Arizona republican. [volume] (Phoenix, Ariz.) 1890-1930, 1893-05-30


naturally centers on the young ladies
representing newspaper enterprises.
Miss Lola Kincaid, the accomplished
daughter of Judge Kincaid, was The
REPUBLICAN champion aud her costume
was by far the prettiest in the eyes of a
REPUBLICAN reporter. The distinguish
ing features OF her attractive costume
were broad scarlet silk ribbons bearing
in gilt letters THE ARIZONA REPUB-
LIcAN."
Miss Clara Buford, dressed in white,
represented the Gazette. Her lowell.
ness was inappropriate to her her err
rand and her mission would have been
secret were it not for numerous white
streamers bearing the title, Gazette"
The obvious meaning of the above is
that much ! ,ss beautiful young lady
would have been more fitting repre-
sentative.
The same remark becomes more EN-
phatic in the description of the person
and attire OF Mrs. Robert Friedel
dressed in lovely white and whose
beauty attracted much attention. The
word was passed around that she rep
resented the Herald but her appearance
seemed to deny il and she bore no en-
blem indicating that she was the Her
aid lady. Her name and place on the
program however, showed that ill
judgment had been exer cised in giving
her An assignment.
Every young lady at the carnival
deserves a special mention but want of
space renders it impossible so that only
a very few may be so distinguished not
that they are more worthy than the
others but because in the noise, hustle
and excitement OF the scene their fig.
ures happened to impress themselves
more forcibly on the rsportorial vision.
Mics Laura Belle Fraklyn in dazzling
white was lovely "Rebekah at the
Well"; Miss Hauxhurt was a more
beautiful little Chinese lady than the
cons OF Confucius ever dreamed Of ; Miss
Lulu Warren Of the Red Corner was an
attractive figure and so one might go on
until the entire list is exhausted. But
the reader may consult the program,
picture in his mind each character and
conclude that no other young lady would
have looked half so beautiful aud he
will be of the same mind as the rep
orter who is awkwardlv struggling
along hampered by want OF space.
The first and chief incident of the
carnival was the auction sale vi beauty,
conducted by Marshal Blankenship,
who made himself famous. Under the
terms of the sale each purchaser be.
came possessed of a young lady who
was not only to be his companion for
the evening but for whom he was to
have the privilege OF investing in ice
cream. 1t was observed on this latter
account that the more spiritue'le look.
ing ladies brought the highest prices
but that was where the purchasers in
many instances were fooled. Some
funny incidents attended the sale. Mr..
q. ID. Dickinson, OF the Kelley insti.
tute, in his enthusiasm, bought beauty
az if ne were buying vegetables in
buRches OF dozen, and became i'm
poverished.
The Gazette representative was on
hand to boom the Gazette lady. He
became excited and bought the first
young lady put up who by mistake was
the wrong one. This mistake cost SIS.
The next time he made sure and bid So
and the amount was booked.
After the auction came the grand
march and then the banquet. Tie re.
mainder of the evening was spent in
social converse.
The music was furnished by Miss
Walton.
