Festivities Open Today With
Parade of River Vessels-Many
Features Missing.

NEW ORLEANS. February with
but little of it's former glory remain
ing. New Orleans annual Mardi Gras
celebration today began with river
parade of vessels destined to meet the
steamer Queen City, due from Pitts
burgh with several hundred visitors
from Ohio and Mississippi river
points.
In the days of it's prime carnival
season saw it's official opening the
Monday preceding Shrove Tuesday
fMardi Grass. when with due formal
ity,, committees Of mystic krewes
sailed down the river to meet the
royal yacht. aboard which was Rex,
King of Misrule and for two days SOW
ereign of the so-called city that Care
forgot. Rex was royalty escorted to
the city, placed on moving throne
and taken to where the queen of car
nival awaited him. Then came the
parade of Comus. the Comus ball at
night and the Rex ball Mardi Gras
night.
This year there will be no naval pa
rade and no Comus parade. Rex will
head the only parade of the season,
and will meet the queen at the Pick
wick Club, from where they will
journey to the ceremonies preceding
the Rex ball. But few of the krewes.
or secret carnival organizations, held
balls this year.
Masking will be permitted Tuesday
until nightfall. ..--s
Destruction by fire last year of the
French opera house, where most OF
the balls were held, seriously handi-
capped carnival preparations.
