SUNSET MOUNTAIN WAGON,


This wagon was filled to overfowing
with young girls in bright red fluffy
dresses 1t suggested basket of big ros-
es and nobody thought these young la
dies "yell'' was at all too strong for the
situation, as they should, in the receiving
of their banner.
"Are we in it?
| should smile,
We've been in it
ALI the while..'
THE MCMILLAN BUCKBOARD,
that won the first prize for decorated
mountain wagons. This was, perhaps,
the most dainty and artistic of all the
beautiful displays. There were four seats
filled with young ladies. Their graceful
voluminous dresses and every portion of
| the whole turnout, was a perfect dream
of yellow and white. Curving arches of
yellow and white, bent over and along
| the sides Of the buck board and the bus,
as if they were the supporting arches of
a bridge between the wheels, that swayed
up and down upon their buoyant
strength. A part of the yellow and white
| of this blackboard consisted of g. 600 paper
| roses, all Of which were made by two of
| the ladies. They were Mrs. Pope of Flor
| i6a, who designed this artistic picture
| and Mrs Frank S. Plummer, wife of the
! proprietor of the Mcmillan House. The
"yell," Git jars to use this word in this
connection, but the quotation marks
must act as a buffer) was very appropri-
ate to those dainty yellow and white la
| dies. 1t was
| "Yellow and white,
| Yellow and white,
We've got the prize,
We're all right.
Others on the blackboard were Mrs. G
P. Thomas and Miss Edith Shea of Port
land, Miss Mertie McGill, Mrs Charles
Gibson, North Conway; Misses Beatrice
| Plummer and Merniaine Frohlich, two
little gilrs.
THE KEARSARGE COACH,
winner Of the second prize for decorated
coaches. The words splendid and splendor,
rich and luxurious. superb and barbaric
were naturally suggested by the Kear-
sarge coach. 1t was Chinese or Japanese
or both combined, in every feature and
was as elaborate in detail as pagoda or
a temple of Buddha. Such rich draperies
everywhere, such multiforous colors and
design, such mass of decoration piled
all about in graceful heaps and in the
yeritable pagoda on top of the coach were
some of the slant-eyed beauties, just from
the fowery kingdom. Red and gold and
yellow were there galore, in great masses
of color The wheels were fashioned out
of beaten brass. The languishing beau
ties in the pagoda, who rolled their slant
| ing eyeballs in every direction, were Miss
Frank Hanson of Boston, the Misses Mar
garet Joy and 6. A. Trepet of Boston,
LIE Fevre of Brooklyn, Lena O'Keefe Of
Providence, GertrudeAllen of Someryille,
Maud Holt of Laconia and Miss Laura
Ahern of Lynn.
MT. PLEASANT BREAK AND PO-
/ LAND WAGON.
The former was the winner of a special
prize. 1t is magnificent vehicle in itself
and the Poland wagon is very handsome
also The decorations were green and
white ribbons of delicate shades and
splendid green and white flags The six
black horses on the break, with their
green rosettes. were unsurpassed in the
| parade for style and beauty. In the break
were Mr. W. p. Newhall of Philadelphia,
Miss Lucy Newhall OF Philadelphia, Mrs.
| A. w. Carpenter of Brooklyn, Mrs. Pot
ter Of Providence, Mrs. Hayes of New
York, Mr.. and Mrs. Jandon Brown Of

THE MAINE CENTRAL FLOATS,
winners of two special prizes. The Maine
Central made a special and very success
full effort. One float represented a steam
boat 1t was not quite as big as the
Frank Jones, yet big enough for two
men to be concealed, down in the cabin,
where they were able to walk on the bot
tom of the sea, unseen and propel the
steamboat as naturally as the real thing,
if not quite SO quickly. On the steamers
sides Were the words, Maine Central
Annex" and the stern were the words,
sc Bar Harbor, Mt. Desert.
The other float represented Pullman
car, with three large wide-open windows
on either side. 1t was rather gaudy in
coloring and detail, but the prettiest feat
ure of it, was the young lady passengers,
who rode luxuriously inside and who
wore dainty light dresses. They were all
from Woodfords Corner, Deering, Me-,
and even Portland's reputation for pretty
girls suffered somewhat by this display.
Wonder whether Payson Tucker or Col
Boothby made the selection. Their names
were: Miss Eta Hayes Miss Lizze Lu
cas-, Miss Louise MacIntyre, Miss Ger
trude Goodridge Miss Elsie Hawkes.,
Miss Alice Russell, Miss Theodore John
ston.

of this handsome coach, whose gay cos
tunes won prize, were Miss Ropes, the
life of the party, who sat with the driver

steering of the eight splendid bay horses.
