Like a sparkling and _ irri- descent shower, 16 adorable beauties alighted in Casper yesterday and this morning all here as guests of the Tri- bune and ready for the great Wyoming Princess Petrolia ball at the Arkeon tomorrow evening when the most beautiful girl in the state will be named. The other county winners will arrive today. It was the thrill of a double’ life- time to meet the trains. There must be ‘an awful lot of photographers around the‘state for not one picture has half displayed the prettiness of the girls who came into the Town- send hotel yesterday.

The steamer Lewis Hemsoth, from Bremen, pulled into, Oakland three days ago with a full and con- tented complement of German sea- men, a Teuton cabin boy, and a tappy skipper. «+ Today the Hemsoth is sans cabin boy, German crew and before the time comes for her to depart, she may bo sans skipper. The latter is considering whether he will tender his resignation by cable as a matter of pride—for it is not in keeping with the dignity of*the master of a 90,000 ton freighter to receive less than a cabin boy. When the German vessel pliéd its way through the Golden Gate, her Bremen crew, Teuton cabin boy and skipper, all“were contented because they knew little’ or nothing’ about the fabulous wages paid American workers. Twenty-four hours later, the Teuton boy todk French leave. Be- fore departing, he announced that he was going somewhere into the interior to take an American job; that he could earn more American dollars in one day than his cabin boy job netted him in three months. Ships must have cabin boys, so the Hemsoth’s skipper, unable to find a German boy, hired an Ameri- can. But under the ‘American ship- “The brought a” bouquet of - lovely lasses.

Dorothy Houser of Guernsey ang Miss Muriel Herring of Torrington. Miss Ruth Erwin of Lusk made the journey from Lusk with her mother Saturday. Miss Mary ring of Laramie drove in after 10 o'clock with her father who is sheriff of Albany county. From Southern Wyoming two county representatives arrived this morning. They were Miss Olga ‘Thuesen_of Rock Springs and Miss Ethel Faler of Pinedale. During the afternoon the rest of the guests of the Tribune will come into the city. Call of the roll will show a marvelous ‘galaxy of charm- ing creatures, This morning ‘the girls went on a shopping tour and they had a won- Gegful time locking over CAsper' cosmopolitan stores and thelr splen- did . offerings. Following luncheon together at the Townsend this noon, general preparations were made for ‘the plunge party which will be held at the Mills pool at 3 o'clock this after- noon. Is it any wonder that all Casper is buzzing with excitement? No city in Wyoming has ever had visit it such a gorgeous and choice group of beautiful girls. ‘Tomorrow, night at the Arkeon a vast gathering will press its way to the front of the Tribune's Wyoming Princess Petrolia ball. Because the Arkeon can comfortably care ~ for only so many people, the Tribun had ‘but 2,000"tickets put on sal Each hour sees the 2,000 admissione falling like Teaves in the wind. Hun- dreds may walt until the last min- ute but many of them will be dis- appointed as the doors of the Arkeon are to be closed with the disposal of the last of the tickets. For the first thme in local-history, an advance sale of tickets has been tremendous. It is, however, easy to see why such q great multitude wishes to see the most beautiful of 23 beautiful girls—the girl who will be selected to go to Tulsa next month as Princess Petrolia of Wyo- ming,, candidate for the” crown of Queen Petrolia who is ruler over all olldom.

As the fliers escorted by Major W. N.

Lieutenant Nelson, in the plane, New Orleans, was the first to land. ‘The fiers had made the 220. mile hop from Boston in 3 hours and 28 minutes. As the last plane glided to earth, the first shot of a 21-gun salute boomed out.

Fifteen thousand persons were on the field but nome was more excited than Lieutenant Nungesser, French ‘yho, #tanding at the prince's side, jumped up and down and shout- ed himself hoarse.
