was opened at Naval Lodge building last
evening under the direction of Naval

preparations for the event for several
months, and the result of their endeavors
was reflected in the success of the initial
evening

ing was aglow with light and color from
nightfall until midnight and the merry
laughter and light gayety of those who
attended and participated in the bazaar
AIDED In making it one of the most at
tractive places in the city.

eu oy the officers of the lodge. and from
that hour the Ice Palace, with its dazzling
glow of light reflected and increased by
the pendent stalactites and snowy white
merino decorations, the Dewey Parlors.

bunting and American flags, and the two
large nails with scores of booths attended
Dy fatr ladies and misses we're alive and
merry with the movement and subdued
laughter Of the crowds. The gathering
was above all things remarkable for its
plcturesqueness, brought about in part by
the costumes worn by the participants
and the small scarlet fezzes which deco-
raIed the heads OF the visiting Shriners.

In the lower hall of the building Prof.
Edward Oliver and his contestants gave a
cake walk. The centres of attraction were
the two large halls, in which the various
booths were located. and, the details of
decoration in these were SO artisticalIy

by the attendants While the entertain

beautiful ice palace, the lodge room was
transformed into a brilliant conservatory
