THE BOSTON MAKES ITS AP-
PEARANCE HEADED BY A
BAND.
SPIRIT OF THE CARNIVAL
STIRRED UP BY THE BRIGHT
COSTUMES AND LIVELY
MUSIC.
THE MILITIA BOYS MET
And Decided to Refer the Choice
of Uniforms to All the
Members

Carnival spirit pervaded the
streets last night, when the Boston
club paraded seventy-fve strong,
headed by the Boston band. Start
ing from the store, corner of Sixth
and Robert, the club marched up
to the Windsor hotel, where Col. Mon
fort greeted them warmly, and the
boys cheered him in return. Then the
line of march was taken up for Sew
enth street, thence to Robert. When
the corner of Fifth and Robert was
reached Adam Fetsch called halt
and treated the marcherS to a box
of his finest cigars.
From this point the club marched
to carnival headquarters in the Ger
mania Life building, where Presi-
dent Bean, of the carnival associa-
ton, welcomed them warmly. LAS
the first carnival club to enlist for
the season of '96, 1 desire to con-
graduate you; and I want to COM
pliment you most heartily on your
handsome appearance. To me your
parade tonight is an auSpicious au-
gury of that awakening spirit which
shall publish to the world, as of
yore, that ST. Paul people are not
snow-bound and house-bound in
winter time, but that, on the con-
trary, they take advantage Of the
bracing season to reap the health
full and generously bestowed ad-
vantages Of the finest climate that
earth can boast. Your appearance
and your enthusiasm give promise
that in the next thirty or forty days
we shall see upon the streets of St.
Paul gaily dressed hosts of the
young and vigorous manhood and
womanhood of St. Paul. 1t makes
the blood tingle in the veins of the
veterans of other carnivalS to see
the youthful members of the COM
munity arrayed for thorough en-
joyment of Natures grandest sea-
son; and on behalf of the veterans,
as well as for the association, again
welcome to the cause the youngest
and handsomest of carnival clubs.
rolled out for President Bean, and
President Footner, of the CONNER
cial club, was called for. He re-
sponded in very neat little speech,
in which he praised the enterprise
and commended the public spirit of
the Boston club. He reiterated the
hope of DR.. Bean that the opening
of the new year will see the streets
Of st. Paul alive with carnival clubs,
because on them will depend very
largely the success of the carnival.
Messrs. Ryder and Skoog, of Ry-
der's Mandolin orchestra, played
the new carnival march, and at once
caught the crowd that had been
drawn to the rooms by the appear
ance of the Bostons on the street.
Then ensued a feast of music and
song by the band, the orchestra and
the vocalists of the club, Messrs
Tenny and Wolf, Ed ]. Murphy, Ed
er, and Master Billiard. The latter,
mere lad, possesses a really fine voice
and uses it surprisingly we'll for one
SO young. Hot coffee was served all
around by the Delicatessen, and the
club marched forth again.
George Thompson, of the Dispatch,
was discovered in the basement Of
Newspaper Row, and forthwith he
was summoned to the street, where
the club had lined up to receive him.
Mr.. Thompson made a speech full Of
encoura cement. He said that on the
efforts of the first few clubs that
show themselves must rest much of
the responsibility for the success of
the club feature. He was glad, there
fore, that the Bostons could make
such an elegant showing so early in
the season, and he wished them the
largest possible measure of fun and
glory.
After cheering for Mr.. Thompson
and his paper the club marched to
the G l o b office and lined UP while
the band played a few selections;
and the Pioneer Press was honored
in like manner.
The Boston suit is Of bright red,
with trimmings in black braid, black
and red stockings and toque, black
sash. On either arm is black dia
mond with a big white B. 1t makes
a very swell outfit, and VIII look we'll
in any company. This club will be
in great demand as an entertainer,
for it numbers among its members
some Of the best talent in the city.
On some evening next week the club
will attend one of the theaters in a
body, and they promise to wake the
city up.
