 THIRD DAY.
Comic Base Ball. Magnificent Night Pa-
 geant.---Grand Masquerade.

Last night the great Mardl Gras Carnival passed into history; and the last day ended in blaze of glory-a fitting finale to splendid and gor- geous celebration.
 In the morning the comic base ball game took place as announced. Two innings were played with Lieutenant Lowell of Fort Huachuca as umpire. The umpire went into the game with a convenient rock pile within easy reach, and whenever ruling was dis puied the objector had dornick hove at him: an effective method of en- forcing discipline which is commend- ed to all umpires.
 The players consisted of Yates, Welsh, Franco, Clapp, the two Wrights, Sykes, Vega and others. Two innings were played, with score of six to seven.
 The evening pageant trayersed the railroad track between the round house, north of the town on the Amer can side, to "the ranchito," south of town on the Sonora side of the line. IL consisted of five floats, beautifully decorated with the American and Mexican colors, propelled by loco motive. The first float was preceded by the military band, and the last was followed by the Spanish Students and Municipal band. The floats and subjects were as follows:
 Float No. l. Montezuma. Date 1900. Passing through our country, leaving ruins and relics, found at the present time as proofs of his visits and the dwelling of his people. The constant fire on the altar.
 Float No 2. 1920. Cortez in search of the Golden City.
 Float No. 3. l880 Apaches in camp. They roamed these hills and drove all others away.
 Float No. 1. 1881. Railway pio- neers. The outriders ofrciyilization.
 Float No s. 1895. The King and his court following in the footsteps of civilization to join with you in the great progress
 The various floats were illuminated with, red, blue, green and yellow fire, and scores of Roman candles shot their yariegated balls of hre in the air as they passed, while the sky was saluted with rushing rockets. The allcgorical scenes represented were true to life, and accurate representa- tions. It was scene to be long re- membered.
 At La Aduana lcustom house of Mexico) the evenings festivities ter. minated with the grand masquerade ball given by the Athletic Club of Nogales to their invited guests which proved one of the grandest so- cial events ever occurring in Nogales aud unriyalled in either Sonora ol Arizona.
 The large "almacen" of the "Adua na, spacious hall l05x40 feet, hat been nicely carpeted, brilliantly light ed by electricity, and the walls adorn ed with the flags of all nations iI great profusion. At one end was ; raised dais on which was the throne of the "King and Queen of the Ball, covered by broad canopy, beautiful ly decorated with large flags of Mex ico and the United States, artistical ly intertwined. At regular distance around the hall tile walls were hum with sets offags, and escutcheon the two u each instance being tn

 American republics being thus repre- sented. The walls were festooned and the pillars entwined with the blended colors of the United States aud Mexico. All this fine display of decoration was conceived by and ex- ecuted under direction of Seilor Enri- que Aceyedo, Alcalde de la Aduana, who deserves great credit for the ar tistic conception and perfect elabora- tion with which his ideas were car ried out.
 At the appointed hour the maskers were marshalled on the floor by Cap tain l.. W. Mix, attired in the bril- liant uniform of Hetman of the Cos sacks, and acting as Chamberlain to the King. The various groups in the representations on the floats in the out door display marched in first, in the same order as in the pageant, and the other maskers followed. With the eyolutions of the march complet- ed, the King (Fred Herrera retired to the anteroom, and shortly appeared with the lady who hac been selected "Oueen or the Ball''-Mrs. R. Ogar- o-leaning on his arm. They lra- versed the space between the long lines of maskers ranged from the foot of the throne to the door Of entrance, all making sweeping obeisance as they passed, the royal pair returning salu- tations right and left. With their maiesties enthroned the maskers pass ed through several beautiful eyolu- tions of obeisance to the throne; then the King and Queen descended to the floor and headed the first set in the first Quadrl'le, and the ball was op- ened. And most splendid affair 1t was. There were more than 100 mask CTS en costume, and several hundred pectators Many of the costumes were very elegant, and the effect of all was grand. A finer affair of the kind could be presented nowhere in Arzo- na.
 A pleasing feature of the evening was the breaking of cascarones by the gentlemen and ladies upon the heads of each other, and the showering Of confitti. nIn the anterOoms were numerous vendors of cascarones legg shells filled with bits of perfumed tis sue paper and confitti Larger pieces of perfumed paper about half the size of wafersl, and they did a driving trade. One gentleman is said to have expended thirty dollars for them, and several others were fully as profuse. The gentlemen would buy the casca. rones by the basketful, and returning to the hall pelt the ladies with them the breaking shells scattering the per fumed bits of paper all over the as sailed party. Frequently several la dies clustered about gentleman anc pelted him with cascarOnes from hi: own basket Numerous encounters 0i this kind made the occasion a scene of great hilarity and merriment. Description of Masquerade COstumes.i
 At four o'clock this morning th' last strains of music died away, the last of the maskers departed from La Aduana7 and the great carnya was ended.
 Following is list of the maskeri and their costumes, which, althongl not complete is nearly 90:
 Mrs. R. Ogarrio- Queen of the Ball.
 Mrs. k. D. Titcomb- Empire costume.
 Amy Christ-Japanese lady.
 Iolite Goodwin of Tucson-"LittIe Girl 1T Blue"
 Mrs Joseph Pascholy Polish princess. Ila Hayes Glpsey princess.
