Three hands filled the air with melody; the Wildwood Band, the Bed, White, and Blue Band from Vineland, and ,the Fiedler Band, from Atlantic City. Add to these the blaring of a million trumpets, peals of ringing' laughter and snng, and some faint idea of the vmw mnv lie cleaned.

Anbury Avenue had been transformed into a typically continental night garden, illuminated by hundreds of lamps. For practicaUy an entire day, Ocean City abandoned itself to an orgie of frolic and fun. Promptly at 7 o'clock the band, concert tegan. Stealthily .the ; music crept down into the toes j of the masqueradcrs, and soon the ; Avenue assumed the appearance; of a colossal, gaily decorated ball-room. As the hour approached nine,, the masqucradcm began to con-, gregatc nenr the vicinity of Sixth j Street, where the parade fell in( . lino. According to reports, this tear there were fewer out of town organizations in the procession. The decorated floats however outnumbered last year's event, and there was a very much larger number of individuals and couples, who participated. The disguises adopted this year, displayed for greater originality in design than "heretofore, while 'he fancy costumes, were unquestionably .superior in quality and ; This year Ocean City was privi elcgeil to hear, in connection with its Hallowe'en Carnival, two celebrated opera and concert stars of the first magnitude, who sang | from the band stand, erected in

In the world of music Madam . Kendall enjoys an enviable rcpuI tation. extending through . every . State in the Union. Her labors in j the interests of charity, have made , her no less famous.

At West Point, no e person stands in higher favor than j Madam Rendail. In her labors for: v charity she has contributed noi s small part to the founding of fivp , hospitals. h Artistically, Madam Rendail e would have been classified by the j n older masters as a dramatic so-| I, ' prano with a lyrical voice which ' e signifis that while Madam Ken- ! Si doll's superb voice, possesses pure, ,1 lyrical qualities, her" interpreta-j ie tions arc strictly dramatic. She impersonates not only the lyrist in' r the song, but dramatizes every, '

r passing emotion. Singing in richj . "clang" tones, of deep resonance, jJ with a wonderful range, her con-'1 t ributions on Saturday were su- '' perb.

H Although no records were brok- 9 and nothing of a spectacular » sensational nature occurred, p the marksmanship displayed by the competitors was of a consis- o tent ''and creditable quality. s: The contest resolve.! itself prac- t. tically into a friendly tilt between 7 gunsmen, very few out of s shots making their appeaiI on the ground. Three fine and fat geese, enough 7 break the heart of an Epicure, C were the prizes awarded to the ^ prize winners, while an equal number of chickens, were donated * to others. e The major event was a twenty- t bird contest. The competitors a were arranged into three classes fl after the shooting on a basis of , 100%, 75%, and 50%. i« In Class A, William Seaman I captured first honors, with a total f of 19 out of 25, and to him went the first pick of the geese, nat- t I uarlly.

Class C, also found two com- i 'petitors tied for .the goose, with t ' j a total of 11 out of 25; Scott, i ] Adams, and Benjamin Young of «

Atlantic City. The shoot-off de:ei.icd that Young was entitled to goose. i The Second was a Jen bird event, with chickens as prizes. The first came legitimately to Benjamin Young with a total of out of a possible ten. Thus it was seen the competitors were inr : proving as they mended. Three competitors tied for second honors, with 8 out of a pa*siblc ten; Robert Batcman, ClayB. Roberts, and Roy Bourgeois. shoot-off decided that Koterts should carry off the chicken. Four marksmen stood equal in the contest for third honors, wrilh out of 10 to Jheir credit; l-cwis Cosaboon, D. Ven De Venter. Cspt. R. Smith, and William Seamen. The shoot-off naturally caused excitement, in the end howD. Van Dc Vejiter, -captured the chicken, to carry- off under ooc arin, while the other encircled the goose. Herbert C. Smith acted in the capacity- of official Referee, while Allen, fulfilled tho office of ofstorekeeper. Quite a large number of speeta- . lined the beach and '■ the Boardwalk, enjoying the various events, and commenting, some . very learnedly upon the merits of ; the respective contestants. Meanwhile, as if they would add : a touch of ironic humor into the i situation, while the competitors were smashing up dummy birds, and attempting to blow up the : ocean Into bits, far out over the , flocks of real ducks gamboled in the air, at safe distance.
