the multitude tossed its tOques in the air
and bent low before the long-lO0ked-for
sovereign. The city was decidedly more
gay in its appearance yesterday than on
any previous occasion, and the enthusiasm
was manifested earlier in the morning.
Uniforms were out in larger numbers, and
the streets and business houses were decor
ated somewhat beyond the display of the
previous days. The event OF the day was
the arrival of the Ice King and the parade
in honor of his coming. In all the winter
there has not been day more appropriate
for the reception of a king whose home
is in the Snowhelds of the frozen north. 1t
was still, clear and stinging cold. During
the night previous the mercury had regis

when fog comes up, so that when the sun
arose yesterday morning the air was filled
with bits of frost that sparkled with that
particularly cod-lOOKing sparkle that is
often noticed in this part of the northwest
The trees were

and the streets and walks creaked and
chirped as the cutters and pedestrians hur-
ried over them. There was no wind, but
it was stinging cold. The streets were all
activity, and more rigs were out in the
forenoon than at any day yet. 1t was evi.

They seemed to pay more attention to the
dec rrations than the citizens who have
seen them so constantly, and their remarks

numbers. At the palace grounds the fore
noon was about devoid of interest. Th'
finishing touches were being put OF
by the workmen upon the top, and tn
evergreens were being distributed about tn
park. The palace was practically com
pleted on the arrival of the king, and bl

HONORs MOST HIGH.
mOrtals Who Were Favored by the
KING of the Carnival.

His most gracious majesty, King Borealis,
through the recommendation of his minis
try, has been pleased to confer the honor of
knighthood and to raise to the peerage the
following meritorous gentlemen who, for
their distinguished services to the state. are
entitled to the honor. The ceremony of
comforting this special mark of the royaI
favor is very solemn and imposing. The
lord high chamberlain announced the name
and services of the new peer, who was
conducted by guard of honor TO the foot
of the throne and there introduced by the
chamberlain. He knelt on one knee and
his majesty drawing his sword laid it on
the new peers shoulder and went through
this formula: 'tAriSe George K. Finch,
Earl OF Ramsey, and in token of your
loyalty To our kingdom and to our royaI
person take your king by the hand" After
the Misunderstanding process the king sheathed
his sword and the new peer retired TO re-
ceive the congratulations of his fellow
nobleman.

THE PROCESSION.
1 Magnificent Pa rade OF Winter Car
niVaf Clubs.

Soon after 2 o'clock the streets in that
section OF the city near Rice park, includ-
ing half dozen blocks TO the west, began
to present a lively and picturesque appear
ance. The various clubs had determined
TO be ready To start the procession on time.
and were ON the ground early. And, as it
was the first opportunity which has been
offered 10 witness tine different OTganiLa-
tons by daylight, spectators thrOnged the
sidewalks, aud, in some places. even the
streets were blocked by the crowd. Not
only the clubs, but even the spectators,
were fully possessed of the marvellous en-
thusiaSm which the carnival has ensen-
dered and as the different clubs passed each
other in getting into position. cheers were
freely given. These loud huZzas, mingled
with the peculiar shouts OF many of the
clubs indicative of their organization, rend-
cred the scene highly inspiriting. The
handsome uniforms. the effects of sunlight
ON the silk and satin banners and vari-col-
ored decorations of the sleighs, the red cheeks
of the ladies and the Zest of every one
made the event one long 10 be remembered.
The clubs came on and took the places as
signed them. the mounted officers gallOped
here and there to see that all were ready,
and ten minutes after the announced time
the procession was moving.
One of the pleasantest features OF the
whole carnival arrangement is that the
ladies can participate in all the festivities
on equal terms with their brothers. sweet
hearts or husbands. The fact that ali
ladies look well in blanket suites is now
become generally known, and they entered
into the spirit of the occasion with COM
mendable ZeSt Add 10 the handsome
suits, trimmed with a delicate taste that
only ladies can display, the ruddy cheeks
wrought by the winter air, the sparkling
veyacity of eyes and manner that is cOnta-
gious on such occasions, and no wonder
that it is common expressions, ''How
well the ladies lookw This was heard on
every hand yesterday afternoon, after a
good look at the many occupants of the
handsome sleighs prepared for their lady
members by the gallant club boys. This
loyalty to the ladies was well illustrated by
one of the young men belonging to the
Mohiean club-which turned out one OF
the handsOmeSt sleighs-as that organiZa-
ton was taking its place in line. He re-
marked that another organization might
have the best sleigh. but loyalty added:
I'VE have got the prettiest girls in ours. y
The carnival has certainly brought the
| ladies a costume that does not require gas
light to make it becoming. When the time
approached for the procession TO move the
mounted officers soon wrought system out
of a seeming chaos, and at $40 o'clock the
line formed without any delays often in
cident to such arrangements.

Carnival Festivities Will Begin"
EmtIusiasm Growing.

Borealis has arrived. The train on
which his majesty had seen fit to make his
IcL, pilgrimage from his fields of never

afternoon. Never was monarch given a

three or four days reached its height as the
monarch touched his fur-cad feet to the
shining st. Paul snow, and in one big

AZ & ~ Hall.

The decrepit old city hall put on an ap-
pearance of gaiety yesterday and like an
old maid at fair put on its best bib and
tucker. The front was decorated with
banners of red, white and blue draped
gracefully over dOOrways and windows,
while long streaners of different colors
auttered from the cornices. and at the top
of the towering flag staff hung heavy
banner. whose rich folds waved proudly
over the heads of the crowd below.

royal chariot were covered. In less than a
half-hour after the work begun it was fin

The crowd was jam. Everybody was
