The concluding day of the Gypsy En-
campment was even more of splendid
success than the first. The lady man
ayers deserve the utmost credit for the
satisfactory outcome of their charitable
enterprise. While the administration
of the affair was in their hands and the
result is mostly due to them, mention
should at least be made of the many
who contributed their services and time
and financial support toward making
it a success. The names of the benevo-
lent ladies who assisted are too numer-
Gus for publication, as are also the names
of the merchants and others who fur
nished the substantial effects Of the en-
campment. Suffice 1t to say that the
combined efforts of these generous
hearted people, with those who actually
took part have resulted so we'll that a
most enjoyable social fete was had and
a good round sum accumulated toward
the maintenance of the Stimson Lafay-
cite Industrial school.
Yesterday afternoon the camp was
under infant rule-at least the infantile
faction occupied the most prominent
part In the days proceedings. The ba-
bies' coaching parade was the feature
of the day. John F. Francis acted as
grand mashal of the Juvenile procession,
and he distinguished himself as much in
this position as he did in the more ex-
tensive duties Of president of La Fiesta.
Mr.. Francis was aided by Sumner r.
Hunt.
The scene was even more magnificent
than on the previous evening. All SWELL
dom was out in force. Fond mammas and
proud papas were there also, and each
took the deepest interest in the splendid
array of baby loveliness. Besides being
unique the parade was beautiful be-

sible shade and pattern, such as only
the inventive minds of devoted mothers
could invent. They rode in all sorts of
turn drawn in almost every possi-
BILE way.
And the youngsters, those who were
old enough, for some were mere in
fants, seemed to take a personal de-
light In the affair. which added much
to its life and interest. Each tiny par
ticipant was given rosette when he
entered. and with that beaming smile
of delight and final stroke to adjust
some detail of his costume the liliputian
cavalcade began.

after the appointed time, and from the
first move passed off with commend
