The second day of the grand Carnival
"Opened auSpiciously." Many other
newspapers throughout the sphere will
use that phrase to-day. The rays of a
would-be summer sun, the same sun
that arose on Tuesday, fell round
about the great palace in profusion that
caused six beads of perSpiration to ooze
from 4 crack in the southwestern wall.
The exact location of that crack has not
yet been aScertained, but it is stated
that Sioux Indian has the beads. The
slight warmth that rolled about the en-
closure made it extremely pleasant for
all, especially the policemen, and they
were ordered to stand in one spot long
enough 10 let their feet grow cold, in
order to impress the stranger with the
idea that the climate is chilly. The
grounds were crowded with tobaggan
slides, Kinks, evergreen trees, an ice
palace and the GLOBE reporter in the
morning, and few more people added to
tile thr0ng in the early afternoon. At 2
O'Clock the GLOBE reporter entered the
gate. ana instantly everything was in
motion. There were more people there
than on the opening day. and were
about equally divided between the
tobOggan slides and Indian camp. Men,
women and children damned the slides
TO OVERLOOKING, and the three tracks be-
ing in excellent slippery condition, af
forded splendid eXhiliarating sport.
The Indians painted their faces in
few beautiful Irish, English, American,
and Franco-PruSSian stripes, and at
tired in typical
WAR PATH COSTUMES,

kicking, jumping, running races and
other Indian sports.
0Ihe three boys noticed standing
around the Kinks on Tuesday had man
aged to eluGe the buffalo coat yesterday
and were skating in company with sew
erai other boys and few rOSy-cheeked
girls. About the middle of the after
noon the crowd somewhat increased,
though the entire number was mere
bagatelle to what it is expected to be
to-day and this evening. A band sta
TONED in stand in the evergreen grove
played some really fine music at inter-
walls, and the strains instead of freezing
circled gayly around the palace tower.
At 4 o'clock the judges of the eouipage
display drove up in their carriages and
took their stand near the palace. The
equipageS drove by and were awarded
the prizes and ribbons as they passed.
Immediately following the equipage
display, the race course was cleared for
the snOwshoe races. Red flags mark
ing the course, were placed in position
and hundred-yard dash and One-miIe
dash were announced. In the hundred
yard dash Eugene Gibberton, st.
George club, took first prize; j. c. Wall,
captain of the NuShka'S, came in sec
Ond, and l.. Z. Ordway, of the Nushka's,
third. Time. 1515 seconds. The mile
dash was easily won by L. P. Ordway,
+. Gibberton second, Mr.. Whitecomb
third. Time, 6:S91s. Both races were
run on Sn0WShOeS.
The palace will be stormed tonight.
Ice King Durant with his forces will be
i'll the castle all ready for the onslaught
of the Fire King, who will on this oc-
casiOn be Senator d. A. Morrison. The
