patronage of the Midway showed a
marked Improvement. All of the shows
have been improved by added facili-
ties and adptation to their surround

to make the affair most enjoyable to
all. 4
The feature of yesterday was the
double. wedding which united Anton
Aydt to Miss Anna Klema and Anthony
Winter to Miss Natalie Lamoine, and
in spite of some few bitches, this event
proved an interesting and pleasing por

fore the hour appointed the grand
stand and bleachers were we'll filled,
hundreds of persons who were unable
to get seats conveniently close, stood in
left and center fields as close as the
ropes would permit.
Mayor Smith and other distinguish
ed personages occupied seats inside the
ropes and close to the. stage.
Contracting Parties Arrive.
When the Il parade arrived at the
grounds the bridal party was admitted
through one of the side gates conven-

corted by detail of police, pushed
through the crowd to the. stage. Their
appearance provoked hum of excla-
nations and comments throughout the
vast crowd of spectators.

emonial portion of the marriage serv-
ice with an address to the contracting
parties, in which he complimented the
carnival associations upon the success
of the event and gavetle young ipeo-
pie before. him much advice as to the
future.
The parade in the evening, although
short, was a most interesting spec
tacle and was witnessed by the larg-
est crowd that has turned out since
the coronation.
The four floats, representing the sea-
sons, presented a most pleasing sight.
In the first of these floats, barge like
structure, Spring was typified by the
queen of the May, surrounded by
twenty little girls dressed in light
summer frocks, and singing songs sug-
gestive of the Springtime.
Summer was pictured in float dec
arated with floral arbor in which APP
peared a very small cupid, who shot
arrows in all directions On the for
ward part of this float were a number
of shepardesses, whose singing was
most agreeable.
The Autumn float was trimmed with
leaves and branches, and showed Bac-
chuS beside wine caSk and surrounds
ed by jewellers who sang drinking
songs
Winter was represented on a float
peopled by King Boreas and mixed
company of polar bears and demons
Following the four floats were car
riages in which rode the two bridal
parties.
