was most cordially welcomed by the large
number OF persons who had gathered there.
He read the special kilograms that were
constantly handed him, and to all had some
thing pleasant to say. To friend who
congratulated him on his constantly increas.

THE PAGEANT OF REX.
TWENTY TABLEAU CARS IN LINE.
The Monarch as King OF industries
Scott's "ivanhoe" With Magoifi-
eient Scenic Effects.

NEw ORLEANS Feb 17.--Rex chose for bis
subject to-day Scott romance, "Iyanhoe." "
The pageant this afternoon showed that Rex
not only read the immortal work closely
but was a student of the history of the epoch
III which the romance il laid. The monarch
himself, in honor of the Worlds opposition,
came as king of industries. There We're
twenty gorgeously decked tableau cars, EN-
blematieal of the principal sceres and Incl
dents of ''Iyanhoe." The procession, IN its
entirely, was one of the finest ever given by
Rex, whose day parades are more critically
examined than those of his brother mon
archs. The broad glare of day not permit
ting the use of flimsy material. Follow
ing Rex came burlesque representatives
by some of the minor mystic societies
who were in turn followed by the promiscu-
Gus maskers. Tonight occurred the annual
pageant of Krewe Momus. One hundred
thousand people, one third of whom were
strangers, lined the streets. Krewe selected
fragile material out of which, however. he
built solldly. Momus is nothing if not clas-
steal, but the former pageants convinced
him that popular subjects are most success
full. Mythology, history and the arts and
SclcuctH nave Dten DeHulnullS presented III
former years, but scenes of fairy-land pro-
duce the best and most lasting impression.
His departure from time-honored
canopes and colonades, was wei
coined by those used TO carnival
pageahts to whom they have become some
whatmonotOnous. The scenic effects in all
the tableaux, eighteen in number. were
superb, clouds seeming to float in the air.
and the Crescent moon TO be suspended
without support. Tabeaux of colossal
grasses and flowers, novel, graceful and
picturesque, while grottoes, caves, pearly
gates, water effects, etc, were the finest ever
seen here. The God of Mirth selected for
his subject this year the legends beautiful:
Sweet is TIE love which nature brings,
Our meddling intellect
Misshapes the beautious forms of things
We murder &C. dissect.
Enongh of sciences and of art;
Close up these barren leaves:
Come forth and bring with you heart,
That watches and receives.
WORDSWORTH.
As the heralds came down the street to-
night thousands lining sidewalks and bal
comics craned their necks and a unanimous
shout went up: Here he comes" The
street was soon a blaze of light. the air
vibrating with the music of dozens of bands,
shouts and cheers as cars came into
view and passed over the scheduled
route. After the parade came grand
ball of momus. which is now progressing at
the French Opera House.

The Dickens Carnival.

Boston, Feb. 17.-Sixty five handred peo-
pie were present at the Charitable Mechan-
ic's building attending the Dickens Carnival
ed away. In the course of the entertainment
a large calcium light fell twenty five feet
upon the folds of the stage curtain and the
latter at once was all ablaze. The prompt
action of A. A. FOwle, managing editor of
the Globe, in calling assistance and extin-
glishing the flames undoubtedly saved the
building from destruction.
