INVITATION WITHDRAWN.

After being invited to participate in
the mask parade during the Mountain
and Plain Festival, the Rocky Noun
tain Athletic Association was in
formed by the carnival manager that
he feared the raising of the color
question, and that he had withdrawn
the invitation. In support of its po-
sition, the management cited the case
some years ago when a colored lady
was adjudged the best of the maskers,
an incident which was made much of
in the daily press at that time. AS a
result, the four floats which the Ath-
letic Association was building have
been abandoned.
