WHERE ROYALTY REIGNS. i That enersetlo end public-spirited organization of young men, known as tho Satellites or Mercury, Is mal lug preparations for a pageant besido which all pru-Tious ones will pate. The work ha burn going on tor some time, and baa pro-grctMl so far ttuit a crew1 of artita and dtnrncra.

who liave been under contract for weeks, have nmily oumplotod ho construction of several Coat, and aro pusdilng mutters oa as fast as they poasi-bly caa to insure substantial and artistla eoiiiitruction of the various dcal ns. What tkeso de-Jgns are and jt eubjoct they are Intended to illustrate can not be made known at present, as tlda is a secret 13ch must be kept safely locked in tho lreasts of the. initiated until, on tho appointed niht, the grout door of the Don" are thrown open and tlie gorgeously ell array of Satellites, Dukes, sally forth with music, torches, glittering pomp and stately floats, to asionwh and delight the multitude. Thomjjt this work of preparation has Leen going on, as a natter of facts ever since tho last pageant there are tho fewest people possibly confined to tho membership who bur any real idea of what must be dono to insure a fine representation of any subject In view of the fact (Tint the time is fast approaching for the annual pageant, and tluit the people miry form some idea of tho immense amount of trouble and expense involved, at well as to show bow much credit is 'due to tho Satellites a Courier-Journal repevter Uas gatliered some facts, which, are here presented. The Den," situated on Sixth and II111 streets, is a building constructed for the ex prom purpose of preparing the costumes, floats, for the pageants, and to provide a meeting place for the members when meetings are necessary.

It is built of iron, is ninety ftet id width. 200 feet long, and the ceiling is thirty feet clear. The interior is divided int. vatious rooms for meetings, cos-tuniers, papier-mache makers, and there ar several large property rooms where every description of war-like instruments, Hags, banners spears and other article lued in producing effects may le seen. Hie first room on tho Wt.

as you en tor the buiUliug. is reserved for the meetings of the member, and is a gorgeously Cec orated apartinent. 85x50 foet, with elaborate decorations and (irnamuntt, trophies from past exhibitions. In this room the new member are initiated and the various meetings of the organization are Jield from time to time. The central figure is a magnificent bronze statuo of Mercury, life size, and there are many elaborate designs scattered about tho To the right, on the ground floor, is another large room for properties, and this 14 literally filled with banners, pears, musical Instruments, and, lrt icU alinofct every kind and description of property.

Neptune's trident, the caduceus of Mercury, the scepter of Jupiter and thunders of Jove are lying around promiscuously, and on one side of the room there are many large cases filled with Jewels for decorative puiv poses. On this floor 1 the laboratory, and every convenience for tho use o( members. i Up stairs, the main room is the ward, robe, where the costumes worn by member are carefully packed away in boxes waiting for the members to be fitted for the pageant. ILe costumes, are made in lsrh, are very elaborate and costly and apparently too much so for a single night's entertainment, but it appears that they are readily salable, after the Satellites aro through with them, co stumers from other cities eagerly purchasing tliera for the us of tlieatrkal organizations. There aro OTcr 3(M costumes in the boxes and meny extra ones in conveniently sr-rauged clcseta.

i A small room, known a the shoe room," contains several hundreds of pairs of shoes of all na-tbonalitie, and. rvery ago is among tho curiosities of this part of the building. Another closet oonlttins the king's anil eu's jsrwvlK, wiaf. m-ski, Tbeerdtl KTVd an endless quantity and variety of paraphernalia for tlte adornment of the members. Another room.

is devoted to fitting, and hero jhe members repair from time to time 3N I. hr TBS during the summer months. The eoe-tumes are tried on and rnrefully fitted to tiieir persons and every part goes to make up detail of tlie character assuntod is stored away in the member's box snout tlie Tlien tln-ro is a sewing room, where the hor covers and dominoes for tho light-bearers are cut and mnde, and the room of the ens-todian -of tlie buildimr in also on this floor. Along tlie wall of the nialn building a gallery extends, which Is piled -9 INTERIOR Or up with every description of figure of roan and beast, and creeping things and fowls of tbe air, and nsliee of tlie great deep a perfect Noah's ark all of whicU are made of that wonderful -material, papier roache. Fiiither up lu the building are lofts containing great bins of flowers and bright coloicd mster.al for decorating the Hosts.

The building room, the main room in the immense strueture, is 17 feet long by WO feet wide, and the immense cirs ou which the floats aw buiit are raigod In two rows down tho length of tho building, the wheels fitted Into grooves to enable them to lie moved, cut without risk of damage. The building is ovned by the orga citation, and was built for the purpose, as there is no other buildinjr in tlie city so arranged ihnt Hie work could be consummated, or with doois largo enough for the Immense Moats to obtain egress. In mediately after the production of the pageant, which usually happens about October 1, the members sre all called upon to signify their intentions in regard to tfi next yetir's display. As soon ss a sufficient number have acquiesced, and before the members have really entirely recovered from their late exertions, the wk for the next pageant is commenced. Tlie Chief Satellite, with the menfcers of tbe Executive Council, selects the subject, and this is a matter requiring much more thought and reneuroU than is usually conceived.

There have been given in this country no less than seventy pageants, representing various subjects of snrient and modern historical and mythological or romantic events, and it is not considered expedient to sdopt a subject alieady presented. Therefore, something original nvst be thought of, and it must be popular, attractive and practicable. There are many beautiful stories in which apparently appear ample material for these pagianta, but when it comes to selecting eighteen or twenty scenes without representations it becomes a matter cf botip moment, and much care is devoted to thif part of the work. The subject decided on. the next thin? is to secure sketches of the various tableaux or float.

This done Ly soino ne familiar with that class of work, and is at first a mere rough pencil sketch giving tlie general character of the work. These are discussed and criticised, and after various modifications are submit-ted to the designer, who makes an, elaborate water color picture of each float as it will appear in tlie pageant, showing tlie location of each character and all tho details. This requires several moniiu, auu in vue meantime corrcspunu- ft 3 enco of the Chief Satellite begins with all the various bull Jots, decorators, artists, who are to be employed on the work. The costume plates are then secured, showing in elaborate water-colors the exact representation of each character as it will appear on the float, the measurements of the members are taken, and the costumes ordered about February. Each costume is made to conform exactly to tho subject and to suit the member who is to take part, and.

leaving- the costumes in tbe hands of tlie makers for the time being, the management commences to close contracts for preparing the parade, and by tlie 1st of April all eontraete having been made, the Den" is turned over to th euntroctors and the work begun. The old floats are dismantled, and after rewrvlng such of the figures and carefully worked flowers, decorations, as are In condition to be used again in some future para do, or to be sold to other cities, the cars are finally denuded until nothing is left but tha wheels and plat- fnrm. le builder takes his first sketch, which Is drawn to scale, and begins tbe worK of constructing by placing in position heavy timbers composing tlie skeleton and adding to them tlie -various shapes and turves necesfary to bring about a resemblar.ee to tlie picture as it will le presented, all of which are secured by poles and in order to make it ss strung ss ptnible, as It must lo capable of holding together In its course over the rcugh streets and absolutely secure for its preeious freight, the. Satellites, who will risk their necks and limbs in THH "DES. their laudable efforts to amuse and Instruct the community.

The framework of trunks of trees curved out being secured' in their positions, and the various platfcrms or rests for the members to stand or recline upon being built, tlie next thing to the canvas COv rin? which is to fumhh the ground work for the' artists. ThU is nothing more than cotton tie, such as cues sre tainted on in theaters, and the whole lloat which is to represent rocks and trees, streams and foliage of every kind is completely covered, until tlie wh-'le mass moves up like an iceberg, or more particularly an Indiscriminate pile of loose cotton. Tbe artist now. mm- vobxuxa ron itxpikb uacbs wobk. takes hell nfiil first covers the entire float with a siring to hold the paint, after which he sketches out the various forms nd betrins to lay in the color very vnucli as in ordinary seeno painting.

This much accomplislied, the decorator comes along and att tha leaves to the trees and plants, filling in all of the li'tle nicks and crannh with brilliant flowers anl bright foli.ig., giving tli" whole a brilliant sppearance. To till further enhance the bxiihancy. of (he 175 Children's Wash Stilts, ages 4 to 14, in checks end plaids, for $1.00 100 Blue Brown Plaid Suits, plaited $1.25 100 Brown Plaid Suits, plaited $1.50 1 1 300 Gray and Brown Checks and Plaids, ten different styles, $2.00 150 Nobby patterns in Checks and Plaids, in light and i dark colors, $2.50 200 in Plaids, Hair lines and I Stripes, made like $5.00 I Suits $3.00 jE) pCjq Pain and Gflaritet picture, tha artist at art aver the whole with glue-p. nd sizes and touched every pcint that reqvires extra adornment, and is followed by boys who apply the gold and silver ami other metal toils ustd in bringing out tlie orToct. This work is usually reserved nntU tha last, as tlie metal tarnishes, and it is desirable to Lave ij as fresh possible.

The work of buif-inr, de.wutiug and painting go; on all tl.c suiniocr, and usually takes about twenty-five weeks. In the meantime, the costumes arrive and are carefully unpacked and placed in their respective boxes, and about July 1 tbe ntting begins, heveral experienced costumers sre required for this work, and all during, tlie summer months tlte mem bers are dropping in. two or thrrv every day, and trying on and being, ftited to their costumee, which aocornplihTied. tlie costnmes are plao.d. in the boxes, which are locked and tho keys secured to pre vent any possiDie misplacement, ana toe costumes are soea no more until the day of the psgeanU Arrangementa for the lights, auimals to draw the floats, men to lead them and others to carry the lights and banners, contracts with bands for tlie music, and all tlie various details being carried out, the property-makers are busily enraged preparing the various articles to be used.

A great many forms anl figures on the floats are made of papier machn. Which is an art in itself and very useful for this purpose, a description of which will not ly out of place here. The builder. Iie-forj commencing work on tho floats, will carefully study it and fix in his mind tb varions parts to bo eonstructed and form an idea of what effect can be produced br the various means at his disposal. If there are distinct figures, such ss animals, fish, mermaids, triior, dragons and tho like, he will at one make out a list and furnish it to tlie papier macho tinkers to he constructed In that material and to be placed on the floats in their respective positions after they are formed and painted.

Tlie pa-pirr mache maker begins by making a drawing of the object of the full size required, which Is accurately measured in all its particulars. hf ttcn secures a solid frame work te build on and piles bis clay in an immense mass on Lis frame until ho has sufficient worl: out tho subject in hand. If. for Instance, the figure is mermaid, he will begin by modeling In clav an elaborate figure, full rice of tlie drawing aa designed, and after thn model is complete, plaster e.tst is taken in the smo war that a sculptor proeeds make a statue in bronze or other model. Aa there are many curves and turns.

It is necessary, of course, to take a great many ensta or molds, ss each piece must be molded -separately auxl afterward Jjlned together. Having secured a sa Pi cleft number of molds to coaiprije sll tho parts of the figure they are pbteed In a large bin to dry, and when dried are carefully oiled on the inside to prevent the paper from sticking, and the real work of making the Pioer figures then begina A large pot of flour pate is provided and strips of paper submerged theiein until completely saturated. These are placed in planter molls and pressed into every groove and crevice, and when dried another layer is planed on top, and so on until six to ten layers of paper hive been applied to tlie mold. When dried these aro taken out and wilL bo found to conform to tlie various parts of the figure, and are fitted together and the whole covered with several mora layers of pasted paper, which is, in turn, dried, and the result is eopy in paper of the statue or figure dwured, which is sufficiently stiff and durable to stand the necessary coloring, and making a light, but substantial, representation of the character required. The clay is, of course, used ever and over ngtin, but thn plaster molds are of no farther use and are destroyed.

Not onlx are tlte figures of animals and human be-ins created in this way. but leaves and and warn and coats and ornaments of varicus kinds required in the construction, of floats nro brought out distinctly in this manner, as they could be in no other wsy. hen the flouts are all completed, and all "of the various rietfeils arrangedi which takes until within a day or two of thq date of tho pageant, tlie members are ail called together for instructions aa to their parts, and are furnished with full information concerning the coming event. After having been east for a part the member loses bis identity entirely, and is thereafter known by a number. This number is tho number of the character on the float he Las been east for, bnd it is a matter of ease for him to familiarize himself with the character, tile" position to be assumed, from tlie dceign of the float, which is placed near it in tlie "Den, and, therefore, no rehearsal is necessary, and only the general instructions and arrangenWita arei to turtnv bera, and this kst just before the pageant.

On the day Deforoie niht of the pageant tlie members are called to meet at the Den at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. They aro requested to approach the place in a quiet, inconspicuous manner, and, as they have to report iu full evening dress, they usually reach the Den" in carriage, whih are driven np to the entrance, and the members quickly emerge and reach the secrvt precincts of the place without lieing reoognszed or observed by tho few people likely to be in the neighborhood at that time. They are directed to their respective dressing rooms, tut aro told to take off their drone suits and place them in tlie box according to tlie numbers from which their costumes have been taken, and which are laid out ready These aro onlv a few of the items in the largo stock, which was never so full and fresh at this time of the yean Our Jersey Suits aro in all of the desirable colors, blue, black, tan, slate, cream, etc. Jei'sey Suits that will bo sold for $3.7 5 are worth Suits that will go for $4 are worth and our $5 Suits aro worth 7.50. It's a great chance to get tho boys an extra Sunday Suit.

for tliem to put on. It is said that the scenes on this occasion are long to be remembered, and afford the members ono of the miLt interesting features of the parade. The dreeeerv, who are rxperieneett con tumors, ami able to make up the characters to the best advantage assist tlie members in putting on their Costumes, and tlie afternoon is cot aumed in this way, each member repairing to tlie room of tha Chief Satellite and submitting So inspection, receiving the iln-isliinir. toucltes from tlie cos turners and securing such information and instructions aa may have escaped them before. At 6 o'clock a lunch is served of coffee and at :30 the shrill whistles cf tho Captains awaken Jthe echoes in tho Den.

The animals are brought In, hitched to the floats, their ciovers are si ranged, and. beginning with lloat Mo. 1, 1h of each may bo heard calling up his crew by tbelr numbers, and when all in ready and they have taken tiieir respective positions, the enormous doors of the buildinir are thrown open i aro formed In ine on sours convenient street, the bands plsad In position, the torca-irrer light tin and at a signal froui the Chief Satoiiito th proces. aai tnovea forward, hera Wed by a altwr of rockets und accompanied by inaftio from a dozen bands, on the cliwa rosto. Jupt here it is worth mentioning that the route is a very diilicult question to settle.

Of course everybody would like ro have the parade pass in 'front of their doors, and as it is im-possiblo to make the column more than three or four miles in longtli, it can readily bo seen that some ar always disappointed. Then, a rain, the streets having cars running on them have to be avoided, as the parade interferes greatly with strjt-cjr traffc and tho convenience of the street-car companies and publio is taken into consideratirrn by the Satellites. Then there are the wires of the Telephone Company and electric lights to be avoided, an 1 with all the precautionary measures taken, it always happens that some wire is Jound ia tb way, and to overrun this contingency a wagon is sent atiend of tlie procession with a pole the height of tlie floats and workmen to cut any stray wire or overhanging branch which wo a Id otherwise tenr the floats to pieces and destroy the chow. Tlie parade being ovor, the floats re-iiair to tlie Auditorium, where tho bull Is to be held, and tlie members of the organization dismount nod reach tlie! stage by the rear entrance, where ro-freahments are provided end after on hour's relaxation and readjustment of costumes the wliistle of tlie ciptnin culls them To'the stage for forming tableaux, and there they are for tlie first time Introduced to the Queen, who makca Iky appearance accompanied by her maids of honor. Tlie tableaux over, tlte dance begins, and after the first two or three sets, which are confined to the and their lady friends, a signal is given which permits the members to retire to their dressing rooms, where their boxes liave been taken in the 'meantime, and they get out of tiieir costumes into tiieir dress suits and ba-k to the stage, mixing with their friends and giving vsrlous explanation of their absence during the evening.

Ia a few moments every costume will have disappeared, and the remainder of the evening is given up to the arts of Terpsichore, and by 8 or 4 o'clock the hall is deserted and the pageant for that year is a thing of the past. 3 he floats are, of course, returned to the lien." where the men furnisldng the animaK torch-bearers, are poi-J off, and the "Den" is closxl, to be opened again only after another twelve montlia has gone by. Tbe number of men In a psteant of this kind amounts to about 8S0, 140 animals, twelve bands of music, and the whole expense la about S15.COO per an a in. This, at tlie first glance, appears to be somewhat large for so short! an entertainment, but. after alL it is comparatively cheap, and certainly worth, great deal more to the city than it costs.

iAn ordinary trado parade, comprising, ay 250 displays, at aa average cost of '8100 lor each, amounts to $25,000. and anany parades of this magnitude have ibeen given in at even a great er cost.

It such bo the case, I fcr thry havo been disappointed. For unlets I liad the brain of a Dickens, who, in his tale of two clticr, has tnede a most interesting novel, and with his 1 magi nation could make a picture out of anything, especially with two cities like London and to draw upon.

Thus far, have given a few leaves fioin my contemplated memoirs to tho public, foe which I claim no roorit. They seem, lowercr, to have been favorably received, ss they liave been republished soath and west, and tlie cry is for more, while the gieat Mogul of the Courier-Journal says go on. I like your Tetters, and they please the people." This Is very complimentary, and cuocgh to stimulate me for further action, but there must bo ati end to all rspfclally ia this extremely hot weather. And it is due to mo tliat I should now explicitly state, that in giving these me moirs to The public, I have no vain glory or any display of literature, and eating net lung for fame or money. In tvuth, I write to pleuso others and for tho tun of it, and I might say, devilment.

If thero is any advantages in these letters, my friend, the Mogul, has it, and if he has sucked tlie orange he has left me tho rind. But it Is barely possible, in after tiroes he may invite mo to his ranch" near Sapks on tho Gulf, to assist him in catching the great Tarpon, which, by the by. Is no new thing with me, and I dislike to deprive the Trio," my fiior.ds IlaMoeian, Ben Young and Clarke, of all their glory in hauling in these monsters of tlie deep (specimens which now adorn the clubs and Courler-Joutnal office), anl while one was nursing the venerable Courier, another amusing himself by rec resting tho St. Lawrence, to view those scenes so charming" in fhe T'w tngland States during the war, and another in his ktlts on- th hctlier of old bcotland, I was amusing myself catching thVse splondid Silver Fish" in Uic Gulf, near Ship Island, rendered famous by its being the anchorage of tho British, fleet, when tlicy undertook to capture Mew Orleans. The real iramo of these monsters of the finny tribe is "silver fish." The scales are as large as a silver doilar and as bright, and when ia danger they Jilunge and leap high into the air, presenting a flash of silver, indeed.

It is a grand siprht to hook well one of these enormous fellows. He soon be cornea sensible of Ids danger, and with a rush ho gives you to understand you haw to fight for him.
