Other Ak-Sar-Ben festivities, in cluding the two big parades, were postponed indefinitely by the board of governors yesterday afternoon, following a meeting in the Chamber of Commerce, at which General Wood recommended strongly that these big annual events be cancelled because of the danger of another outbreak of the riots which wrought destruction in Omaha Sunday night. The electrical parade, scheduled for Wednesday night and the auto mobile floral parade, scheduled for Thursday afternoon are cancelled. - Months of preparation of the elab orate floats for the electrical parade and many weeks of preparation for the floral parade with experts here frnm Chicago and elsewhere are rendered useless by this action.

President Wilson, whose illness took a turn for the better Monday, continues to improve under the rest cure pre scribed by his physician. After the first good night's rest he has had since he was taken ill, the president was up most of the day and was permitted by Dr. Gray son to give his attention for a short time to pressing executive matters. He signed several minor bills and resolutions, sent some nominations to the senate and dictated a few letters. During the afternoon he took an other automobile ride and seemed to enjoy it thoroughly. Accom panied by Mrs. Wilson and his daughter. Miss Margaret, he was away from the White House nearly two hours, driving tar out into the country. At 2 p. m. tomorrow one of the four umpires at Redland will wave his hand, the Cincinnati Reds will take their playing positions, Liebold or J. Collins of the Chicago White Sox will enter the batter's box and the first of the great contests for base ball's richest prize and highest honors 'will begin. Nothing but weather of the most unfavorable kind will delay the start and when play starts the greatest throng that ever saw a ball game in Cincinnati will be assembled. Every seat at the park has been sold for the first two games and all reserved seats for the first three games have been purchased. Redland Groans. Cincinnati hotels 'groaited today under the weight of base ball en thusiasm. They were the caldron in which diamond discussion from the four corners of the country seethed. Above the din created by the clamor for rooms and accom modations, more highly pitched than the eternal alibi of the man who failed to write for tickets in advance, rose the voice of King Basa Ball. The majority of the guests who registered at the principal hotels were prepared for inconveniences) and they were actually surprised when they found how thoroughly plans. True, in some instances IS men will find it necessary to sleep in one room, but they will be in comiortaDie single beds. Some may have to sleep behind screens in re ception rooms and halls, but their beds will be but a step from a lux urious shower. Senator-Warren G. Harding of Ulno was one of the more fortunate and has the entire bridal suite at one of the leading ..hotels. Barney Old- held,, the noted automobile racer, and some of his party will occupy, while Presidents Herrmann and Comiskey both have engaged suites where they can receive their friends. Even the extremely unfortunate who can find no accommodations will have police protection when they resort to the park benches, if such a thing becomes necessary.
