The climax to the first annual May
day festival last night was a thorough
success and was witnessed by an au-
dience which fairly crowded the Au-
ditorium The musical numbers
were especially good and the decora-
tive effects were splendid.
The Clifton chorus was repeatedly
encored and achieved a brilliant sue
cess. The director Nine. Frances
ainwright-Lenardson has most
creditable company of singers and
their music will be in frequent de-
mand in this city.
The Ladies Matinee Musical club
rendered several numbers which were
delightfully."- received. This club was
trained by Prof Kiefer. as was the
male chorus which enacted the part
of the l. w. WIS in the second act.
This latter section was marked by
considerable laughter in the audi
ence at the remarkable ideas dis
played by the members of the band
in costuming.
In the second act just before the
finale. Little Miss Charlotte kiefer
sang her solo, after riding in on a
pony which was led by two Indians
The young redskins were real Mo-
quis, too, and wore much of their
tribal costumes.
The work of the children in the
play evoked general applause and
appreciation. The whole play was
well worked out and achieved
brilliant success Prof. and Mrs
Kiefer, in individual work added
much to the pleasure of the eve
ming.

factory and the receipts will be di-

The automobile owned by Mrs. j.
w. Rector and driven by Robert Har-
dy was adjudged the most artlstically
decorated car in the May Day parade
yesterday afternoon, and Mrs Rector
was awarded the $40 prize by the
judges. The car owned and driven

The best trimmed bicycle was rid
den by Stanley Birdsall, and the sec
ond best by Earl Stone. The first

$3.50.
In the parade in the afternoon the
Presbyterian band furnished excel
lent music, being one of the best fea-
lures of the parade, and the G.. A. II.
drum corps, always to be depended
upon for martial rhythm and music,
was also an Indispensable part of the
line of march.
Every auto was filled with happy
young people, and it is estimated that
800 people took part in the parade.
There were no floats to judge, and
none of the motorcycles were
trimmed
The line of march was changed
somewhat. due to the excavation
work on Colorado avenue. There
were about 40 autos in line and 90
motorcycles, with beyy of bicycles.
The parade was keenly disappoint-
ing to. the 5000 people who lined
the sidewalks. Lack of interest in a
new event. departure from the or
binary, is given as the cause of the
failure of the mammoth pageant that
had been advertised. 1t was due to
no fault of those who promoted the
affair.
In the evening the judges visited
all of the windows that were trimmed
in the business section and unanim-
ously agreed upon awarding Chaplin
& Vorbecll's clever camping scene the
first prize of SIS. The Fashion store
won the second prize, and Mrs. ]. F.
O'Malley's artistic display in the Me-
So Dry Goods Company windows was
given third, although the honor car
ried no cash value, and C. d. Smiths
window won the fourth prize. The
Judging was difficult, the the win
dows were excellent and were clev
erly executed. Other window dis
plays given special mention were as
follows: The Fair store, Sampliner's,
Interstate cigar store, +. p, Fried
man, Kraft & Emerson, NJ. j. Frantz
and the FASTING.
