vils'' to Misses Amelia Mueller, Helen
Wagner, Mary Callsen, Annie Schaefer,

the tabeauX good, but as Barham says:
A laughing woman with sparkling eyes
Is the "'wuSseSt" devil of all"
This group deServedly won the second
prize a handsome album and stand.
A group of "coonS" was very pretty and
amusing it consisted of August Brian,
Willie DueSSen, Rudolph Maurer, Hans
Brian with Master Landauer and An
drewS as attendants, Those gentlemen
star played female characters.
The ladies' band was also pleasing and
attractive so much so that the reporter
forgot to take their names
Another group that provoked fun was
: hn wi SphnltVn
Schneider, ISSy Cohen and Charlie ROSSy)
who ta-ra-ra- bOom-de aged it with
Ryder-Tay lor'S adaptation that made
good hit.
Here are now poor widows four
Who are lively on the floor,
And you bet we're fond of fun,
Where it can be quietly done.
Thus we come to seek a blade,
At this pleasant masquerade,
For we know the Turner bows.
Are the ones that life enjoys.
Ta-ra-ra, etc.
The young and old may not agree
But when they go on the spree,
They can spark pretty belle
AnC they sometimes raise a-well
You know how it is yourselves
When you meet m sch viOuS elves,
And tonight all must be gay,
For this is the proper way.
Ta-ra-ra etc.
Zuschlag is jolly man
Rightly built on natu""'N plan,
And he does his duty we'll
As the members all We Cell,
Alas he's married and no chance
Have we aught to do but dance
| For if we should flirt he'd say
Ia ra-ra: boom de aye.
Ta-ra-ra etc.
There's Brian, who was president,
On him now my thoughts are bent,
| For he is jolly mash
| And they say he's making cash,
| Now that dear ones mashed on me
| As you all can plainly see,
| Bur, sisters dear, I'd better hush
| For see he's going to blush.
| Ta-ra-ra etc.
There's Runge who in politics
| ALWAYS there, my boy, he'll mix.
| Now his been on the right side
| And PaSchal'S won he has his pride
But he usually went wrong
| Though he worked so well and long
Now he's feeling awful gay
And to all he'll sang or say
Tr-ra-ra etc.
Girls let's say in your disguise
You may seek and wiR prize
So you'll have your little hirt
And on beaux will put the spirit,
II they should to you propose,
In a way that true love shows,
Don't forget to answer "yes"
And a home you soon will bless.
Tara ra ETC.
Each verse was received with loud APP
plause and the dance had the vivacity of
Lottie Collins with the usual display of
underskirts. Zuschlag laughed heartily,
the gentle Brian bluShed through his
negro mask and Runge was tickled by
friendly illusions to him; and the girls
took some of the hints in the last verse.

tie Brotze took the ladies' prize, mirror,
for her character, 1.-THE little Indian" and
Louis Heuermann took the gents prize, a
gOld-headed cane, for his rich costume
