 Carriage Parade Beautiful Thing.
 savin Rock went down on the records yesterday as holding one of the largest and most successful baby shows ever held in the country. Those at Asbury Park, which have a national reputation, were quite put in the shade in many re- spects by the local show. Nearly six hundred children entered and each one got the handsome silver napkin ring off, fered by the management. It is con servatively estimated that between 25,- 900 and 30,000 persons attended
 The entire show went off without a hitch and reflected deserving credit on the managers. It, was no easy matter to handle and judge for special prizes such a large number of babies but that the judges Mrs. John T. Hendricks, Mrs. A. T. Hoffman, Mrs. J. H. Adams and Mrs. c. Porzenheim--gav decided satisfaction was manifested by the cheering and applauding which greeted the little winners when exhibited from the band stand in the strong arms Of Benjamin Mann of M. Mann & Bro, who announced through megaphone the various lucky ones. .--
 The carriage parade was the most picturesque feature of the show. Over fifty vehicles were entered and they were decorated with extreme lavishness and beauty. Only one regret need be expressed and that is that all could not win. Some twenty-five children got lost in the multitude but they were cared for by the managers until the parents put in an appearance Several were stood upon chairs in the grand stand in view of every one and this greatly aided fathers and mothers in recovering their little ones. There was no sickness and the services of the trained nurse were required only in one or two instances to quiet some of the lost ones.
