This Affair VIII take Place In
Wildwood on Thursday After
noon, August 22d, 1918.
Parade VIII Start at
Three O'clock on
the Dot
S4iO IN GOLD WILL BE GIVEN AWAY

Thursday, August 22d, 1918, is the
day set for holding the baby carnival
this summer, if there be no rain on
that day. Should it rain on the date
designated, then the carnival will be
held on the first clear day thereafter.
This present demonstration will be the
10th event of the kind here, indicating
its usefulness and popularity. From
the ranks of the baby train must be re-
cruited the future actors on the worlds
stage. Hence he who caters to one of
these little ones now is rendering a val
liable service that will find an echo in
the years to come. 1t is announced
that prizes will be awarded on merit
only, aud that no favoritism will be
shown. The sum of $40 in gold will
be paid in prizes. There are to be II
classes III all: A, B, G, D, E, F, G, H.
l, ], K, and l.. There will be three
prizes offered In each class, except the
last, in the last class (L) only one prize
of $25 will be awarded to the best patri-
otto float in line. In all of the other IL
classes, there will be given in each, a
first prize of $40; a second prize of $40;
and a third prize of SIS, all payable in
gold as specified. The SUM of$55, there
fore, will be distributed to each class,
making a total Of $3.50 to the eleven
classes. The sums to be paid in prizes
are quite alluring, and the present in
dications are that the carnival of 1918
will eclipse all previous showings in
the juvenile line.
Mrs. Roland Corson is directress Of
the affair; and a committee will be Sc
lected to judge of the merits Of each
contestant and to award the prizes,
point by point. as shall be mutually
agreed upon. There will be no fixed
place for the judges to assemble to re-
view the parade. The judges will
mingle with the crowd, and no one
will know who they are until after the
parade is over, and the prize decisions
rendered. The baby parade will form
early in the afternoon of Thursday, the
Ed, in the arcade and the order to
march will be given at three O'Clock on
the very dot. The procession will be
led by Troilo's Crest band, and the route
of march will be north as far as Ocean
Pier, and end there. Because of the
hot weather, no counter-march will be
attempted. This restriction seems
wise and timely, out of consideration
for the tiny little darlings entered for
the carnival.
On Thursday evening, August 22d,
at $50 on the minute, in the Casino
auditorium, the queen Of the carnival,
Miss Liberty, will be crowned, and pre-
scented with a diamond ring. The at
PENDANTS to the queen, Miss France and
Miss England, will be the two young
women receiving the next highest mum
Der Of votes to the %carnival's queen. AT
ter the browning of Queen Liberty there
will be two interpretative dances: The
first a solo dance by Gladys Love, en-
titled, "Welcome to Miss Liberty" the
other will be a Liberty dance by Gladys
Love, Madeline Love, Ruth Adds and
Gilmore Adds. These two dances will
be under the personal direction of the
carnival directress. MIR. Pfeiffer's Or
chestra will furnish the musical accom-
paniment for the dances. The fact
that $40 in gold is offered in prizes to
successful competitors inthe little ones
carnival illustrates the vital stress laid
by Wild wood on affairs pertaining TO
the interests of the little people.
The counting of votes to ascertain
who shall be the queen of the baby a r
nival and who shall be the queens at
PENDANTS, will take place on Wednes-
day evening, August 81, at $50 in the
Bureau Of Information room on the
boardwalk.
