THE FANTASTICALS."
A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION OF THANKS
GIVING DAY MASQUERADING
AND BEGGING.
To the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir An inquiry in The Tribune Of November ~
concerning the origin of the "Masqueradng ana
Begging by street boys on Thanksgiving Day can,
! think. be answered by the fact that many years
ago. during the early fortes II was customary
with the butchers of Washington Market to cele-
brate that day by parade on horseback through
the streets, dressed in every imaginable kind OF
masquerading attire-some women on side sad
dies, and some Indians-preceded by a band OF
noisy horns which they call the sheet Iron brass
band They designated themselves The ran
taStcals''
AS a body the Washington Market men were
famous that time for their fine horses, and took
seeming delight in their exhibit-doubtlesq the fore
runner of the modern Horse Show They were
always mounted horseback. and there was, OF
course no begging" To the present day the
Erotesque attire has survived-with street gam
ins''-the same doubtless being handed down for
several generations through hearing tales told by
descendants of witnesses of those days, but the
old custom. once amusing has now degenerated
into an offensive form of money begging.
The writer, when child, saw the old and orig
ina display many times, and II any other reader or
The Tribune has better suggestion to offer con-
cerning the origin Of obsolete custom that
