Denver, Sept. 26.-lThe Carnival is In
full blast again and the town is full OF
visitors. They I'LL the streets, crowd
the stores and are evidently having n
good time. 1t iSSstimated by railroad
men that fully hoo people have been
brought into Denver during the last
two days. Every train that arrived In
Denver yesterday was crowded. Men,
women and children were standing up
in the aisles OF the coaches. On some
of the trains 1t would have been diff
cult to find room for another passenger.
The crowds will be increased to-day by
further arrivals. From reports received
yesterday there Is every indication
that the roads entering this city will
have the biggest weeks business they
have ever handled. People are COM
ing, or preparing to come, from every
direction within II radius of $50 miles.
The Festival Of Mountain and Plain
formally opened yesterday. A new
feature-the street fair-was opened to
the public. but the displays were In IL
rather incomplete stage. Attractive
booths had been erected In the down
town streets which, with their asphalt
pavements, are admirably adpated to
the purpose. When all the displays are
In place the fair will b>a great attrac-
ton. The fruit 0cxhibR is expected TO
be especially fine.
The formal opening of the Carnival
consisted of the crowning of Queen
Thalia, Miss Katherine Symes, daugh-
ter of the late Congressman SymeS.
was honored by selection for the proud
position this year, and amid great dis
play and pomp she was enthroned at
the grand stand last night.
The queen Is beautiful and was cor-
geously costumed. Bedecked with Jew
els and costly robes, she formed an ef.
fective center for n dazzling array of
brillancy. Her blonde hair, adorned
with n veil and the crown of silver and
diamonds set on handsome type of
American beauty.
The throne itself was picturesquely
grand. The floor was covered with
rich carpets and the drapings of the
canopy Were of silks and satins of the
finest make. Colored lights lent addi-
tional beauty to the throne and the en-
tire arena was ablazc with the rays of
incandescent and are lights strung
with artistic effect about the seats. The
capitol was mass of tastefully ar
ranged lights and streamers. which
made II magnificent background for the
scene at the foot of the hill.
OF course. the maids of honor played
an important part in the ceremony and
afterwards n reception and ball in
their honor was given at the Brown
Palace hotel.
