rode before the stand and received
their prizes from the hand of Mrs.
Frear. who was charming in her man

The work of the judges was SPLEEN
didly done and the only comments to
be heard after the awarding of the
prizes was regret that second prizes or
more were not provided, the general

In the evening street carnival, once
the carnival spirit was caught, things
moved riotously and well. There was
plenty of noise of a harmless kind,
much joIlity without any roughness or
boorishness and plenty Of amusement
for those who grasped the idea and
went hooking for it. The Elks helped
out the evening In great Shape, crowd

the noisy ones within them creating
a stir and starting things off for the
Kilohanas. Later some of the con-

marched up and down the streets IN
military formation, grabbing the
watchers and giving them taste Of

women ever noticed in town tripped
in their skirts as they eoquetted with
all and sundry, while there were flow
or girls, musicians, clowns and many
others.
The success of the carnival was such
as to warrant its adoption as per-
manent part of the Floral Parade pro-
gram and next year, with more work
in preparation and with clearer idea
among the people as to what is ex'
peeted, the affair should be the big
-vest kind of success.
Beautiful Prize Winners.

artistic conceptions in the mate
rails available, lavishness in the mat

being far and above the averages OF
the past three years. Other years
have seen some beautiful cars; yes
terday they were all beautiful and
there was happy absence of the ma
chimes decorated with one or two flags
and occupied by people in ordinary
street costume who decorated without
any other idea than TO be able tc
get into the parade with as little trou-

gay line to the other, yesterday, each
