queen OF the carnival made her en-
trance. So great was the crush that
the grand entry had been made and
the court of honor had been formed at
the coronation exercises before the
press at the gates had been relieved
and the attendant subjects had the
privilege OF the central promenade.
The fife and drum corps of the high
school cadets led the procession, fol
lowed by president and board of di-
rectors of the festival.
Next came the splendidly bedecked
members of Troop B Of Denver in their
new hussar uniforms, under the com
mand of Captain u. T. Hin. The first
platoon preceded the queen. the sec
ond platoon formed the rear guard.
Then came the royal party for which
the thousands had been waiting
Queen Mary and her chamberlains and
waiting and pages. As the
royal party stepped into the arena
there arose a cheer of the thousands
who did homage 10 the bearty of the
spectacle and the regal splendor of
Miss Mary Louise Malone, the consort
of King Carnival.

light in the arena and the stirring mu
