The committee desires to return
thanks to the mothers of the babes
for presenting the little ones, and
trusts the babes may grow to honor
their love and alteration.
The turkey presented by Mr.. and
Mrs. Oscar Sodergreen was sold at
auction to Mrs. Roger. who paid So
for 1t, after spirited bidding.
The prize for the handsomest o S
tune worn by a child in the carnival
was awarded to the little daughter of
Mr.. n Mrs. J. E. Winslow. Many of
the other prizes were not awarded,
there being such a crowd as to render
vote-getting a very difficult matter.
When the curtain rose upon the par
Elephants in the grand march, the
spectacle revealed vas brilliant n
beautiful, but it was with the greatest
difficulty that an aisle for the passage
of the procession was cleared through
the densely packed hall, and, S
quently, much of the effect of the gorg-
eous pageant was lost, many being I'M
Gram officiated as grand marshal. The
procession was led by the king and
queen Of the carnival, Hon. Edward
~lvinson and Mrs. John w. Ernest, who
were followed by their crown and train
bearers, the royal retinue of lords and
ladies', the queen of the fairies and her
miniature hosts of elfs and butterflies,
and Mother Goose and her motley
flock. the parade being completed by
flower girls, shepherdesses and frogs
galore. The company marched out
the entrance into the street and return
ed to the stage through the hall where
the royal pair were enthroned, and
subsequently entertained by their sub
~jects. The maids of honor and the
court gentlemen danced the French
minuet before the king and then TWEEN
ty beautiful little tots in court cos
tune danced the Oxford minuet to the
evident pleasure OF their royal majes-
ties and the spectators alike. The
drill by the shepherdesses was very
pretty, and the Wyoming State Glee
club was obliged to respond to an en-
core. Mrs. Trumbull, Mrs. Gibson,
Miss Kleeman and Miss Burke con-
~tributed vocal solos to the program
and Prof. Merz rendered a violin solo.
The concert completed, the king and
queen received the homage Of their
subjects. later leading the dance. Mr..
%Ivinson wore a court costume of black
velvet and royal purple, richly garni-
tured with white satin and gold lace.
Doublet and CATERS we're of black
velvet, as was the cape, the latter be-
ing lined with royal purple satin. The
kingly robe was black velvet trimmed
with ermine, its lining being velve, in
the royal hue. The monarch's golden
crown was set with massive diamonds,
rubies, emeralds and %sapphires, and
his coat was also %profusely studded
with Jewels. Mrs. Ernest looked in
deed queenly in an exquisite imported
robe of Point d'Alencon lace combined
with gold thread in floral patterns,
which was worn over a dainty silk
slip Of taffeta and chiffon. Her court
robe was of crimson velvet, lined with
white satin and ermine trimmed, and
she wore a richly jeweled crown. 1t
is manifestly impossible to give in de
tail the other costumes worn, 70 num-
erous were they, but they were beau
tiful and effective, and made an admir-
able setting for the magnificent CO.'S
tunes of the king and queen.
