height of his enjoyment, the elephant sud-

was a wild scramble during which the ele-

In the Sixth Division.

1t was a rare piece of luck on the part
Of the Karnival Krewe when its officers
succeeded in interesting the Chinese in
making display. 1t was said by some at
the time that it was folly to give up an
entire division to them. The same OBJ

they saw the division come into view, and

legion than did Charlie Yung Jem, who
had the honor of being division marshal of
the sixth, or Chinese. division. With him
rode his aide, Gee You. Both of them have
been in America for years, and they real
ized how thoroughly they were surprising
the people. and they enjoyed it immensely.
Over seventy-five of their countrymen
were in the line. and every one had bought
a new outfit for the occasion. Every bit of
ribbon that showed, every piece of their
clothing seen, was bright and new, much
of it of elegant material. In all the long
division there was not a dingy feature, not
one thing that marred the bright and strik-
ing harmony of colors. 1t was proud day
for the Cinnamon.
Division Marshal Yem and has aide, You,
wore bright new suits of the Chinese pat
tern. Each wore small black cap. They
were excellent horsemen, and handled their
spirited mounts well. In carriage follow
ing them came three Cinnamon wearing the
national colors of China. their suits being
copies of those worn by the wealthy men
of the empire They were Wing Wah, a
short, fat-faced, good-natured man, whose
suit Of light blue was very snowy; Quong
Sang, tall man, also in blue, and Wing
Wah, who wore brown. He was tall and
very brown. Each Of them carried fans of
wonderful coloring, such as would be val
ued highly by the pets of society. Their
caps were of red and black.
Then came something never seen in Kan
sas City before, a real Chinese band. The
local Cinnamon had sent to Chicago for the
leader. He had been in the city for two
weeks drilling his musical organtZdt ton.

ECHO.

While it is claimed that the most wonderful echo in the world is in the castle of Simonette, two miles from Milan, Italy, which repeats the echo of a pistol shot sixty times, here in Amer ica we have an echo which is much more remarkable, the universal echo that has been repeating for years the praises bestowed upon that favorite and popular comedy, "Ole Olson." It returns this year upon more elab- crate scale than ever before and judg- ing from the many nice things said about it elsewhere it is doing the ban her business of its career. The cast Is an exceptionally strong one-em- bracing all the old favorites-and nearly all the originals Ben Hen dricks is again the 'fOle," and Miss St. George Hussey, Mrs O'F1anni- gam," two names alone sufficient to justify a high standing of merit The rest of the cast are equally clever The great feature is the bicycle race scene which has set the thatrical world to thinking to what xtent stage realism will be carried. The wonder ful bicyclist, John Lawson, better known as 1.-The Terrible Swede," ap- pears at every performance and con- tests against all corners in a startling event, making a thrilling effort to smash his record.
