But the big crowd was an uncom- planning one and continued the fun up until the last hour. Those having concessions seemed to have their shares of the money that went for a good time. From the standpoint of the police, there was but little to do. While no serious trouble occurred. the few little differ, ences of opinion that sprung up were adjusted by the strong arm of the law yet even the sign of welcome over the door of the jail failed 70 attract but few.
 Indeed the city has done herself proud and many were the compii- ments made by the visitors who shar- ed in the good times and declared the occasion an unqualified success.
 Toward the close of the carnival mask ball last night the committee se- lected and announced the several prize winners whose costumes had won through merit and had found commendation in the eyes of judges.
 Award Costume Prize.
 The 'award for the best costume worn by any of the many ladies at
 
 the best colonial costume prize was awarded to Mrs. c. J. Flanigan. Mrs. L. A. Brown was declared to have best sustained the character she rep resented throughout the evening and 10 her was awarded the prize which had been offered for the best sus- tained character. Mrs. C. E. Murry won the prize for the best Western costume and Miss Lena Blair for the best patriotic costume. while it was determined that Miss Ruth Whitecot- ton had the best Japanese costume worn at the ball. and that Mrs. VIII hankin was the best of the lady dancers
 In mems costumes the prize for the best went to, T. N. Bailey and Oscar Bell won the prize for his make up as a cowboy.

 At the first event the crowd, as, sembled on the carnival platform to hear the oration of Hon. Reese Ling at 7:30. and stayed for the big show free. In vain did Hoy plead with the spectators that what was to follow was a paid attraction and that the fi' nance committee expected him to bring back the money. The crowd laughed and in despair the manager of the carnival contented himself with a dollar for each dancer.

The seDsa- tional feature of the day was, while the preliminaries in the 100-yard dash were being run when Wilhite. after being npenalized one ya d, covered the distance in 4-5 seconds.
 Considering the muddy course. tbs performance was most remarkable and is within 2-5 of a second of the best time ever made, that by the Irish- American sprinter. Duffy Wilhite had been entered in so many of the events that he was tired and could not duplicate the performance in the finals which went to Brown in lV seconds flat.

DAYLIGHT FIREWORKS
 PROVE PLEASING TO MANY

The daylight fireworks were set on Sunday afternoon from Higgins hill and proved a novelty to most people as they had never before been used in this section of the country. Bombshells were shot to burst hign in the air releasing paper balloons and showers of brilliant bits of paper. These balloons would fill with air and sail off before the breeze. some float; ing away for quite a distance aI4 others falling close at hand. Thf chase of thse balloons was a saurc5 of amusement to tire small boys woc eagerly pursued the paper animats and figures and were proud to possess one as souvenir.

A COLLISION-When such giant ad- Nersarics as a big automobile and an electric street car come together. there Is bound to be something doing. and that was the ease in front of the Ford hotel last evening just before dark. Fortunately. nobody was seriously hurt. though it was a narrow escape and as sembled a crowd of a hundred or two in short order. Gus Hegelund was at the wheel of his big auto with Peter Mohn on the seat beside him. They started from the Ford rStel quite slow ly. they say, and headed for the south side of the street, going east, to get on the righthand side of it, as they should. They declare that as they started they looked to the west and could see no car coming. or they would not have tried to cross its bow. But in any case, that is wLat they did do. and just as they were on the rails an east bound car struck them on the right side. raising the auto up a little and giving it such push that the rear wheel on the opposite side was crushed down and hopelessly wrecked. The machine was pushed to the Central garage by a number of willing men. The autoists insist that the ear must haze come from nowhere and very suddenly, while the ear man says he was ringing his bell, regardless. for a long distance back and thought they heard him and would get move on. if they undertook to cross in front of him at all

on an Indictment of manslaughter
charging the beating to death of an
insane man in the New Jersey

lentine, at one time pastor of the
Laporte Baptist church, and a
brother of Prof. J. Ballehtine, a
former principal of the Sonestown
High school. The many friends of
these worthy people are glad to
know their relative was not guilty
of the charge preferred against
him.
