help ST. Paul. 'Of all great cities, and
there are lots of them, we believe st.

that all the speechmaking in behalf
of the carnival directors and officers
was done by the chairman of the board
of directors. He would, nevertheless,
take advantage Of the opportunity to
express his thanks to the people of ST
Paul for the loyal support of the car
nival movement. To them, of course,
belongs the honor of the great success
that is assured. Il think he conclud-
ed, that the fact is now clearly dem
onstrated that st. Paul wants a winter
carnival, and that she wants it every
year. If this enthusiasm holds out, she
will have it,
To George r. Finch he said much
credit was due, and when his name
was announced he was enthusiastical-
ly called for. When he stepped upon
the platform he bowed humbly to Bo-
realis Rex, and then, to further show
his esteem for the ruler, kissed the
queen. He traced briefly the history of
carnivals of this city. He said that

1t was estimated that at least $4,000
people were within the walls of Fort
Karnival.
Many veteran carnivaliers stated that
the popular demonstrations showed a
degree of enthusiasm not excelled at
any previous similar event.
The fort is a beautiful and attract

ed, and presents a scene certainly at

The grind entrance is on Aurora ave-

nival uniform and carrying torches.
The chief marshal of the parade was
Maj. Price, with three aides-Capt.
Hardy in command of the second divi-
sion, j. J. Ryder the third and Mr.
Handy the fourth.
One of the most Interesting features
of the parade was the Redmen's club
and float. The latter consisted of a
tepee in which was Kept a blazing fir
while out in full view sat half a SEQ ;
of redskins drumming on tomtoms
and singing in the most hideous tones.
Behind the float struggled fifty or more
of as fierce looking bucks as ever
scalped a pale-face.
Osman Temples float also merits spe-
cial mention. The club was arrayed in
uniform after the Turkish STYLE. and
the whole made very fine appearance.
Of course everybody knows that

very few knew who the comely maid
was that took the part of the Carnival
queen. This fair dame is none other
than Andrew Heckler, of the Sterling
wine house, and he proved himself a
master female in last nights ceremo-
MES.
The parade reached Fort Karnival at
1890 o'clock. Borealts Rex, his queen
and all the other spotentates proceeded
at once to the block house, at the right
of the Aurora avenue entrance. AT one
end of the house was a platform upon
which, with the officers and directors
of the Carnival association, they re-
viewed the clubs and carnival organi-
cations as they passed through the
house. The greatest enthusiasm was
displayed, and as each club entered the
door Borealis Rex and his functionaries
would rise and greet them graciously
amid deafening cheers. This part of
the programme lasted half an hour.
after which the officials took turns in
expressing their delight at the success
already attained
Borealis Rex is a magistrate who
holds powerful influence over his sub
jects, as was thoroughly demonstrated
by the enthusiastic greeting he received
as he arose from his throne to speak.
He said:

ing the state fair last fall was ther,
such throng Of people on the street
along the line of march. In places i,
was almost impossible for the crowd to
make room for the parade to pass
and late as it was when the parade
reached the fort, there was an i'm
mense crowd in waiting for the con,
Guiding ceremony.
The parade, however, was the most
interesting part of the opening cere-
monies. The various clubs assembled
en- the streets in the vicinity of the
Metropolitan hotel, where the elab-
crate chariots were in waiting at the
door for Borealis Rex and his Lord
High Chancellor, and for the Fire King,
while magnificent gray charger was
held in readiness for the Carnival
Queen. 1t was nearly 9 o'clock before
these great monarchS made their ap-
pearance, took their stations and the
command was given for the procession
to start.
Borealis Rex and his Lord High
Chancellor were robed in white, and
THAR long. white hair showed that
they must be men of great age 1t was
evident that Borealis is far removed
from youth, because he grumbled about
the difficulty Of climbing into his char
lot, and chair had to be brought out
so the old fellow could ascend more
easily. AS he and his chancellor took
their seats In the chariot, an immense
shout went uD from the great con-
course Of people there assembled. Long
live Borealis Rex" yelled the crowd, led
on by his guard and the old man
seemed to grow young in an instant.
The chariot was white, representing
the snow and ice so abundant in his
dominion. In front was a huge white
bear, and perched on each side of the
chariot was the body guard clothed
in bear skins and each holding an i'm
mense icicle. The chariot was drawn
by six white horses.
The fire kings chariot was of a fierv
red, and around the canopy was a cir
Gle of red lights, while around each of
it's pillars was coiled an immense ser
pent, with open mouth and darting
tongue. The chariot was drawn by six
gray horses driven by Sam Carlson,
and on each side and following was
body guard Of his royal highness' loyal
subjects.
The charger on which rode the car
nival queen was a large gray, elegantly
caparisoned, and dancing as if with joy
inspired by the occasion. The queen
herself wore an elaborate costume,
and, by the way, is a very beautiful
woman, with a magnificent head Of
long blonde hair. She had on a hat
that would have done credit to any
theater-going woman In the city of ST.
Paul. 1t would not only have obscured'
the vision OF the man behind her, but
the one on each side as we'll. Her

gown was beautiful product of the
dressmaker's artistic taste, and in fact
everything about her was marvelOuSly
perfect. But when she mounted her
charger, ali her artistic decorations
and beauty were spoiled, for the lady
spectators at least, for she rode strad-
dIe-legged, custom probably common
to the females in her realm.
The procession was led by a platoon
of mounted police under command of
that old veteran so familiar in all pa
rades, Lieut.. Budy. Then followed
the carnival directors, and next came
the queen on her prancing charger
Following came the chariot of BorealiS
Rex, and then that of the fire king.
As the procession moved down Fourth
street and turned the corner onto Wa
basha, Mayor Smith emerged from the
city hall to tender to the royal visitors
the key of the city. BoreaIis ordered
the procession to halt as his chariot
approached this venerable looking man
with hair and beard quite as white as
his own, for he knew that he must be
some person Of great distinction, and
as the chariot halted, the mayor, with
uncovered head, said:
ION behalf of the people of my city,
[ bid you welcome, and / tender to you
the key of the city, that you may take
control of it and enjoy yourselves to
the fullest extent during pour short
stay with u.s.
The immense key was then handed
up by a beautiful young lady, and Bo-
reals Rex, in accepting it, said:
We accept the government of this city for
the brief period of this, cur carnival. We
have heard many things much to the credit
of its worthy inhabitants, but learn that
contrary to our system of rule, they are
afflicted with some burdens, which a worthy
burgher called Parker is endeavoring to
ameliorate. The limits imposed upon his
powers render his efforts futile and made
Quate. We will, therefore, adjust all these
questions at once and satisfactorily.
We shall abolish all taxes and assessments
We declare all debts, great and small, paid
and extinguished
We liberate all prisoners
We declare the sick well; the poor rich ;
and reduce the price of all drinks to five
cents.
Let everybody henceforth be happy.
The lord high chancellor then paid
his respects to the city, and promised
not to get drunk during his sojourn.
At this juncture the queen made a
demand, in the name of the new wom-
an, that she be given possession Of
the key, as she was the one best fitted
to adjudicate the question as to the
amount of joy that should be dispens-
ed during the sojourn. She said that
If it was left in possession of the king
or his lord high chancellor they would
monopolize the joy, and not give her
fair share, while if she had it she

make carnivaliers glad that they are
living under the rule of Borealis Rex
At o'clock this morning the curriers'
will continue the bonspiel. The sport
in that department yesterday was all
that had been anticipated, and they ex-
pect to have a good time today. The
bonspiel will have no competitive
matches during the forenoon, and the
undivided attention of all carnivaliers
can be given to it.
At high noon the first session Of the
mock legislature and the legislators
reunion will convene. This will be one
of the principal events of the carnival.

said he, because these two rulers are doing
so nobly in the way of making their subjects
happy, which is their mission upon earth. If
they fail in the least IN this, they must be-
ware of the wrath of the fire king and his
horned imps. The part Of the domain in
which live is very loyal to you, honorable
king, and you are going to hear from them in
pleasing way Minneapolis day.
The lord nigh chamberlain, from the land of
Duluth, said: 81 hold allegiance to a tribe of
Arabs but am nevertheless loyal to Borealis
Rex. The domain Of this good king is pecu-
liar because it embraces so many different
kinds of people. see before me Indians,

flats of Minneapolis. The locality from which

would take a like privilege herself.
The lord high chancellor at
tempted to persuade her to let it go

the key was turned over forthwith
The chancellor then said he would
give it to her, but she declined to re-
ceive it from any hands but those of
the mayor. The key was then turned
over to the mayor, who placed it in the
queens hands with a delicate compli-
ment to her beauty.
THANK you, mayor. You know a
good thing when you see it." replied
the queen, and the procession again be-
gan to move.
AS the fire kings chariot approached.
the mayor again took off his hat and
the fire king, seeing the venerable
white hairs on the head and face said ::
This must be some great man" and
he, too, ordered a halt, whereupon the
mayor said:
I'VE salute the fire king, and con-
graduate your highness on the degree
of tranquility now existing between
your self and your greatest foe. We
trust that when you return to your
realm you will not forget to enforce
the Monroe doctrine there
-ii' -telSOI dlil SOOQ our
hosts" responded the fire king, you
know the great power of fire, and you
know what a boon unto man it has
ever been. Now, we promise that so
long as you people want ice water we
shall remain the ally of the ice king.
but when you have grown tired of
ice water and want fire water, then
we alone are strictly with you"
The fire king then proposed three
cheers for Mayor Smith, which were
given with a vigor, as We're also three
for the fire king.
The time consumed in this inter-
change of greetings threw the fire
kings chariot far behind that of Bo-
reals Rex, so that the procession now
moved in the following order:
Platoon of Mounted Police.
