ASBURY PARK, N. j., August II, 1903.
The carnival committee, having in charge
the baby parade and its incidental func-
lions, are making rapid progress toward
the realization of the star feature of the
Park season. The new feature of the car
niyal, the masked fete," is being carefully
arranged. The maskers will rendezvous
at the Asbury avenue pavilion and will
proceed by way of the board walk to the
| Queens pavilion, near Fifth avenue,
where they will be reviewed by her majes-
ty, her court and the distinguished visi-
tors at the resort. Following the masked
parade there will be series of entertain
ments and balls at the leading hotels.
Among those which will entertain are the
Coleman House, Brunswick, Columbia,
Monmouth, Lafayette, West End and
Plaza.
The carnival held on Thursday evening
was distinctly beautiful spectacle. Near
ly 80 boats, floats and bargeS were in the
parade, which was headed by an immense
barge, in which were seated the members
of the beach band. The boats made a
double circuit of the lake, and during their
progress several hundred dollars worth of
fireworks were discharged. 1t is estimated
that over $4,000 people witnessed the car
nival. Cash prizes, ten in number, We're
awarded the more handsomely decorated
boats.
