sARAToaA's FLORAL FETE.
Great Preparation for This Remark.
able Annual Festivity-A Grand
Excursion from Scranton, Wilkes.
Barre and Vicinity.

Saratoga is making great prepara-
tlons for her annual floral fete, which
occurs September 4, and 6. and no
expense is being spared to make the
coming occasion excel all others, al
though people who witnessed the fete
last year thought II almost impossible
TO surpass II. King Rex, who was the
central figure in the New Orleans
Mardi Gras, is now at Saratoga super
intending the preparations. on his trim
north he was attended by one hundred
courtiers and scores of pretty maids.
and he says that he proposes to dupli-
cate the New Orleans Mardi Gras fete
at Saratoga, and open the eyes of the
north to the gorgeous and beautiful
way In which festivals are conducted
in sunny Louisiana. He has with him
all the knights and ladies who have
made the New Orleans Mardi Gras the
eighth wonder of the world, and who
now propose TO make the Saratoga
floral fete the ninth. Two months ago
his resplendant floats and golden chari-
OTIS and bejeweled professional robes
were sent to the New York watering
place, to be used in the coming fete,
and the people of this vicinity will have
an opportunity to witness a duplica-
tion of Louisiana's marvellous exhibit
ton. In the grand parade, which oc-
ours September s. there will be more
than twenty floats, covered with nat
ural flowers and costing from $1,000 to
$4,000 each. Upon these there will he
| over one hundred characters in the
| richest costumes. The scene is one
which beggars description. At the
grand ball, which follows in the even
ing, dancing takes place on a great
| floor covering two blocks, and is super
intended by committee of one hum
lred ladies and one hundred gentle
men, whose costumes are literally COW
| cred with flowers set forth by tiny
| electric lights. On this, the principal
| days of the fete September and 8, a
grand excursion will be run over the
Delaware and Hudson railroad to ac-
| commodate the large number of people
| Of Scranton, Wilkes Barre and these
valleys who wish to witness the won-
| derful pageant and the grand ball
which follows. Trains leave the Della =
ware and Hudson station, Scranton. at
$50 a. m. and 1852 p m. The price of
| tickets, covering the round trip, has
been placed at the remarkably small
| figure of 81 for adults and 81 for chill
dren, and those who take advantage OF
this opportunity will not only be per-
mitted to witness the grandest display
of the age, but will also visit the great
est summer resort in the country
Saratoga Springs. The excursion will
be conducted by the Father Mathew
T. A. b. society. and hotel accommo-
dations have been arranged for 1000
guests.
