OFFICIAL SOUVENIR.
WILLIAM TELL-William Tell, a famous marks-
man, refusing to salute the cap of Austria, was con
demned to death, but permitted to ransom himself by
his skill in shooting an apple from his son's head.
Having successfully performed that feat without injury
to his son, and having been released, Tell availed him-
self of the first opportunity and shot Gessler, the ty-
rant. This float represents the arrest of Tell after
having killed Gessler.
