participate each day or light in some
great fete, such as could not be found
anywhere else in this part of the country.
In the now famous baby parade there Is Q
pagent that is unique. James A. Bradley,
founder Of Asbury Park, started the event
nearly twenty years g 70. Baby parades
have since been tried elsewhere, but
never with much success. and the Asbury
Pork baby parade is known from one
| ocean to the other in this country and has
a considerable reputation abroad.
The special events constituting carnival
week will begin Tuesday night next,
with the coronation of the queen OF the
carnival, Miss Jessie May Hazelrigg. This
young woman. who Is still III her teens.
is the daughter of Scott F, Hazelrigg,
president of the Richmond Light and
Traction Company, and of the Atlantic
Coast Electric Railway Company, which
n ms through this resort on Its way from
| Lonk Branch to Sea Girt. Miss Hazelrigg
is looked upon as IN ideal selection for the
honer.
Queen T1tania will reign over this city for
| the period of a week just rs absolutely as
| though she were in fact a queen and AS
bury Park a monarchy. To have 1OO,OOO
| people as dutiful subjects, even for but
| seven days, is enough to turn many a
young girls head, and surely is an expe-
| rience that comes to few young women
still In their teens. While the carnival Is
on Miss Hazelrigg will not appear In public
| except at court functions, when she will be
| attended by a half dozen maids of honor,
| other ladies' of her court and a scattering
of princes. M
A decided Improvement will be made this
| year In the presentation of most of the car
nival features, owing to the erection at the
foot Of Sunset Lake Of an immense stad-
ium with a seating capacity OF 10000. The
structure covers nearly the entire block in
front of the Asbury Park Auditorium
known as Auditorium square and extends
across Ocean venue. 1t Is here that the
| coronation ceremonies will occur Tuesday.
In the same place the court ball will take
place on a floor upon which 5000 may dance
with ease.
The carnival commission put the corona
tion ceremonies in professional hands for
the first time this year, when they secured
Tall Esen Morgan, leader of the great con-
certs and other entertainments at Ocean
Grove. He will stage the ceremonies on'a
platform 200 feet long and leo feet deep.
| Back Of this platform Is a great tier of
seats, upon which will be seated LOCO chill
dren, the same little Rough Riders and
japanese girls" who constitute the now
| famous Children's Choir at Ocean Grove.

a Grecian chorus of young women and also
a gypsy chorus, both in elaborate cos
| Tubes. These choruses will go through sew
ernl pretty drills, with limelights thrown
upon them, music being furnished by an
orchestra of 100 pieces.
OF course the central feature will be
the coronation of Titania VII. To the
coronation will come representatives of
France, Germany, Russia. Japan, China,

Next in Importance to the baby parao'
Of Thursday afternoon will be the masqu'
fete carnival the evening following. In
deed. many people. think this spectacle TN
most interesting. Certainly 1t Is the mos
exciting. There are certain Indication
that last years masque fete, great as !
wes will be completely outdone this sea
son. The fete is an event the hrst Oh tn'
series of which dates back only tnre'
years. but which grew into such instan
popularity that the last one saw 2O'Ooo pc,
sons in costume and such MARTY as CUM
scarcely be imagined.
The arrival will start early with a par
ade along the beach front and main street
of the city. beginning at s o'clock. INT
thousands in masque costume Will nave 10
the early part of the evening exclusiv
right along the two-mile esplanade. Pryor
Band will lead them in the procession. an
volunteer guards will put them int
marching order by companies, so that spec
ltators from n single viewpoint may have
fair chance at seeing all costumes.
Notwithstanding the license that is natur
ally given and taken upon such an occa
sion, in former seasons very little troubl
has resulted because of adequate polio
arrangement. There was but one arres
last season. Mayor Atkins has given no
tIce that this year the little 'ticklers, tin
feather busters on sticks, that were !
great popular use last season. will not b
allowed. 1t has been found that pickpock
cts make too ready use Of them. One Q
these clever craftsmen will stab an oil
gentleman in the nose with a bunch Q
feathers. and out will come his damon
stickpin. with the almost certainty tha
the one thus assaulted will know nothin
OF the robbery.
One of the new features OF the carnlva
characteristic of the bigness of the enter
prise, will be the importation to the amph
theatre of the big New York Hippodron
circus. The circus will perform Baby Pa
rude night-that is, Thursday night. Prett
