The Arizona champion., 1885-04-18
SKATING CARNIVAL.
The Bal Masque on Rollers.

evening the masquers Ion wheels" made their appearance in the spacious apartment, and more merry and gay assemblage never gathered togeth CT in Flagstaff. The different charac- ters represented gave varied and most comical appearance to the as- sembled throng, and the spectators, of which there were large numbers, en- joyed the scene. We noticed among others, the following ladies and gen. tlemen among the masquers:
 Lillic and Jennie Beal represented the phantoms, very neat attire, and Nellie Beal wore a very rich riding suit.
 Cora Marshall wore a plain white dress.
 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. Duuon 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 it 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 risky 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 was 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 fine plush suit, representing an Irish Lord, regular skating rink attire, which was very becoming. He is grace full skater, his movements are easy, aud 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 a 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 Van kee, apparently fresh from the nutmeg state, but he wants his character termed the "Town Foo"
 Frank Rumsey made very correct 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 "bay window was i'm mense.
 Niles Cameron did the female act to 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 Hubbard, and floated 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, a regular old Gambrinus.
 Jim Lamport was the Dutch butch er, who sustained his character very 
 The carnival was very successful ard we hope soon to zee another of the kind at the rink. l ELAGS7AFF LAGER BEER.
