The Merchants Carnival.

ne merchants Carnival.
The closing performance of the Mer-
chants Carnival Wednesday at Con-
cordia Opera house, although not so
largely attended as the previous even
ing, appeared to arouse more interest
among those present because of the
curiosity manifested as to whom the
diamond ring prize would go. Great
care and pains had been taken in the
costuming of the young ladies and it
may be truthfully said there was not
poor representation given on the stage.
AS is natural to suppose, some trades
were richer and better represented
than others, but there was an excel
lent average through the entire series.
Without intending any disparage-
ment to others it ought to be mention
ed that the exhibits of Straw q Muir
ply, the Minnesota Chief Thresher,
Bank of Watertown, Globe Milling Co.
and F. Tercinski appeared to have the
most admirers. In the voting the Bank
of Watertown was first, Globe Milling
Co. second, A. Wiggenhorn third, and
Straw and Murphy fourth. The Bank
of Watertown was voted the diamond
ring for being represented by the hand
soonest costume. Miss Pauline Voss
appeared for the bank, her person be-
ing draped in a cream white garment
with border of United States curren-
cy around the hem and flowing slee yes.
On one side she carried a broad
sword, on which was inscribed Gin
ance'-"Integrity," symbolizing char
acteristics of the institution. On the
head was worn tiara bearing the dates
1854 and 1891, symbolizing successful
and honorable business career of 81
years. The shield represented an en-
larged United States gold coin bearing
the name Bank of Watertown" and
was supported on the left arm. With
the right hand she carried a white ban
ner on the top of which was perched a
golden eagle. On the center of the ban
ner was shown representation of the
bank building and at the lower edge
fringe of coin was attached.
