the FIRST CARNIVAL,
A GRAND SUCCESS.

rlnk. ne proprietor IS 10 DC con-
graduated upon brilliant success.
From 1000 to 1920 people we're
in the great pavilion, hundreds who
came only few minutes after the
doors opened having to stand. A
few skaters took the floor punctually
at the first signal, and the number
quickly grew until there were prob
ably sixty to seventy merry maskers
flying round to the time of the band.
The open side of the rink, opposite
the gallery, had been made pictu-
rescue with arches of palms in the
sections. a row of colored lanterns,
with fower-decked festoons and fern
clusters on both sides and beneath
it, extended from end to end of the
rink. Fcstoons of flags were taste
fully arranged Mt intervals, and the
chandeliers were gaily adorned with
foliage and flowers.
When the carnival reached its
height, the rink comprised u specta-
Gle rarely seen here, for briliancy
and Kaleidoscope beauty, There
was an indescribable variety of color
in constantly changing lights and
shades in the skating arena. With
the gorgeous spectacular effects,
there was an abundance of comical
diversion afforded by the sprightly
young lads. A little harlequin would
seize the Chinaman's pig tail to be
towed round the course, while fan
tastically got-up beauN conducted
rather violent flirtations with not I'M
willing bellies. The latter perform
ance seemed rather shocking to
taste, until the fact dawned that the
bellies were boys-not bell buoys,
however. Among the most amusing
and well-acting characters were the
Fat Boy, whose elephantine proper
tions were set off by contrast with e
diminutive Blaine hat perched on tina
top of his poll; the Hawaiian Dude,
whose ah-de-dah antics made every
body laugh; the Clown, whose ridi-
culous amblings and attitudes made
lots of fun, and the Old Lady, of
wonderfully benign aspect. Now
and then some gamin would fall of
set purpose in the way of the pro-
cesslon, and there would follow q
grand crash of half-a-dozen masque-
raiders in struggling heap. The
most grotesque costume was that of
the Skeleton; the best disguise was
| HOLSTERS Saltwater bottle, out of
two little holes below the neck of
which the tenant kept a lookout.
One of the best got-up male rigs
was Uncle Sans, the stars and
stripes of which made a pretty item
in the display. This had magniti-
cent counterpart In the costume of
the Goddess of Liberty, without
doubt the most imposing among the
ladies. The petit form of Queen
Navarro attracted universal notice
and admiration, and, as will be seen
below, carried off the prize for the
handsomest costume. The Gentle
man of Verona's towering height
made him one of the most conspi-
cuous characters in the scene, and
his get-up was worthy Of his pro-
minence. Ell Mahdi's sombre aspect
and white-robed dignity made ma
jestic figure in the throng which
never could get lost to view. One
of the most ingeniously contrived
dresses was that made of sheets OF
our morning contemporary, and our
reporter gave the character the title
of ga Great Newspaper" Below
