noon surpassed III its general appearance
the one of Monday night though it was
less lurid and more quiet. But it was in
daylight and the sunshine. and more COM

the procession could be seen for blocks. and
the varieties of the uniforms and the many
colors OF each made picture of the bright
est hue. The turnout in the parade was a
good index Of the degree TO which the car
nival spirit has caught the populaee.
All classes were there. Business
was at a stand-still. About all
the houses in the city were
closed, and the city, county and state
offices were doing very little business.
THE KING WAS RECEIVED
in due form, and the keys of the city
formally given into his hands by Mayor
Rice. In the evening the royal court was
held in the carnival hall. and his majesty
and his royal spouse admitted 10 their court
all subjects. This was on scale of mag
nifcence that rivals the tales of the Orient
or the wonders of the fairy books. 1t was
as if the state and pomp of the French
monarch had been suddenly transplanted TO
regal display The scene was most brilliant.
Within the rainbow decorated hall were
thousands of uniformed ladies and gentle
men scattered in groups of a half dozen

lights, with golden crowns upon their heads,
in all the dignity of a real monarch, sat
King Borealis and his Queen. Ii was

many provinces, receives the embassies
from several states. Shrill notes OF the
bugle sounded through the hall. The separ-

throne, and as he passed each loyal subject
bent his head and made salute OF Obeisance.
Guards with shining bayonetS stood
round about. The monarch bowed
his pleasure to the several visitors.
Never did subjects more gladly welcome a
king. 1t was the king of the carnival,
and the carnival was on from the moment
when first its royal center seated himself
upon the throne. Tonight will occur the
brilliant siege of the
HOME OF TIE FIRE KING.

garrison will be posted at early nightfall.
The stormng troops have been well drilled;
their number is legion and their ammunition
is ineXhaustible. Their commander in
