The "Business Mems Carnival" at
Holcombe Hall, last Thursday and Fri.
day evenings, was great success. Some
eighty businesses and trades were repre-
sented, and large number of young la
dies and gentlemen represented these with
great credit to the houses and themselves.
Few could imagine that fine evenings
entertainment could be produced out of
so common place ground work, but the
ladies who had charge Of it succeeded
nicely. Where all did SO well, it would
be invidous to single out special names
for commentator. But the display OF
the Electric Light Co. was SO unique as
to warrant special mentioni Miss Bessie
Newman appeared with electric lights up
on head and shoulders and circle of
lights around her dress. 1t was a very
beautiful and novel sight.
A contributor who was present at the
Carnival undertook to write up the whole
thing, but after using up SO much fun on
two OF the businesses represented, he
gave up and wrote:
We can give but one or two descrip.
tons of the trades represented as they
were so numerous aud varied. Take the
young lady, for instance, who represent
ed A. 9. Gandey, the popular Bridge
street hardware dealer. She was arrayed
in multum in parvo wardrobe OF choice
mixed hardware. Her face, which is al
ways beautiful, owing to the ornamental
tons, wore smoothly plain look, while
her hair fell in graceful ringlets and GIN
lets over a well formed bust artistically
chiseled out of plaster of paris. She had
a skate on each shoulder. On her head
she wore colored glass globe, but it did
not indicate light head by any means
There was a grand display of oriental
jewelry composed OF OK chains gracefully
entwined around large dog collar. A
large rubber belt encircled her tiny waist
to which were attached numerous useful
articles representing the trade. The skirt
was also adorned with articles emblama-
tic of the business and displayed were
hatchets, axes, saws, files, augers, ham
mers, vices, bells, nails, knives and forks,
hinges, rat and mouse traps securely
tackled on with Spalding's glue. There
were several shades 10 the material with
which her dress was composed. The
young lady is not mason although dec
GRATED with the square and compass, but
could well be designated lady odd-fel-
low. The hydraulic effects were of the
very latest designs and in keeping with
the steam aud hot water appliances. In
fact Miss Petre was miniature hardware
store on exhibition, and could the scheme
be carried out 10 daily advertising, no
doubt large financial results would surely
follow. "a
Another instance is the restaurant dis
play of A. b. Stockton 81 Son. Imagines
a young man apparaled in spo.less white,
with an oyster stew countenance backed
up with deviled crabs hair, terrapin
lNf alxn L.. nh,.x Ia ala
neck and an enormous live lobster sur
mounting his head 10 place of the usual
sombrero. The baked bean trimmings
gave him borrowed Bostonian look and
the ham and tongue sandwiches inter-
spersed, reminded one of the desert of
Sahara. He had rather too much of the
strawb berry ice cream blood look to appear
at good advantage, but this was more
than balanced by the orange iced CLEAN
of his sciniellating eyes. Nothing could
have been more appropriate than the
chicken salad dressing which adorned his
fair form. The Maurice river cove oy-
sters which were substituted for dia-
| monds and the cluster of soft shell crabs
that stood guard for the costly watch
chain were in season to say the least.
While the song he sang was appropriate,
still,
"a lobster in a lobster pot
A blue fish in pan"
Here's my nice new sausages,
Potatoes, beans and cabbages :"
would have given better satisfaction and
been in sympathy with the business, but
we suppose that was all arranged by the
managers beforehand. And what a
chance of lifetime it was for Jimmy"
to get good square meal, as latter the
opera was over" he devoured his samples
notwithstanding they were a little Geld.
II his slumbers were not disturbed by
frightful dreams, then his digestive appar-
atus must be perfection.
