the Judges for the awarding of
prizes. The judges were Miss Ger
ard. Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. L. II. Will
liams, DIR. Barney, Mr.. Hawse. The
most artistic costume for the ladies
was awarded to Miss katherine
Thomas, who was most bewitching
in q snow costume to represent a
! winter girl. Her gown was of pure
white with sparkles of snow over it.
A small fur cap and miniature fur
muff completed the reminder of the
good old winter time. The prize
for the gentlemen was given to Bam-

white costume and his hand always
on his pistol watching for the vic

been taken from him. necessitating
the use of an immense barrel and
