LARGE Crowd.
The show was held in the Board OF
Trade ASSEMBLY room. beginning at
$50 eeto<k. The room was crowded
with o1Dans, mothers and grandmoth-
ers ard sspsens and just plain visi-
tors. D<epite The crowd OF strangers
and the ce~fuston Of the show, most
OF the little ones apparently enjoyed
themselves and only a few cried.
There were only ffty-one entered
IN the show this year as compared
with 146. the number at last years
event. The inclement weather OF the
afternoon undoubtedly reduced the
number, as many anxious mothers
would not run the risk OF having
their precious ones become Ill just for
the sake OF winning first honors at
baby show.
While doubtless every mother with
the exception OF one OF course, diff
fered with the judges In the selection
of the most beautiful baby. no COM
plants were heard. The judges were
even praised for their work. But
every mothers unexpressed opinion
was that her own child was the most
beautiful. the decision OF the three
men TO the contrary notwithstanding.

and Mrs. Robert Hawkins. of No. $40
