harleouin and clown DISCUSSES with bags OF flour,
whitening each other and the negroes, and leaving
their oury tracks on the banquettes in all parts OF
the city, The grownup jolly boys gailoped on horse
back up the town and down, dressed and painted as
Bedouin Arabs, Indians, Turks, Chinese, Venetian
cavaliers, and African negroes Groups OF ludlcrous
maskers OF all conceivable descriptions went fylng
around in cabs buggies, furniture wagons and car
| riages All the courtezans in town appeared TO be
out many in male costume Of all kinds, from that OF
| the primp Canal street dandy to the rollicking
drunken sailor of Gaatin street and the green nat
boatman of Perddo street. great many OF the
more prosperous and stylish females of this class
went around in carriages, dressed in fancy costumes
of exceeding richness and beauty.
Untold thousands of people lined the principal |
streets, waiting for and laughing at the flying fool

In Gallitana, (the sailor region below jackson
Square,) all the females were out in mems disguise,
and most Of the men were out in women's disguise.
In the Faubourg IRENE, the spectaces were such as
to exceed our powers of description. To sum up,
New Orleans in the afternoon was Pandemonium Of
fantastic revery, at which residents looked and
laughed as Of yore, and which strangers regarded
with the most perfect wonder and astonishment.
Hundreds of aughable collisions took place between
different parties of maskers, and between maskers
and the admrng crowds. Our face aches now as we
write from the constant grin had to keep up during
the spectacles of the afternoon.
