TURNER'S MASQUE
HUGE SUCCESS
Large Attendance Saturday Night at
Fifty-Fiffh Annual
Bali
NAMES OF THE PRIZE WINNERS

The Turner's fifty-fifth annual prize
mask ball proved to be a success in
every way: The opera house was
packed with masquers on the lower
floor, and with spectators in the bal
cony who witnessed with interest the
evolutions Of the jolly participants.
The costumes for the occasion rang
ing all the way from the neatly
dressed groupes to the roughly at
tired tramp, demonstrated that con-
siderable preparation had been made
for the event.
A large crowd took part in the
dances which followed the unmasking.
The music for the occasion was fur
nished by the Bramer- Miller seven
piece orchestra.
The Judging this year was conduct
ed differently than in previous years.
All maskers were ordered to one end
of the hall, and then the groupes or
characters were ordered into an open
space before the judges. This gave
the judges a much better opportunity
20 select, as they would only have the
character called for to contend with
instead OF picking them out of the
crowd during the grand march or
while dancing.
There were several we'll costumed
groupes appearing for the SIS prize.
The prize was awarded to five girls
dressed as ballet dancers, they being
Misses Elizabeth Hoeff, Elanor Kaer-
