KING PRISCUS
NOW SPEEDING
TOWARDS CITY
HIS MAJESTY SENDS GREETINGS
AND THE MAYOR ISSUES PROC
LAMATIoN - MANY CARNIVAL
ENTERTAINMENTS AND BALLS
PLANNED.

With King Priscus and his royal
court speeding to the capital city,
with traces Of confetti here and there
which fell from supplies being stored
by the local dealers; the mayor pro-
claiming two days of revelry during
the visit of his majesty, and the grand
ball of the Jewellers of Ariola Thurs
day night in the Keyser auditorium,
when society held full sway, the 1913
carnival season is here, and there is
good reason to believe that 1t will be
6, success in every particular.
Between now and the night of Feb
ruary 4th, when the carnival will end.
there will be many social events. The
annual ball of the knights of Palafox
will be given at the Knights of CO.
lumbus hall on next Friday night
while the ball to be given under the
auspices Of the Police Mutual Benevo-
lent Association will be held at the
same place on the night of Monday,
January q. Following this event the
season will be crowded with others Of
like nature, which will be among
the various forms of amusement pro-
vided for carnival week.
Delving deep into ancient lore, deal
ing with the classical and calling to
his aid all the ingenuity and clever
inventions Of minds schooled in the art
Of carnival mystery, King Priscus will
present to his thousands of loyal sub
jects and visitors in Pensacola during
Mardi Gras, on the night of February
4, dazzling street parade, which will
sustain his reputation for the unique
and the artistic. There will be nothing
lacking that might add to the elegance
Of the stately knights, the rich cos
tunes of those who will appear on the
magnificent floats, and the scintillat-
ing jewels and the rich gowns of the
fair queen and the beautiful ladies of
her court will only serve to empha-
size the alluring charm of the night.
The proclamation issued yesterday
by Mayor Reilly is as follows.
