made known that the BABY show was
now open. Such crisis Is then eJsUed
All kinds of babies were crowded arourd
the form OF the benevolent Leubrie, sud
one thousand and seventeen different
questions were asked by those who b I'd
the babies in charge. Many Of the
babies were handsomely dressed, some
being in little hRnd-carriages, wheeled
about by their attendants, but none
were cOuched in baskets of roses or
borne in palanquins of magnoiias, as We
once saw ia far-0h sunny CLINE.
DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES.
One hundred and twepiy-seven en-
velOpes, containing a total Of twenty-
two prize tickets, were distributed to the
babies, their age being limited to three
years. These envelopes were placed in
hat, and drawn out by boy, 80 that
the law Of chance only regulated the re-
ception of an envelope containing a
prize. Each of the envelopes, however,
contained blue ribbon with gold in
scription of Lsubrie's baby show, show
ing that the holder at least deserved 70
be rewarded. Several holders Of blue
ribbons felt quite blue when they pre-
scented them, but ascertained that such
did not entitle the darling baby to
prize. Below we give list of the
FORTUNATE BABIES AND PRIZES
drawn by each of them, for which their
thanks are due to the god of chance.

This completes the list of prizes, do
nors and lucky children. Leubrie re-
quests US to state that he hopes the pa
al II, 1 -,
prizes will blame their bad luck instead
of his own humble self. The baby |
show was a great triumph, and for its
Inauguration, happy management and
excellence generally, Count Lou Leubrie |
deserves the highest praise, and we
know receives the most liberal thanks |
of the married public. Had we space |
we should give q description of the diff |
ferent specimens OF infantile humanity
exhibited. But all babies are babies, |
and will cry when favorable opp0rtu- |
nifty presents itself, churches, theaters |
and funeral occasions being especially |
adapted to the exercise OF their natural |
vOcalism. To Beubrie and the citizens
who donated the prizes do we give |
thanks in the name Of at least twenty |
two m&mmss and pspas.
THE AFTERNOON ATTENDANCE
was almost entirely composed of those |
interested in the bsby-shOW, but by the |
time the prizes had been awarded, the |
number OF visitors had largely increas-
ed. The best people of Memphis, the |
prettiest ladies and the most distinguish
ed gentlemen were present to share the |
pleasures and interest OF the occasion. |
By six o'clock over two thousand per- |
sons had assembled in the PARK, chairs
and benches having been arranged for
their accommodation.
