To Be Worn by the knights During
the Carnival-Torchcs of the
Yelled Prophet Work

An enthusiastic meeting Of the knights
of the Golden Horseshoe was held at
the T. P. A headquarters last night,
transacted.
The selection of costumes came up for
consideration These suits will be of
she cavalier style with cap and heavy
ostrich plume. The doublets will bet
heavily embroidered with gold and lace,
and will be the most beautiful and at
tractive ever seen in like parade in the
South.
THE KING.
The Paradcs Committee reported that
they had found It impossible to select a
King of the Carnival, as none OF them
could take the responsibility of selecting
a person to ill this important position,
and they therefore referred the matter
to the knights of the Golden Horseshoe.
that they might act upon the matter.t
After much discussion 1t was decided
to have the King elected by popular
vote. These votes are TO re cast at the
Carnival headquarters during the next
two weeks, and in this way the public
will decide who shall reign over them.
FIREAEN.
Chief Fuller OF the Fire Department,
said yesterday morning that it would be
impracticable to have the Fire Depart

but that a portion of the department
might be able to participate in the
parade.
Everything is progressing nicely in
Carnival circles and the work On the Den
of Rex has been completed. The inn

Den and to-day the subjects Of His
Majesty will begin their secret work OF
decorating and adjoining them, SO that

parade arrives they viii be brought
from their hiding place to startle the eyes
OF the assembled thousands.
The Parade Committee has purchased

the South African war is now conferred
in the running fight in progress between
the burghers. retreating from the south
