PARADE SUCCESS

Carnival is Ended.
Special to the EVENING NEWS.


South Amboy, Aug. 30:-Many
children from this city and neigh
boring places took part in the Keans-
burg baby parade Saturday, the
pageant being a very picturesque
one. Local entries, many of which
were floats, went to the resort on the
Keansburg steamboat which docked
at the city pier. A number Of the
local children won prizes.
Among the meritorious entries
that won a prize was the beautiful
design entered by Mrs. Sarah Rox-
bury, which represented that the
baby was More precious than
Gold" This idea was elaborately
developed, showing artistic taste and
skill in an original execution. Al
though by serious mishap the
showing was marred before it was
presented to the judges, the entry
was found entitled to the second
prize in that division, and hand
some three-handled silver loving cup
was awarded it. Herbert ROxbury,
Jr., has thereby very greatly
priced silver trophy to his credit and
his parents feel that they are repaid
for the trouble they took in present
ing this idea.
