They came hopeful of seeing a show worth the trouble they were put to and vet doubting the fulfillment of all that had been prom- ised them. They departed satisfied that the promises of the management had been more than redeemed and wonder- ing how =0 much talent could be gath- ered together in such a comparatively brief time, It is no exaggeration to say that the carnival is the greatest thing of the kind ever presented for the delecta- tion of the people of San Francisco. Its success was assured from the mo- ment the procession of stars made its rance on the floor, and every eding moment but increased the tvorable impression then produced. The pageant of the three hundred handsomely costumed cakewalkers, to- gether with the accompanying and the various other features whick added to the beauty of the spectacl was wonderfully attractive. The pre cession was led by Miss Pearl Hic man as chief drum ma here let it be said that is a star of the first Petite in form but perfectly propo: tioned and the personification of grace, and costumed in dazzling attire, she caught the eye of the audience at once and was applauded to the echo.. She a past master of the art of cakewalk- ing, and as she marched at the head of the brilliant throng of professionals and amateurs she seemed to realize that she had a reputation to uphold. That she fulfilled her duty the ap- plause of the great audience is suffi- clent proof. Immediately behind her came the nue of the king and queen of the rnival, followed by their majesties ted in a gorgeous chariot. The al purple was worn with becoming dignity by J. R. Allen and Miss Annie Kennedy. After them came the juven- ile cakewalkers led by a midget drum major in the person of Miss Marie Nichols. Then came little Addie Weg- ener driving six cocker spaniels and followed by a float representing the birth of the cakewalk. This was a cabin in front of which the family of n ante-bellum plantation darky was enjoying ftself with exhibitions of ; walking by its numerous mem- magnitude. xt came the hordes of cakewalkers in a great variety of costumes, ranging from the magnificent to the grotesque, and another float representing the cakewalk up to date. The procession < divided fnto nu- merous divisions, each accompanied by harlequins, Bedouins, Rough Riders and innumerable strangely attired promenaders. After making a circult of the hall the chariot containing the royal pair halted before a bespangled throne and the king and queen alight- took their seats on the da and the procession moved on in review.

All classes of cake- walkers were represented in the pa- geant. Professional cakewalkers, clety cakewalkers, juvenile cakewalk- -rs, grotesque cakewalkers, colored cakewalkers, “speclalty” cakewalkers amateurs—all were there and all were doing their best to attract attention to themselves with gratify- ing success.

The clothing took fire and the two young ladies, realizing the danger, seized bucl of water which they threw on the flames. They afterward suffocated the blaze with other clothing. The sight of smoke puffing out of the room caused consternation for a few moments among the employes, but the excitement was soon quelled.
