In blaze Of pyrotechnic glory her
majesty repeated last night on a small
scale what at one time. and on large
scale, had been the glory Of the Venetian
republic
The whole world has adopted, with va
rious notifications the picturesque and
exciting pastime of the regatta, which
originated among the lagoons at an
early period. These were not, however,
held frequently, for only forty-one took
place during some five centuries. The
first was given in 1916 and the last in
1857. in honor of the luckless ArchduSe
Maximilian's marriage with Princess
Charlotte Of Belgium
The most sumptuous and magnificent
regatta of all was that given in 1856 by
Duke Ernest OF Brunswick. This prince
having sold a great part of his subjects
to the republic for use in its wars against
the Turk, generously spent their price
in the costly and edifying entertain
ments of which Venice had already be-
come the scene. The Judgment Of
Paris" and the Triumph of the Marine
Goddesses" had been represented at his
expense on the Grand canal, and now
the Triumph of Neptune" formed a
principal feature in the gayeties of his
regatta. Nearly the whole of the salt
water mythology was employed in the
ceremony. An immense wooden whale
supported a structure of dolphins and
Tritons, surmounted by a statue of Nep-
tune and drawn by sea-horses, moved
from the Piazetta to the Palazzo Fos-
carl, where numbers Of sirens sported
about in every direction till the regatta
began. The whole company of the de.

advanced and one brilliant piece after
another appeared in the sparkling gems
of fire.
But as the evening waned the program
ended.
The carriages were drawn in line as the
court-her majesty leading the way,
with her prime minieter-came out of the
boathouse. still cleaning in its circle Of
prismatic lights.
The faithful lancers stood like senti-
nels in the distance. The crowd cheered
again and again as the train Of car
riages moved off, but the music of the
band swelled out over the waters OF the
lake

IN PROTECTING GLORY
HER MAJESTY GLIDES OVER
WESTLAKES WATERS
An Immense Crowd Line the Banks

Grand Display

Myriads Of lights dancing about over
thousands of people lining the banks; a
fountain sending its spray far in air and
glistening and scintillating with green,
red and yellow lights by turns, or all
three together; fireworks sputtering on
one bank, the Catalina band playing on
the other, and at one end Of the irregular
oval, in a radiance of electric light, La
Reina and her faithful retainers.
Such, in brief, was the scene at West
lake park last night, when the water
carnival made a most delightful change
to the previous ceremonies and the cool,
quiet darkness a grateful relief after the
glare and wild wind of the day. From 6
o'clock on, every car on every line
leading parkward was crammed to suffo-
cation, and by s o'clock the banks of the
lake in all directions were literally
alive. The six floats had been trans
ferred and anchored at different points
on the lake; were lighted with flaming
torchee, and cleaned with weird effect

above all, cool and wet, and the colored

Properly speaking, however, the cere-
monies of last evening more closely ap-
preached in character the Venetian
"freschi," which once formed the chief
splendor of festive occasions in Venice
and may yet sometimes be seen. The
"fresco" is a procession of boats with
music and lights. Two immense barges,
illuminated with hundreds of paper Ian
terms, carry the military bands; the
boats of the civil and military dignita-
ries follow, and then the gondolas of such
citizens as choose to take part in the dis
play-though since 1853 no Italian, un-
less government official has been seen
in the procession. No gondola has less
than two lanterns. and many have eight
or ten, shedding mellow lights of blue
and red, and purple, over uniforms and
breathe from their instruments music

kind in the world; and as the procession

AS the royal party approached the
park the great Multitude in enthusi-

it was with difficulty q way could be

The throne of her majesty had been
made on the top Of the boat house,

A new idea was introduced, quite
accidentally, Too, in "The Fast
Mail" during a performance at Hav.
Inns theater. The scene of the
freight train was on, and the head
brakeman had just spoken his lines,
and turning the switch, was about
to leave the stage, when the new
stage carpenter who had charge of
the big engine, prematurely started
it, and of course the property men
in charge of the freight cars, not
getting their proper cue, were left,
and the train parted. BY singu-
lar coincidence, the actor and stage
carpenter had been in times gone
by trainmen, a fact unknown to
each other, Acting upon the old
impulse, the former gave the prop
er signal to back, which was
promptly done by the stage carpen-
ter, The train was then coupled
and made up, After the proper
lines were spoken, the train pulled
out amid a tumult Of applause,
Manager Carter congratulated the
actor on the manner in which he
saved the scene, and hereafter it
