band and the queen, who rode in
carriage with Mrs. Gorham. The en-
tries were as follows: Mrs. Walter
Herndons and Mrs. Hillery's babies
in a Shetland pony cart; Mrs. Wat
kins, two babies. one in a Japanese
basket and the other in a float. An
entry representing four generations
was something novel In this two
grandmothers led the buggy, which
was pushed by the mother. This en-
try was Margaret Winters Brown.
Robert Hosley was the next entry.
He was decorated with rosebuds.
Mrs. Batten and Mrs. Fidler were the
mothers of the fat babies. Both were
dressed the same. Mrs. Maserves
baby in white lily carriage was very
pretty. The Miner baby as Cupid
was a feature of the parade. The
Adams twins, drawing an express
wagon rigged as a prairie schooner,
were cute and novel. The Espy baby,
all in Shasta daisies, was a pretty en-
try. The George Rose baby, deco
rated in La France roses, was very
pretty. The Grisez twins were hand
somely decorated and were followed
by the Beagle baby representing a
ferry and driving two yellow butter
flies personified by Veneta Burns and
Lillian Thoms. This was very pref
ty entry. The Charles Rose baby, all
in pink and white and very beautiful.
The remaining entry was the Frank
Lane baby, beautifully decorated in
pink.
The judges were Mrs. Fred Wag-
ner, Mrs. Emil Peil and Mrs. George
Kramer. They awarded the prizes to
the following babies: Adams baby,
best decorated buggy; Mrs. Watkins s
baby, the most unique; Mrs. Battens,
/ the fattest baby, the Norris twins
winning the prize for twins.
Tonight the little mothers of the
city will march with all their dolls
and very pretty parade is expected
This is under the management of the
Oregon Trail Girls. Saturday even
ing the band boys are in charge. and
confetti will be much in evidence.
The carnival has many elements Of
attraction for young and old. 1t drew
an immense crowd Tuesday night and
started off with nothing of an objec-
tionable character in evidence. The
company has some high class attrac-
tions that mean large investment.
All together the carnival is by no
means a bad idea as means of liv-
ening up Ashland in the dull season.
Go and see it and help the cause of
the Woman's Civic Improvement
Club.

Carnival Shows 4'
Careful Planning

Ashland turned out in full force to
witness the opening of the carnival
Tuesday e7ening. The parade started
from the library, followed Main street
to the Plaza and back again to the
carnival on c street The line vas
led by the band in Staples big car,
and the queens float, with Miss
Mildred Applegate on the throne,
driven by Miss Josephine Saunders
and decorated by the Elks, was fol-
lowed by the car containing her
maids of honor, Misses Hope Burdic,
Ferne Murphy, Beulah Caldwell and
Peryl Wamsley, bevy of feminine
loveliness which might we'll have at
tended the court of any queen.
The next section of the parade was
led by the mayor and the police force
in very beautifully decorated float.
A girl-filled. green and white, butter
fly float driven by W. w. Caldwell
was next in line, and then some of
George Washington friends person
flied by Wilmer Policy and ladies,
rode in richly decorated car. Ban
don by the Sea came rolling down the
street covered with nets and seaweed,
behind the colonial car, and was fol-
lowed by Mrs. Henry Enders and Miss
Helman in Andy McCallen's racer.
They were dressed as Esquimaux and
seemed to be just visitors from the
Land Of the Midnight Sun. The car
which was later awarded the prize
followed the car of Esquimaux 1t
was decorated and driven by Mrs. w.
II. McNair. The color scheme was
cream and yellow and the float was
easily the choice of the people who
lined the streets. A buggy beautiful
ly decorated in yellow and driven by
Mrs. Guy Jacobs and Mrs. w. N. Cor
ham was also a prize winner.
The long cavalcade OF horsemen
came next and the prizes we're award
ed to Miss Gala Biegel and DR.. Jar
Wis after much debate on the part of
the committee. The parade came to
a halt In front of the spacious canopy,
where the throne was set, and Queen
Mildred was here crowned by the
mayor and given the key to the city.
In behalf of her subjects the mayor
delivered an address of welcome to
the queen and wished her happy
and peaceful reign, after which the
queen herself announced the prize
winners in the parade.
Last evening the baby parade
claimed the attention of the carnival
goers. This parade, under the direc-
