The grand carnival and tourna-
merit at the skating link Monday
night was the biggest thing of
the seasOn-sO PRONOUNCED by all
Some 300 ladies and gentlemen were
present. The skating wa very
fine, indeed-and the maskers ere.
ated much meriment. The first
prize of the tournament, a fine
cameo ring, was won by Master
Willie Mosby; the first prize for
grace-a handsome silver fruit
staned-was awarded tn Mrs. Rach.
ael Pfiestley, the charming s.bette,-
half of our friend ~. ID. p; and
second prize to Miss Katie Semmes,
the beautiful and accom- pIished
daughter of DR.. A. I. Sem,nes. The
other lady skaters were Misses Ida
Hodges. MolIie Daughtrey, and
Battle Fairchiid-and all were so
graceful and lovely that 4 nice dis
elimination was needed to ceter-
mine upon the winners. Messrs.
j. I. Priestley. w. ii. Bailey, w.
II. Magrnder. Jno. w. Yergarn and
f. l.. Ross we're the judges, and
Capt. Ross delivered the prizes with
one of his feiicitous little speeches.
A charming feature in the pro
ceedings was the presence OF sever.
al little wee boys and girls, whose
efforts ELECTED much encouraging
applause. After the skating there
was dance. to he music of Prof.
Hartwell's excellent band, which
the participants seemed to enjoy
most heartily. The managers of the
rink, Messis. Swain and Stanford
deserve much credit for providing
90 excrllenf an enter tainment for
the young folks.
