girls under command of Capt.
Gaines, all combined to give the
occasion decided warlike coloring.

who had part in arranging an enter
tainment projected upon such a
large scale in so short time deserve
much genuine praise and commen-
dation.
1t was with reluctance that the
several hundred spectators turned
their faces homeward after several
hours spent so pleasantly. Iced
refreshments that sold like hot
cakes" enabled some to llnger for a
social half hour ou the beautiful

cluster about The Crowning of the
Nations" to al! who witnessed the
pageant for many years yet to come.
