King Carnival will sway his sceptre
in Kruger Auditorium tonight, where
Arion, as represented by the society
of that name, will be astride his docile
dolphin, not to twang his Tyre for song,
but to lead on TO the dance that will
begin at 10 o'clock and end tomorrow
morning at no time in particular.
The annual masquerade of the Arion-
ties forms the elimination of the local
carnival season. 1t takes the shine
from them all, and it has done so for
many years. Thanks to the increasing
| popularity of the society, it will do so
for many more years to come.
As the arrangements are in the
hands of a committee that has had
great experience in affairs of this kind,
and as these committees are always
backed by the unbounded enthusiasm
of the members, besides a large pro-
portion of the fun-loving public, the
Arionites, as a matter of course, will
add tonight another jewel in their
crown of success along lines carnival

the open sesame to the delights of the
dance n the gorgeous displays that
have been arranged for the hours of
rolic, that they are as scarce as the
proverbial hens teeth. AS a matter of
fact, the tickets are said to haVe been
sold more rapidly this season than at
any other during the long history OF
the Aripnites.

dainty women in dainty gowns and
sturdy men in historic costumes, deco
rations more elaborate thar any ever
seen before. and special features bound
to please, will make the event n long
to be remembered by those fortunate
to say tomorrow that they were there.
The English pony ballet and a polo
naise, full of pretty figures, under the
direction of George Seikel, instructor
of gymnastics of the Newark Turn
Nerein, will serve TO please the dancers
and the general public, while Henry
Sander, Emil G. Zeh and Richard
Pfeiffer, most active fun-makers of the
society, promise a surprise that will
prove a hit.
Behind great banks of ferns and
flowers, palms and potted plants, one
of Professor Leo C~luesmann's orches-
tras will be busy at one end of the
hall playing promenade music, while at
the other enc of the hall, as soon as
its music ceases, another of his orches-
tras will strike up the tuneful mea-
sures of the dance.
