1t has been stated that Miss Russell,
who leads in the race for carnival
queen. is a Scotch lassie. This is
mistake. The young lady is a native
of Pennsylvania, and never saw the
land O. cakes although her people
are from Scotland. She is proud of
being an American, and among her
warmest supporters are those who are
not eligible to membership in the Cal
edonian society.

magnificent float for the floral festival.
| 1t is in the form of a basket. twenty
feet long and sixteen feet high. and is

! dies, each representing a well-known
| flower Another design of the art di-
rector's, which is much admired, is a
reproduction of the Eagle gate, be-
meath the arches of which stands a
heroic figure of Utah, and at her feet
a beehive. to which she is pointing ex-
J pressively.
