Mr. Horace Smith had charge Of the
affair for the committee. and his efforts
to please met with unbounded success.
After the walk the crowd was asked
to choose the winners, but lit was most
difficult thing to do, in view of the tact
that the contestants were experts and
almost equally as artistic.
The costumes were bright and gay. and
the agility of each participant was the
acme of grace.

wore a sun bonnet. which she carried in
her hand. while a nice. clean bandanna
