and the Boston Carnival club, last
evening inaugurated the winter carni-
val season of 80 by a grand uniformed
parade about the city, which was fol-
lowed by rousing rally at the head
| quarters Of the Carnival association,
which caused the directors an excess of
| joy and to congratulate themselves
upon the splendid enthusiasm exhibit
ed at this early stage of the seasons
festivities. Promptly at 8 o'clock the
three clubs, numbering in all about
$50 members, formed in front of the
Ryan hotel, and began their march
about the city. At the head of the
column marched the Lafayette Snow
Shoe club to the inspiring music of
fife and drum corps, belonging to the
organization. Next in line came the
center of attraction, the unique and
picturesque Redmen. In the lead was
the chief medicine man, with painted
face and fantastic head dress, his char
acterZation completed by a typical
suit Of buckskin. Following the medi
cine man were the rest of the band
no less weird in their habiliments than
their stalwart leader. In the rear
marched the Bostons, sixty strong,
headed by second fife and drum corps
All along the line of march the peo-
pie had gathered to witness the event,
and listening to their cheers and gay
jestings the spirit of the former carni-
walls SO permeated the spectators and
participants as to augur the most sue
cessful elimination of the present un-
dertaking. The parade concluded at
|
three cheers were given for the carni-
val of SO and the board Of directors.
Then followed an invasion of carnival
headquarters such as this season had
not yet witnessed. The members of
each club filed into the rooms where
they were welcomed by Assistant Sec
retary Ryder, the board of directors
and large crowd of citizens, many
of whom were ladies, who had assem-
bled to enjoy the occasion. Here
marching clubs were joined by some
forty members of the Minnesota Skat-
ing club. Following several lively
pieces by the combined drum corps,
Judge Cory addressed the gathering
on behalf of the board Of directors.
A hearty welcome was extended to
the different clubs, and their enthusi-
astic spirit and handsome appearance
warmly complimented. Carnival head
quarters, said Judge Cory, were always
at the disposal of the clubs, and they
would be made welcome at any and
all times. Judge Cory next introduced
A. r. Pardee, the representative of the
Eastern firm, who will furnish the
pyrotechnics for the stofming and cap
ture of the stockade. Mr.. Pardee
stated that st. Paul had always borne
!, f,I, 1f,f fa,, 0f
tertainment and tireless energy in all
previous undertakings, and predicted
a season Of unsurpassed enjoyment and
pleasure for the people of the Twin
Cities and the crowds of visitors who
would attend this years carnival.
Many people in the East, said he,
were already making preparations to
attend the festivities In regard to the
displays of fireworks in connection with
the carnival Mr.. Pardee stated that
there would be an unlimited number Of
set pieces Of various description and
design. These would be the ordinary
attractions. For the grand finale to
the carnival season, which will con-
sist in the assault, capture and burning
of the stockade, the gentleman stated
that arrangements had been made to
present pyrotechnic display which
has never been surpassed in this or
any other country.
George Thompson was next intro
duced and spoke in vigorous language
of the spirit of seeming Indifference
manifested towards the carnival plans
by some few individuals Notwith-
standing this, Mr.. Thompson assured
the club members that every indication
pointed to the unqualified success of
the carnival and that the directors
would use every means toward aiding
in an enterprise which promised so
much healthful enjoyment to the citi-
zens and such substantial benefit to
the city.
Following Mr.. Thompson's enthusi-
astically received remarks, the Red
men indulged in wild and weird war
dance such as is seldom witnessed
within the confines of civilization. The
lights were turned low, and as dark
ness enshrouded the room three
braves" rushed from the medicine
ring, and, with shouts and whoops,
captured Judge Cory who in a twink
ling was bound and helpless in the
midst of the "savages." Round and
round they danced, when, at a given
signal, the effect was heightened and
a realistic touch given the orgies by
the igniting of a quantity of Greek
fire. Messrs. Tenny and Wolf, of the
Boston club concluded the evenings
| enjoyment by rendering several music
al selections.
The employees OF Schuneman & Evans
yesterday notified the board of direc-
tors that they had organized Car
