" Not content with flooding the side walks -and curbing and draping them selves from every other van tape point. people surged into tne cross streets a block deep and hopelessly craned their necks for a glimpse of the glittering oeauty or tne great pageant. It FLOATS IJT I.I7CE The parade consisted of 15 brightly Illuminated floats, representing different phases of Shrinedom, accompanied by 10 fchrtne bands. Mayor Georafe Baker. following closely the police squadron, led as grand marshal. Al Kader band and po-trol followed. : Imperial Potentate W. Freeland Kendrick rode in a daisy and fern decorated car over which waS sus pended '"Liberty Bell," symbolical of Philadelphia, Kendrick's town. . In the same car was w J, Ilofmann, general cnairman of tne Shrine convention Pendleton Indians, clad in gala attire, manned the float, "Portland Greets Mystic Shrine.' Then came two Roman chariots drown by prancing steeds. "Hit. ting the Hot Sands for Mecca," showed a life-si se camel indesert surroundings. All the floats were typical" of the Orient Even in the "Shrine ; of the Rose," were the emblems of the Shrine mingled with the flowers of Portland. OBCOBATIOK8 AKE RICH " "Temples of the Nile," was richly dec orated , with Egyptian t architecture, and i the "Mystic Bond of Friendship." was profuse In poppies and lotus blossoms. "The Oasis of the Pacific" was replete In a swan-drawn shell vehicle, and rep resentations of , fish and other, symbols of the --coast...-. r-..-. ... Then there was the "Arabian Knight" with -his trusty, sword. "The Garden of Allah" with its strange birds. And "Ilbes Kosh fnd the Dancing Girls." "Ala ' Bitba" was there with his spears. One v of the most beautiful floats was that of the "Daughter of the Nile" on which was a huge tiger lily. This was followed by "Guardians of . the Jungle," on which two immense tigers were driven by girls. "The Star of the East" was followed by "Aladdin's Dream of Paradise,", with a throne and numer-1 ous attendants, wmie f ftfe' III ' rsPu. '.'.-'i'f III . , -I J -i, .
