THE ! ]! MASQUB
PARADE,

Hundreds Of farmers and thous ands
Of citizens saw the masquc parade last
evening and although the oplnion of
many was that 1t did not surpass that
of last year, it was nevertheless q
jolly and novel procession.
Floats occupied a conspicuous place
| In the line An abundance OF prizes
offered for features stimulated the
participants in the carniva! to vie
with each other In original and fan.
tastic garb, md many lndicr0us COS.
tunes thus were evolved.
| The procession was Kaleidoscope
mas of color, the blending Of all t,ues
imaginable, and collection Of all
manner of conceivable shapes and
forms representing the ludicrous side
of humanity IN the effort to appeal to
the humorous vein OF the spectators.
Several organizations in the carnival
relieved the effect Of nassed array
Of masquers by giving exhibition
drills at points Of vantage along the
route.
Long before the hour at which the
line was to move the streets were
thronged with an interested multi
tude, representing all parts Of the
state, and the adjacent counties in
Pennsylvania and Maryland. Incom.
ing trains brought visitors by the
score to witness the revelry promised
durlng'the night, and folks from tho
surrounding country drove inta the
CITY.
1t surely was a gala time in the old
town, with enough life and enthusi.
asm injected into it to have q reac-
tionary effect that is expected TO
prove beneficial. 1t gave humanity
in general an opportunity for a night
off," with a free show as the special
attraction, and l,uma nifty availed II.
self OF the opportunity.
The carnival procession was form.
cd on West Eleventh Street, and on
the streets running at right angles
thereto and promptly at 8 80 O'Clock
two taps were sounded on the City
Hall bell, the signal for the mummers
to open their festive march.

Relative to the Collectorship OF the Pors
Of Wilmington. which Is still tillsd by
Democrat, the Regular Republicans are
likely to urge the appointment OF Robers
