     When the carnival frenzy hits 
     
     Charlottetown they pull all the 
     
     stops, open the throttle wide, 
     
     step on the g'as—or whatever 
     
     other simile you can think of at 
     
     the moment. 
     
    

    
     They did it yesterday, and 
     
     how! 
     
    

    
     A Gold Cup and Saucer par- 
     
    

    
     e that topped all parades 
     
     ever seen here was only the be- 
     
     ginning of a day that promises 
     
     to be one never forgotte .

     once. . 
     
    

    
     That part of the terrific show 
     
    

    
     was spearheaded by the go r- 
     
     geous Gold 
     
     Girls who 
     
     they had been specially born to 
     
     fill their parts in the show. And 
     
     what a showing they m a d e.

     The judges of the Miss America 
     
     contest are wasting their time 
     
     in Atlantic City. 
     
     ’ Tremendous in its scope and 
     
     appeal to the people. the big 
     
     Gold Cup and Saucer Parade 
     
     yesterday was a 
     
    
   
   
    
     success. 
     
     From early in the morning 
     
     people were lining the streets 
     
     on the route. Chairs and tables 
     
     were placed on lawns a n d a 
     
     strictly Mardi Gras atmosphere 
     
     held swa . 
     
     Camp benches lined the curbs 
     
     in every residential section and 
     
     it gave all Charlottetown an ap 
     
     pearance of London during 
     
     coronation parade. 
     
     CEEERED. CLAPPED 
     
     .At principal points people 
     
     were lined five and six deep and 
     
     cheered and 
     
    
   
   
    
     oats. 
     
    

    
     Part of the fanfare for th e 
     
     big Evening Patriot Gold Cup 
     
     and Saucer - race the 
     
     parade featured horses and more 
     
     horses. were kids on 
     
     ponies or in sulkiel behind them; 
     
     there was no Dee‘: Boy in the

     parade but tltere was plenty of 
     
     speed in evidence as a flock of 
     
     drivers in colorful racing silks 
     
     drove their trotters and pacers 
     
     along the streets: than: were 
     
     girls on horseback and wearing 
     
     everything from formal riding 
     
     habits to the Island tartan. 
     
    

    
     But above all there was life 
     
     and color and truly tremendous 
     
     crowds. Never before'has this 
     
     writer seen so many people at- 
     
     parade in this city. They 
     
     came rom Tignis and Califor- 
     
     nia, M o n t a g u e and Florida. 
     
     from all parts of Canada. The 
     
     came in slacks and shorts. busi- 
     
     ness suits and dresses — a n d 
     
     even wore bathing suits on the 
     
    

    
     oats. 
     
    
   
   
    
     JAMMED CITY 
     
    

    
     They came in from’ their cot- 
     
     tages and tents, from their 
     
     trailers and parking lots, 
     
     their farms and villages 
     
     towns. They jammed the city 
     
     beyond what town planners 
     
     er thought it would hold. 
     
    

    
     Nobod worked in town yes- 
     
     terday. Stenographers and re- 
     
     port-‘rs left their typewriters to 
     
     watch. Lawyers forgot the 
     
     icourts, but doctors had an ad- 
     
     ivantage as the parade wa 8 
     
     ‘designed to pass the hosvltals 
     
     and probably everyone not 
     
     der an anaesthetic was watch- 
     
     There were thousands of kids 
     
    
   
   
    
     actually outnumbered by 
     
     and long after the parade pass- 
     
     ed they were still jamming the 
     
     sidewalks and the stores.

     And the terrific show m a de 
     
     everyone wonder that those 
     
     charge meant when they said 
     
     it was to be only the third best 
     
     parade to be seen in th _cil7Y- 
     
     They promised an even bigger
