For some time put the skating and car- nival season has been in full sway, and amusements on the ice have been the prin- cipal attractions during the past month or two. And while other towns have been holding carnivals galore, Richmond Hill has? had her share. This vrltage has had many successful carnivals. but that given last Thursday evening under the auspices 01 our popular lacrosse club was undoubtedly far in advance of anything previously given here. There was a large attendance as the door receipts showed something over 360. But notmthstanding the fact that the large rink was crowded with skaters and spectat- ors, yet there was perfect order, and it was quite evident that everybody enjoyed the healthful, invigorating exercise. I" can hardly be claimed that carnivals have reach- sd perfection in every detail us yet. For instance, we consider that lacrosse _playing on the ice interfered with the other skaters and might have been dispensed with alto- gether. The "Grand March" also was scarcely a success. in fact, it would be dil ficnlt to make it so with so large a number. But apart from this criticism which is cfier- ed in s friendty spirit, there were many points of excellence in the carnival which are worthy of commendation. The " Living Cness"-wss a navelty and the figures around the "May‘vPole", given here for the final timeI wrre well ex: outed and were greaty ad- mired by all. Many of the costumes were very pretty, and represented characters never before ex- hibited here. Scores of masquerade” and others were perfectly at home on their skates, and many graceful compliments" .ware paid to charming lady ekulcis us they went gliding sud skimming over the ice. Many ul those in coslume failed to lean: their name and churaCter rrpreeenlevi, Bu; we ere unable tugglve a complete list. A: large number were deserving ol special men- tion, foremost among whom Were Mr. Ed Forester, us Sian Claus, and his four uim- hleatleudsuh who took the place of tin) mind-er. in the persons of Masters R. Nel- son. A. livid. N. Frisby and W Lawwn, all of Victoria Square. This combination was acknowledged to be the best attraction ever seen on ice in this place. The represents- tinn was perfect. The children saw the time honored St. Nichalns as they never saw him haters, and Mr. Forester deserves the thanks 0! the village for the pains he took in assisting the lacrosse carnival. ,Be- fore leaving the ice Old Santa made a neut little speech, as he always now. in which he explained that Owing to the absence of slrighing at Christmas he was uneble to bring “his favorite little boys" their usual presents, and he would now do so. .He then made several presentstmns. .The Band gave lots of music and acquitted themselves in the most satisfactury manner. The Carâ€" nival on Thursday night was another de- monstration of what this section of country will do in support of a popular local insti- tution.
