frolic and ConGtti.
 According to the printed programs thrown around the streets yesterday morning the forenoon was to be de- voted to sports and pastimes at the plaza on the other side in front of the Mexican custom house. The com mittee in charge of that department was on hand at the appointed hour; but no contestants appeared to strug- gle for the prizes offered. The band was present and discoursed fine music which was appreciated by the crowd which had gathered.
 At o'clock in the afternoon began the throwing of flour and contitti; and the streets were thrOnged with merry pleasure seekers, each carrying "a small sack of four, handfnlls of of which they shOwered with lavish profusion upon all they met. Headed by band of music, accompanied by wagon laden with sacks of flour mer- " baud of fully two hundred gentle men and ladies, specially clad for the work. paraded the streets throwing the flour right and left without fear or favor. In a little while everyone looked like millers and the streets and fronts of buildings were covered with the white powder.
 Many of the maskers agreeably va ried the entertaInment by showering ccnfitts on all they met.
 Att o'clock in the evening the lam tern parade of the Nogales Bicycle Club trayersed the streets. Each wheelman had two Japanese la nterns, one on each handle bar, and there were twenty riders in the line. The effect as they moved through the streets in the dark, was very fine.
 At the school house on she Sonora side of the liUe, at evening, the house was well filled by the public masquer- ade ball. Coming so close before the grsnd eveAt of the same nature to be given by the Athletic Club this eve ming, initiated in measure against the success Of the function. Another feature which marred was absence of a strict regulation denying the privil- ege of the floor early in the evening to those not masked, for there were more dancers without masks and cos tunes than with. Among the char acters represented Harry Lewis was gotten up as girl so charming and captivating that he created decided impression among the young bloods who hung about him like moths around a candle. Fred Herrera created the sensation of the evening by appearing in low necked and short sleeved cCs- tune with abbreviated skirts and pad- ded calves, with the padding slipped to the front.

SOL. SMITH RUSSELL.

The management deserves credit and
the encouragement of our citizens for Sc
curing this great artist for an appear
ance in St. Johnsbury. Mr.. Russell is
we'll known to our best people, and that
he will meet with hearty welcome here
goes without saying. The play selected
for his performance here next Wednesday
evening is "A Poor Relation which the
Boston Herald only last week termed
"the eminent comedians masterpiece.
In "A Poor Relation" Mr. Russell has
made probably the most pronounced sue
cess Of his career 1t combines the pa
thetic with the comic In the most happy
manner. In Noah Vale, he has charac-
ter that fits his personality and his
temperament to perfection. It's humor
is at all times tinged with the pathetic.
The whole play is permeated with
wholesome sentiment. Mr.. Russell occu-
pies unique position among players.
He has line in which he has neither
competitors nor imitators. His style is
so distinctly his own as to make him an
exceedingly interesting figure on the cur
rent stage. There is no apparent effort
on the comedians part to touch the
hearts of his audience. There is no striv-
ing after effect; but in many of the scenes
tears comes to the eyes of the audience
almost before the smile has left their lips.
AS to Mr.. Russell's support, Manager
Berger has this season surrounded his
star with one of the strongest and most
evenly balanced companies now on the
road, including Charles Hackay, c. S.
Smiley, Alfred Hudson, Hugh Harting,
R. F. Sullivan, the Misses Harriet Ford,
Kate Ryan, Kate Centerle and Stella
Boniface.
The advanced sale of seats will open on
Monday morning at o'clock at Bag
ley's and Bingham's. Excursion rates

A NEW HOSPITAL.

Architect Packard has drawn plans
for a hospital which Rev. Father
Boissonnault will erect this spring
on the Perkins lot opposite the
Catholic church. The building will
be substantial brick building, two
stories high, with ground dimensions
40 by 60 feet, and will cost about
$4,000. Father Boissonnault
hopes to build an addition to this
later that will be built at right
angles to the first structure and OF
the same size and design. The hos.
pital will accommodate about 10
patients and will not be restricted to
Roman Catholics, but for the use OF
all denominations. The house for
merly occupied by DR.. Perkins has
been used for a hospital and the Sis
ters have done very faithful work in
caring for the patients. st. Johns
bury has long needed just such an
institution as Father Boissonnault
is to erect and it will be an ornament
and valuable addition to the town.

On April A. number of officials
of the Passumpsic and St. Johnsbury
division of the B. & M. railway went
by special car to pay their respects
to the station agent, Mr.. Sherwin,
at Johnson. They were given
hearty reception, and entertained in
a pleasant manner at Mr.. Sherwin's
sugar camp on his farm, where they
enjoyed as much of the warm sweet
stuff as they possibly could.
The disciples ofIsaac Walton who
have been accustomed to take fish
ing trip into New Hampshire during
the month of April, should remember
that the recent New Hampshire
legislature has made several impor-
tant changes in the laws. To begin
with, the close season is extended un-
til May /, making it illegal to catch
trout before that time, except lake
trout with a single hook and line
during January, February and
March.

one of these machines at the scale
works. He will cover the principal
cities OF New England and also visit
Philadelphia on his first trip. Mr.
Celley will make valuable man foi
this company.
Much interest will doubtless bt

ALMoSTAN ACCIDENT.

The rails spread on the Lake road
Yesterday afternoon between Wal
den and Danville as the mail train
from the west was coming along and
had the train not been stopped a
serious accident must have occurred.
The rails spread several inches and
the cars bumped along the ties to the
great CONSERVATION of the passen-
gers. The engineer stopped the
train before any damage was done.
