AsBURY PARK. N. j.. August "a, 1907
This has been a week of almost constant
preparation for the baby parade festivities
and such work has hindered to a slight de-
gree participation in the usual round of re-
sort pleasures. Not only was the time
taken Of that comparatively small number
of people who will be actively engaged In
the carnival proceedings. such as those en-
tering infants and participating in the court
ceremonies, but also of close to half the
summer visitors here, for that large pro-
portion II is estimated has been making cos
tunes for Fridays masque fete. All over
town this has been heard of. The shops
and stores were ransacked for strange and
unusual material the fore part of the week,
and even at the public library people were
found looking up colored plates of medic
val costumes. and other fancy dress.
The initiatory event of carnival week
transpired last night. when more than 1000
canoes. rowboats and launches dotteu the
surface of Deal Lake. between Park ave-
nue. and Main street bridges. all of them in
holiday trim.
Coronation ceremonies, attending the first
appearance of Miss Jessie May Hazelrigg,
the Queen Titania of this years baby pa
rade carnival, will be held in the huge new
! amphitheater, at the foot of Sunset Lake.
gram completely different from that of
other years is promised by Mr.. Tall Esen
Morgan, leader Of Ocean Groves entertain
ments. He was engaged this year by the
ASbury Park carnival commission as the
first professional to manage the event. The
coronation will be staged on a platform
200 feet long, at 'one end Of the stadium
seating 10000 people. The queens court
ball at this same place will follow the next
evening. 1t will be a great spectacle, for
floor has been laid over tie entire block
and will accommodate 5000 dancers. Great
searchlights will be played upon the floor
for the benefit of onlookers who occupy the
amphitheater seats.
THIS year the baby parade Is scheduled
for Thursday afternoon instead of Friday.
and Friday night will be left for the
masque fete. The parade of infants will
start from the new amphitheater. Over 600
