Procession of Mounted Indians and Cowboys

Taken at Denver, Col., at the junction of Broadway and Colfax avenues, at the annual festival of Mountain and Plain. The official grand-stand with its throngs of people, forms the background.This is another section of the same parade, in which are shown mounted indian braves and squaws of the Pueblos, Apaches and Utes, in full Indian costume and war paint. Several floats characteristic of the country, including a float which carries an old miner and his donkey, pass. The procession ends with a group of rough cowboy riders on their half-tamed broncos.

James H. White, who is in the city representing the Edison kinetoscope, was driven over the line of march on Sunday and was greatly pleased with it. The directors will erect a stand for him and his instruments at Colfax and Broadway. It is his intention to take if possible views of the masked ball, which occurs the second evening, the night parade of the Silver Serpents and views of their ball. The views of both day and night scenes will be sent all over the world and will be a great advertisement for the city and state.

Col. S. K. Hooper, general passenger agent of the Denver & Rio Grande, has been in correspondence with Thomas A. Edison for some time with this end in view. Mr. Edison finally concluded to take all of the principal features of the festival with his kinetograph, and commissioned James H. White to this duty. Mr. White arrived here a day or two ago with 25,000 feet of film for this purpose. Theses pictures will be developed and shown in all the kinetograph entertainments on the globe.
