The carnival at the ice rink last
Thursday night was a decided success
and highly appreciated by the public.
The number of spectators was largely
in excess of the most sanguine expect
ationt of the managers on account of
the cold, blustry weather prevailing,
and they are we'll pleased with the pat
|ronage they received. The number
and variety Of costumes was largely in
excess of any previous occasion and
the characters represented evidenced
the good taste Of the maskers. The
event Of the evening was the awarding
of the prizes for the best lady's and
gents costume and character repre-
{ scented. The prizes were two silver
cups and there was much good-natured
rivalry for the coveted prize. Messrs.
Wentworth, White and Brosnahan
acted as judges, and finally after ma
ture deliberation awarded 'grandman
and "Uncle Sam" represented by Mrs.
Walker and Will McQuarrie, respect
lively, the prizes. Absolute fairness
prevailed in awarding the prizes, evil
denced by the fact that two out of the
three members of the committee were
strangers in the city, and Mr.. Went
worth, being only an occasional visitor
at the rink, knew none of the skaters.
1t is due the committee to state that
their selection gave general satisfac-
ton. The following is a list Of these
in costume and the characters repre-
sented. If any are missed the fault
lies with themselves and not with the
management or the newspapers who
made every effort to secure a complete
and correct list:
