admission to view the demonstration. This was a surprise to Mr. . Henry, who will today advise the enterprising lather that unless he Immediately turns over to the management of the Rose Festival Association every cent he col lected last night at the expense of the owner of the building, he may at once become equally industrious in seeking employment elsewhere.
