Mr. Blake hoped to I have a reat at this point, but he was ' confronted ' by a half dozen men, who ' drove in five miles to learn something of the scale. They brought an armload of limbs cot from peach trees and wanted to know how to get rid of the scab. Mr. Blake explained to their satisfaction, and there were no [more happy ;men in *Rio Grande than these men. The others who heard the speeches were John Cressen, W. S.

As this street has been > nearly impassable on rainy days, ex- | cept by boots or boats it is 4 good thing to advocate and will be of benefit to every property owner as well as others. When M. E.

On the | streets, coming from all directions, costumed masqueraders and hundreds ' of othero who went to enjoy the sight ; were going in a continuous stream, | which showed plainly that all streets, at least for that evening, lead to the | Excelsior Skating Rink. The Grand March started at nine o'clock and was led by George Dorner and Mrs. Horace Church, who guided the masqueraders, gaily costumed in gor- , tteous and unique apparel, In a series of graceful gyrations and fancy skat- , ing that was very efficacious, and | pleasing to the immense crowd of on- , lookers. The skating was kept up until a late liour and it was with much reluctance that the vast throng departed when it became time to close ] the rink. The management deserve high encomiums for the manner in which the carnival was conducted, as everything , passed off in a gratifying and highly, , pleasing manner.
