SKATING CARNIVAL.
The Bal Masquc on Rollers.

which was largely participated in by our citizens. At an esly hour in the evening the masquenl Son wheels" made their appeara9/ ,a the spacious apartment, and 2 Ore merry and 1 gay assemblage nc gathered togeth- CT in Flagstaff. .e different charac- ters representf gave a varied and most comica ppearance to the as- sembled th1 ;, and the spectators, of which the were large numbers, en- joyed the ,ne. We noticed among others, following ladies and gen. tlemer mong the masquers:
 l. and Jennie Beal represented thT antons, a very neat attire, and lN . Beal wore very rich riding / Cora Marshall wore a plain white 1ress.
 Mrs. A. A. Dutton represented the CHAMPION. This lady, outwardly clad in the ministerial robes of this widely circulated journal, of course was the centre of attraction. We extend thanks to Mrs. Dulton for her thoughtfulnes in paying respects to the newspaper of the town, as no one about our office thought of represent ing us. We owe the lady one for the remembrance, and the time may come when we can repay.
 Mrs. C. A. Greenlaw appeared in the costume of Sister of Charity, and was highly complimented.
 Susie Taylor and Mary Black were arrayed in costumes probably repre- senting the Twin Sisters, and while naturally gay, the two ladies won hosts of admirers.
 Jesse Black represented the China man. and while 1t is sad the "China- man must go" the way Jesse went around the rink on rollers, one would think the Burlingame treaty with Chi na, was thing of the past.
 Jim Black represented frisky fe- male, probably in search of hus- band. He was just too nice to put your hands on, under a masque, but when that mustache came to light, the female beauty disappeared. Bain Black V as the female primrose of the evening, while George Black repre- sented the Dude, like one to the man. or born.
 MT. H. w. .Clarkson wore a fine plush suit, representing an Irish Lord, regular skating rink attire, which was very becoming. He is grace ful skater, his movements are easy, and is always admired on the rollers.
 Jas. O'Neil was arrayed in linnen costume, and being tall and slim, only lacked high silk hat to make him the very picture of book monger.
 Elmer Hoxworth, represented the fair young lady. A graceful skater, a miniature statue, he was real neat little lady.
 John Foran was the "washwoman" and was most thoroughly disguised.
 Ralph Cameron Was down east Yan- kee, apparently fresh from the nutmeg state, but he wants his character termed the Grown Fool"
 Frank Rumsey made very correct personation ot the clown.
 E. V. Griffin was the fat man and were it his natural state, he undoubt- edly would be the first alderman of  Flagstaff. His ebay window" was i'm mense.
 Niles Cameron did the female act to a charm.
 Ed. Hicklin represented the school girl, bashful or not, as the spectators might determine. Ed. looms up hugely in female attire, and being a swift skater with we'll rounded limbs, he represented the character we'll.
 MT. Bidinger wore white Mother and hoated his "banner to the breeze" with grace and elegance.
 T. E. Cary wore suit of tights in red, representing the "evil one." He also had "front'' on him;
 George Loucks was the grim old Dutchman, regular old Gambrinus.
 Jim Lamport was the Dutch butch CT, who sustained his character very creditably:
 The carnival was very successful entertainment, ard we hope soon to see another of the kind at the rink.
