The Fancy Dress Carnival
As was expected the fancy dress carnival
in the Metropolitan rink last evening was the
event of the season in Columbia. The at
tendance was larger than on the opening
night of the rink when 1000 persons were
present 1t was gorgeous sight presented
to the audience, as the beautifully and ele-
gantly dressed ladies and gentlemen whirled
around the floor Costumes of all kinds
would take column, and to name
n few would be unjust to others.
Suffice to say, it was grand affair.
Manager Krom had offered two prizes y
pair OF ladies' skates to the fanciest ladies'
costume and season ticket to the fanciest
gentleman's costume. Misses Kate Conklin,
Maggie Mullen, Annie Hinkle, Clara Lea
man, Mrs Annie Carrachers, Mrs. L. b
Eckman, Messrs. III. +. Yergey, Geo. w.
Irwin and j. ii. Zeamer acted as judges. As
the costumed skaters passed them in the
grand march, led by Miss Edith Wike and
John Simpson, and which was the most
beautiful march ever witnessed in Columbia,
they were closely inspected. The lucky ones
were Miss Edith Wike and Mr.. Atwood
Irwin.
The affair will be long remembered, and
there are but few who DO not wish its repeti-
ton. Manager krom deserves much credit
for the able manner in which he conducted
the carnival The order was of the best,
music good and not a single thing occurred
to mar the pleasure of the occasion.
