From The Indianapolis Star, Tuesday, May 4, 1915: The South Side May Festival concluded last night with a concert by The Indianapolis News Newsboys Band and a general jubilee at Garfield Park. It was the biggest and happiest day that part of Indianapolis ever had; fully 15,000 people visited the park enjoying the attractions, the athletic events, the baby show, and a general program of merrymaking. Parade judges awarded highest honors to the beautiful float of shoe merchants Horuff & Son. Their motor driven car was a pyramid of white and green surmounted by a slipper. Kingan & Co took honors in the horse driven class. The baby show attracted a big crowd and the judges pondered long and hard before picking the prize baby. First honors fell to six month old Charles Raymond Lawson of 419 S. Illinois St.
