RICH AND LUDICROUS COSTUMES

RICH ANDLUD1CROUS COSTUMES
All Sorts were to be seen at Saturday
Nights Masquerade.
In every Respect the affair was Attended
with success.
| Fair weather smiled on the efforts of
| those under whose auspices the mas
| querade was held at Turner Hall on
Saturday evening, and from the time the
| first sound Ct soft music t1oated through
the hall, the masqueraders continued to
enter and glide about the floor. By nine
o'clock nearly tWo-hundred masked
forms could be counted as they circled
about the hall or bothered the lockers
on with pranks and capers that were
evidently more entertaining to the per-
formers than to those selected to be en-
tertained.
The costumes, while including but
few humorous ones, were in many in
stances beautiful and such as to attract
| admiring attention. The floor managers
for instance, consisting of six ladies,
were richly dressed, and the Prince and
Princess with their train glittered IN the
elegance of their attire. A group of
young men and ladies also APP
peared which made fine impression,
representing as it did crew of conduc-
tors. brakemen, newsboys aud the like
for the Northwestern and st. Paul New
Ulm and Southwestern railroads. The
newsboy who sold the New Ulm Review
was deserving of particular praise for.
the excellent judgement shown in con
tining his sales exclusively to the best
advertising mecium in the county, OF
particular merit, however, and taking
the lead among the handsome groups OF
the evening was the Queen Anne's
Fan Brigade" owing to the originality
of their drill and the style of their suits.
Gracefully did they pose, majestically
did they sweep their fans in the direc-
ton of some dear one in the galleries,
winsomelY they winked (the other eye)
and with what a futtering sensation
their fans did futter. OF a certainty
the group was a good one.
OF the other groups, the six girls
enclosed in cases, shaped like oyster
shells, and the fortune tellers were
among the prettiest while the scene up
on the stage with the Prince seated
upon a throne and surrounded by his
attendants was also beautiful one and
captured much applause. The comic
groups included the A lliance Band,
which was very good and caused great
deal Of laughter, the butchers, the bak-
ers and the devil and several of his as
! sociates.
The individual masks were very num-
erous. Vetterle was there for second
time, the policeman who once in great

advertisement.
An amusing feature of the masquerade
was the large loaf OF bread weighing
over 100 pounds, which was carried
about by the group of bakers, and the
immense amount of sausage that was
hung out as a sign for the butchers.
