HISTORY OF THE CARNIVAL SOCIETY

The history of the Birmingham Carnival Society is written in one series of success, since it's incipency.
 At regular meeting of the Birmingham Turn Verein in November, 1895, the idea was conceived, when the question of de- vising plan to attract visitors to the city, came up under general discussion.
 It was wisely suggested that carnival celebration similar to that held in New Orleans and Mobile would be feasible, and a committee composed of A. Schillinger, William Recking, c. T. Rainbow, L.. Braun and D. Lesser was at once appoint ed to confer with the Commercial club, and to ascertain if that body would indorse and assist in the enterprise.
 The proposition was enthusiastically re- ceived by the Commercial club, which at once elected committee composed of T. l.. McGowan, S. Klotz, J. A. Roy, w. G. Estes, and T. Hodgson to assist in devsing ways and means of holding the first Mardi Gras celebration in Birmingham, which would occur on Tuesday, Feb. IS, 1S96
 These committees at once set to work and met with great success among the public spirited citizens of Birmingham who gave their moral and financial aid to the enter prise. meeting was soon called for the organization of Carnival Society, which resulted in the election of the following of- f1cers:
 President-E. Lesser
 vice-President-T. l.. McGowan.
 Secretary-L. Braun.
 Treasurer--B. Steiner.
 Grand Marshal-E. J. McCrossin.

THE REX BALL.

The Rex ball will be the crowning feature of the Carnival and in this years celebra- tion will be one of peculiar interest to every citizen of Birmingham. Aside from be- ing a scene of great brilliancy, it will eel ebrate the opening of the big Auditorium, which has been rushed through to comple- tion just for this event.
 The great galleries will be thronged with spectators all looking on the kalaidescopic scene of gaiety below them, and the whole affair will be remembered as an epoch marking date in the amusements of Bir- mingham.
 Rex will enter the royal ball room at 9:50 o'clock, the floor having been previous ly cleared by the cavalry company. At 10 o'clock sharp, he will enter the rear door and raising his queen from her seat, he will lead her through the grand march, the lords of his court escorting the queens maids of honor.
 After the grand march the royal couple will take their places on their thrones, and will review the grand march of the mask CTS. after which the dancing programme will begin.
 The following musical selections will be rendered for the dancers of the ball by Grambs' orchestra:
 Royal Grand March, Oriental "from

 The different committees set to work en- ergetically and preparation were at once begun for the festivities. Money was lit- erally subscribed, the merchants set about
 preparing floats to represent their respect
 i've lines of business, advertising agents
 were sent in all directions and the rail-
 roads became interested in the celebration and granted excursion rates. When the eventful day arrived the suc- cess of the celebration was emphasized in the immense crowds which thronged the streets of the city and the celebration of the Mardi Gras festivities became perma- nent. The mystery of Rex Vulcan I. was solved when at the grand ball, given in his honor,
 disclosed his identity to be none other
 than Col Erwin Schillinger.
 Preparations for the Carnival celebration
 of 1897 were begun immediately after the
 close of the first celebration and were ener-
 getically pushed to a successful conclusion
 under the presidency of D. Lesser, who

 The preparations were begun under un- favorable circumstances, @ deficiency of nearly LOGO from last year being the great the work was taken up systematically and the result is a surprise to the most sanguine friends of the society. J. An thony German, practical and artistic dec orator, was engaged to build the floats and his work will be a revelation to Birming- ham.
 Through the energy of Hon. J. A. Van Hoose, a leading spirit in the Auditorium company, and also in the Carnival Society, that magnificent structure has been com pleted sufficiently to hold the grand Rex ball on Tuesday night
 The floor, which is the largest in the city, will hold 800 couple and the building will be beautifully decorated in honor of the occasion.
 The identity of Rex Vulcan III. and his Royal Queen, will remain a secret until the night of the Rex ball, when they will unmask and meet their subjects face to face.
 The geratest credit should be given to the officers of the Carnival Society and par ticularly to MT. Lesser its president for the success of the Carnival which is as- sured.

 The celebration for this year is by far the most elaborate that has been attempted by the society and promises to rival in splendor the displays of our sister cities.
 At the annual meeting of the society MT. Lesser was again called to the presidency, a tribute to his ceaseless energy in behalf of the celebration.
 The following additional officers were elected who have been untiring in their eff forts toward the success of the celebra- tion: 4ss
