FIFTH DISTRICT CARNIVAL
CLUB.

HINdI NIuD started on their second
year with more interest and enrhu.
Siasm than ever before. There j.
not a doubt that the initial appear
ance OF this popular club as carnival
entertainers was a success in every
. respect. and that they made a very
favorable impression on the general
public Is significant by the fact that
they received a great deal OF an
/ plause wherever their worthy Grand
Marshall L. Zinc. lead them. espe-
cially when they passed the city hall
the people at this point gave the
/ boys such a glad hand and so many
good cheers. that they felt as though
their debut as representatives from
our district was appreciated by these
people in particular II is needless
to say that the boys made a great
showing in their bright colors OF
gold, green, red. white and purple.
and the manner in which r. Reanev
and :. Clement led the boys in the
clever turns az each corner was the
cause Of much comment. amusement
and applause.
The club formed at its Den. :"
AliN and Bouny streets. and started
to march promptly at $50 a. m. At
first it was feared that the day the
boys had worked so hard Tor and
waited so patiently for, was going
10 be spoiled. as "Pluyius," the rain
god, seemed TO think that such great
JOY as the boys anticipated was out
OF the question, and tried TO play
the johnson" of the game. BY send
ing down few drops of rain that
almost took the heart out of all
present: however. Apollo" the sun
god, soon came to the rescue and
proved to be the Willard" and with
his X. o. punch, sent "Pluvius" and
his rain back 10 his kingdom. while
"ApOllo'S" beautiful sun welcomed
the boys for the rest of the day.
AS scheduled in last weeks paper.
the boys paraded the principal
streets of Algiers, visiting the homes
OF the members, where all were
made to feel at home, and refresh
ments were served at each stop; at
II O'Clock they went TO the home
OF Mrs. Reaney and enjoyed a very
nicely prepared luncheon; at /
O'Clock they crossed the river. and
while on the ferry the crowd was
amused at the good humor of all,
the band played "Brownskin." while
the boys in their Brownskin make
up danced it in brownskin form.
After parading the principal
streets of New Orleans, including
uptown, downtown and middle sec
ton, the boys returned to Algiers,
and retired to the Pythian Hall.
where banquet was served 1t is
needless to say that the banquet
was enjoyed, as the walters were
kept right busy bringing on the
many good things to eat l.. Zinc
proved TO be the champion in the
eating line, as ii took him some
thing like two hours to satisfy his |
appetite. Between dishes the boys
entertained each other in songs. |
jokes, and monologues. At nine |
o'clock the doors were opened. and |
everyone was welcomed. and many |
visitors were present, but none left |
without asking to become members
Of the club, and some went so far as
to want to join at once. As the mid
night hour approached the boys be-
gan to tire, and feel as though their
beds would be welcomed, but all
present were on the floor for Home
Sweet Home" j. Calhoun proved to
be the dancer of the evening. and if
ne continues at the rate he is going.
he will soon be booked for the Or
Dheum circuit instead = of repairing
he bright light of the l.. & y. r. r.

club will have a membership OF sew

treasury of at least $1,000 to spend,
