The Baby Parade feature Of the
carnival was nc less interesting than
that which preceded it. There were
507 entries for the baby parade and
the judges had difficulty in determ-
lining the winners In some of the
classes and the final result was not
reached until near noon. The
judges were DR.. o. G. Bogardus,
land, Mrs. r. w. Jewett, Professor
A. M. Dick.
The Carnival Committee of As
bury Park, of which Harold b.
Ayres is the chairman, was here to
get some ideas for use In the COM
ing event of that city, and he got
them. The diversity and original
ity Of many of the floats In line was
a compliment to the genius of our
people, who were well repaid for
| their trouble and expense by the
pleasure they afforded the onlook-
ers as the scenes they were made to
represent passed in review. The ap-
I plause was generous when some par
ticularly attractive carriage or float
appeared, while complimentary ex-
pressions were heard for others
which failed to elicit applause. AS
a whole, the parade was very SUI
perior to that Of last year and will
rank among the best given in any
place.
