What attracted more attention than the cabin was the bevy of pretty girls who sat around the edges of the float.

It was followed by a group of young men, proving that in those days as in these, the youth was wont to follow the maidens. The entire party was attired in costumes of the Colonial period. Float of Perry An Imposing shaft on the next float bore the magic name, "Perry," and by its side, "Lake Erie." The float was entered by the United States Daughters of the War of 1812 and was of simple but effective design. "Abou Ben Adhem" was not forgotten and appeared on the next fioat, with a quotation from the immortal poem of that name. Francis Scott Key, in the midst of the composition of the immortal "Star Spangled Banner," was presented with great effectiveness.

M. Duke Sowers took the part of Key and stood on the fore part of a reproduction of a vessel's deck. While the smoke and noise of the night battle scene were necessarily absent, it took but little imagination to believe that the poet was really gazing upon the attack upon Fort McHenry that inspired his production.

In the rear of the float Mother Nature Is shown pouring water from a bottle with six spouts, the silver streams trickling down the slopes idf wooded hills into a lake. The six spouts of the bottle represent the six sources of the city's present water supply, and the effect of the whole float is to show how Reading, following float and created a sensa which nce depended upon a pump tioii all along the route. Those who have seen the original bell in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, declare that the one used in the parade yesterday is a perfect image of the world famous one that rang out the sto.ry or independence in 1776, for its water supply, n'ow gets that supply from the hills surrounding the city.
