| sports with an inclination toward SOcia-
bility. 1t is very energetic, and to its
energy and enthusiasm, inspired by its

tOboggan and float turnOutS. Mr.. Mon
fort does not try to copy after anything.
| He conceiveS a pretty tableau,
| and at once directs the building
of a float to correspond with
| it. There was charming
| poetry about the float by which the club
honOred President and Mrs. Cleveland
the only float which put in any ap-
| pearance-and which was drawn by
| ten white horses formed in triangle,
| The pyramid of lovely ladies beneath
| the beautiful canOpy-the three shells
containing dreams from fairyland, and
the representation of young maiden
driving a swan-Such was the concep-
ton of Mr.. MOnfort realized: and it can
not be described by turning to the
pages of mythology, although the theme
reminded one of a voyage Of fairies, i'll
fairy vessel, across a fairy sea, and
tugged by fairy swan, the three shell
seats in the rear containing the fairy
queens and princesses. The float is
capable of holding seventy-tive people,
and the ten horses are driven by pOStll-
ions in the Windsor uniform, the colors
of which are white trimmed with blue.

earth meeting the blue sky.
The clubs badge is monogram of

One of the liveliest times ever enjoyed
by the club was during the first Carni-
val on the return from the Saltwater
excursion, when the "Wakoutas to the
reScueH headed by Will Adams.

was flOOred, and the Wakoutas made
