Following the decisions Of the judges
the masks were removed and three
quarters of an hour of whist was en-
joyed. The prizes went as follows:
Ladies-First, Miss Merinda. AucIaire,
photograph of pastor; second, Miss
Bridget Day, beauty pin. Gentlemen
First, Ovila Lacroix. suit pattern; Sec
ond, Father Lynch, fifty cigars. The
prizes were very kindly furnished by
M. HI. Donahue, George Despathy and
Anne Gordon.
After the card playing the auction
sale OF neat and appropriate baskets
of lunch occurred, with Henry Reeves
acting as auctioneer. The sales real
lied net profits of So to SO. The bid
ding at times was spirited and caused
much amusement.
The last popular feature of the even
ing consisted of dancing, which lasted
until 11.45. The gay throng finished
off the last good time before Lent to
the harmonious strains Of Miners or
chestra.
The successful affair was under the
direction of Anne Gordon, who acted
as master of ceremonies, and who was
assisted by four small boys, Joseph
Donohue, Ernest Dupont. James Hines
and James Brown, who acted as pages.
The proceeds of the carnival, which.
it is estimated, will amount to little
better than 5000, with all bills paid,
will be devoted to the building fund of
St. Mary's parish, Baltic. Shannon's
hall has probably never seen SO large
a crowd as was present at the carnival
and probably will see few as large in
the future. There were about 700 in
the room.
The committee which arranged the
affair and pushed it to such a success
consisted of Louis Fontaine, Anne
Gordon, James p Brown, F. Gareau,
Walter Miner, Mrs. Louis Fontaine
and Mrs. M. H. Dona1ue.
