Nevada's 1950 celebration of its 86th year of i statehood is over and residents of the capital city are counting up its mixed blessings.

The event was well-attended, with the Nevada highway patrol estimating the crowd at 21,056. The patrol placed special counters on highwyas leading to and from Carson. They counted 4202 cars above the normal traffic flow and figured 32 persons to each car. This total. added to the population of Carson and Stewart gave the figure quoted in the foregoing.

LONG PARADE One of the longest parades in the history of the celebration took more than an hour and a half to proceed down Carson street which was i lined on both sides for ten blocks with onlookers. The special Ne- i vada day pageant, written by Charles Clegg and Lucius Beebe, drew enthusiastic and capacity au- diences for its run which ended Tuesday evening. Dedication of the partially completed state office building was held after the parade, with ceremonies in charge of Chester L. Cochran, grand master of the Ne- of the order assisting. Also on dis- play was a $50,000 model mine exhibit in the state museum.

A ceramics and art show drew more than 1000 spectators and the 1861 dance, which wound up the celebration, drew a large attendance in the civic auditorium. FOURTEEN BANDS Spectators were especially enthusiastic about the parade, which drew 14 high school bands, drill teams from many high schools and other organizations, scores of well-planned floats and entries from many civic and fraternal groups, high schools, business houses and other organizations. The military also was well represented by various ROTC units, the Nevada national guard, air national guard and various reserve and veterans' groups. On the debit side of the ledger, Chief of Police Howard Hoffman reported this morning that he had on hand 38 overly-enthusiastic celebrants, believed a record attendance in the Ormsby county jail. Special police complements were on hand to handle more than 200 calls which were funneled into a special communications system set up in the county court house and dispatched from there to 10 highway patrol cars, four motorcycle policemen from Reno, six special city police cars and three special sheriff's deputies.

Sheriff Lester Smith of Ormsby county assisted Chief Hoffman in handling the huge amount of business. YOUTH IN FIGHT Chief Hoffman reported that the major work load consisted of cart- ing away intoxicated persons and breaking up fights. The most important fight, which neared riot proportions at one time, involved a group of youths from Reno and Sparks, the chief reported. This fight first, started on the east side of the city after the parade and was broken up quickly by the squads of police. The fighting flared again at the Reno-Carson football game between the same two groups.

It ended with the taking into custody of two Reno youths who Chief Hoffman said probably will face charges. A spring-action knife with a 12-inch blade was taken from one of the youths. Only one serious automobile accident was reported during the celebration. Four persons were hurt in this accident, details of which are to be found in a separate story. The Reno high school football team had a successful day, winning its traditional grid game from the Carson Senators, 38-2.

The game is described in detail in today's sports section.

S. circuit court of appeals in San Francisco. He was reelected to the office in 1946, defeating William Mathews, special assistant attorney general. Mr. Horsey was born in 1880 in Laurel, and spent most of his early life in Philadelphia, here his family moved 'when he was five years old.

When he was 19, Mr. Horsey became a teacher in a small country school near the Black Hills in northeastern Wyoming and the following year, he returned to the east to take a job as sales agent for a business firm. In 1901 he entered the University of Virginia law school and was admitted to the Virginia bar in 1903, one year before his graduation. Following graduation, Mr. Horsey returned to the west and opened law offices in Spokane, but he remained there only a short time before moving to Pioche in Lincoln county, which then embraced all of southeastern Nevada.

He was appointed county district attorney Lincoln in 1906 and also served as ex-office su perintendent of schools. He held these posts until 1909. In 1911 Mr. Horsey and a group of friends incorporated the Virginia Louise Mining which produced 000 tons of ore bearing lead, zinc and silver in 10 years. He was elected state senator from Lincoln county in 1913 and served as chairman of the judiciary committee, being the only attorney in the senate that session.

Mr. Horsey was elected judge of the 10th judicial district embracing both Clark and Lincoln counties in 1915 and declined to seek re-election in 1918 in order to manage the Virginia Louise holdings. He opened law offices in Las Vegas in 1922 and was elected to the state senate in 1939. He received the appointment as district judge in 1945, serving on the bench of the eighth judicial district, until his appointment to the supreme court. In 1928, Mr.

Horsey was the Democratic nominee for represen-. tative in congress. He is now chief justice by seniority in the Nevada court. Six injured In Carson Wreck I Six persons received injuries In a minor mishap on Carson st. Tuesday, according to Carson police.

Carso npolice said that a vehicle driven by William Lewis. 30. was attempting a U-turn at North Carson and Adams when the machine and a vehicle driven by a girl identified as Colleen Brown, a University of Nevada student, collided.

While the number of divorce suits apparently will drop to a new postwar low this year, the 1950 marriage trade is almost certain to top that of 1949. The sale of 2045 licenses to altar-bound couples during October brought the total for the year to date to 18,658. On the same date in 1949, the figure was 17,482.

The 1949 total was 20,855, the lowest since 1946, when Reno's all-time record of 28.790 marriages was established. At the end of 10 months in that year, 24,244 licenses had been sold. How much effect the Korean war has had on the marriage trade here is difficult to determine. Though the number of license sales increased sharply in July, August and September following the outbreak of hostilities in Korea long-time records show those months customarily lead the altar parade. The total for each of the last four months, however, has topped the figure for the same months in 1949.

Totals so far this year: January, 1135; February, 1317; March, 1395; April, 1787; May, 1681; June. 1925; July, 2489; August, 2279; September, 2605, and October 2045.
