While at each recurring festival there
has been several grand parades, there has
always been at leant one that wan dis
tinctively a Knights of Ak-Sar-Hen parade,
preocntlrig the theme of the festival. The
detail of preparation of all the others Is
given more or less ndnnco publicity, but
the themo and composition of the distinc
tive parade have always remained, up to
this year, a profound secret until It should
burst In all Us magnificence upon tho
public Raze. This year tho board of gov
ernors derided to apprise the public In
advance of tho character of the parade and
tho theme upon which It Is modeled, unit
that information appears elsewhere In the
ofilrlnl souvenir publication.
Tho first demonstration of tho Knights
of Ak-Sar-llen was given September 16,
1803, being a bicycle parade In the evening,
In which several hundred wheelmm partici
pated, many of them In character costumo
and presenting floats and designs carried
upon their wheels. Tho following night
occurred the parade of county representa
tive floats, In which flage, Cuming, Kearney,
Merrick and Douglas counties competed
with splendid llonts. first honors being
warded to fuming and second to Mer
rick. Along with the lloats marched repre
sentatives of many fraternities, nnd a fea
ture of the parade was the Initiation float,
upon which were enacted In dumb show
with fiery environment tho secret work
practiced upon candidates for Ak-Hur-Ilen's
favor.
On tho third evening was given a monster
parado of military, civic nnd frntcrnal or
ganizations nnd tho concluding parado was
the odlilal coming of Ak-Snr-Ueu, with tho
allegorical demonstration of the feast of
Mondamlo. comprising tweuty-ono lloats of
marvelous splendor.
(initial Court Ilnll.
Immediately following this parade oc
curred tho grand court ball nt tho castle
of Ak-Sar-llen, n preliminary feature of
which was tho coronntlon of the queen. It
has alwnys been customary to withhold
from the- public knowledge tho Identity
of tho king nnd queen until It Is rovenled
at the coronation ceremonies nnd this cus
tom Is likely to be continued. At tho
Initial corouutlon ball K. M. Hartlctt of
ficiated as king and MIsb .Mellora Wool
worth whh tho lady honored that year with
tho crown consort.

Tho beautiful coronation ceremonies have
been but slightly modified since tho Inltlnl
presentation, but never slnco that first
year lias the ball been held In tho same
evening following tho parade. Its success

It to an evening of Its own nnd It has ever
since been tho concluding und masterpiece,
of tho festival ceremonies.
"1'Vimt of O I ' in pi ii."

the "Feast of Olympia," the distinguish
ing parado being based on tho Greek
mythology. There wero threo parades that
fall, tho military, civic ami fraternal, Sep
tember 1; county lloats untl Industrial dis
plays, September 2, and tho Olympian pa
rade, September 3, the latter comprising

A theme for the lSftT festivities was sug
gested by George F. West. It was denom
inated "The Feast of Qulvera," anil Its pur
pose was an Illustration of Nebraska's primal
history and the achievements aud resources
of the htate. Three parades were given that
your, the first being the civic nnd military,
September 21, followed by "Sampson's Mc
Knnlkal Parade," September 22, and the
grand pageant of Qulvern. given September
23. In tho pageantry of that year the ef
ficacy of electricity In bringing out the color
effects and augmenting the splendors of the
floats was tried with a measure of success
that has revolutionized the methods em
ployed In street spectacles.
The grand bnll occurred the evening of
September 21 with B. P. Peck as maBtcr of
ceremonies. He also presented the royal
Impersonation of Ak-Snr-Ilen, while Miss

GORGEOUS ROYAL COSTUMES
ItoticN of the Klnc mill Quern Will
Hi- llie Very rine of
MhkiiI Hit hit.
The pegs In the royal wardrobes of
Oulvera are heavy laden with velvets and
brocades. The shade nnd substance of tho
coronation robes havo not yet been pub
lished In the court calendar, but when uu
incautious lady-ln-wnltlng slides back the
door tho beholder sees u dazzling array of
purple nnd tine linen, frills nnd furbelows.
Tho finery was Imported by tho royal mercer
nnd done Into wondrous garments by the
tirewomen of the court. Tho trousseau Is
complete nnd Includes fitting gnrb for the
king and his royal consort, tho nobles of
the court nnd nil the glittering train, down
oven to the humblest page.
The king's coronation robes will far sur
pass in splendor that, of any monarch who
has gnno before. For threo years the
ascending heir to the throne has worn a
deep rich shade of red. relieved by black
The sixth AU-Sar-Ilon, however, will show
himself in vestments of royal purple. An
an pla cloak cut in the style of tho sixteenth
century falls In folds to his feet, its hue a
deep purplo embellished with daintily em-
btoldored fleur-de-lis and a wide border of
fanciful design at the bottom. Tho somber
shado of the cloak Is set oft by tho rich gold
of the robe Itself, which renches to the tips
of the white silk shoes.
Tho brow of tho monarch will be pressed
by a golden crown which hns gathered dust
In its oaken chest for a twelvemonth, It
being far too precious a treasure for use
oxcept upon occasions of tho highest state
Tho king will guard his throat from tho
innip September air with a white fur
collar.
As to the vestments of her majesty, tho
queen-elect, the scissors nnd needles of
skilled attendants nro oven now busy In
tier apartments, where no intruder may
enter. Messengers hnve been sent to looms
in distant lands nnd dealers In precious
stones have been called In consultation, but
no one knows ns yet what Is passing on tho
other side of tho tapestry which marks tho
queen'B domain. The court gossips hnve no
hint of either shade or texture of tho
coronation robe.
It will be a gayly caparisoned throng of
court followers which will rldo behind tho
royal equipage In tho triumphal entry.
Tho richness und variety of the suitings
will reflect the bounteous prosperity which
now blesses tho broad realm of Qulvera.
Hed, green, cerise and bluo will sot off
the white of satiu and the blue-black of
velvet, making up a medley of colors
which will still be lively and pleasing In
the ensemble.
Tho ambassadors and attaches of for
eign courts will also make a noblo show.
Those present from Oriental realms will
flaunt dragons nnd pencocks and other
atrango emblems woven In bright colors
In their state apparel. The governors of
the Spnnlsh colonies will appear In pink
und purple, with full sleeves and hats nnd
flowing plumes. Their bows, with hanging
points, recall the days of Charles V.
