Dear bia,â€" The first Masquerade Carnival in this Village was giv- en on the rink, newly erected, ^y Mr. John Hanbury, and notwithstandmg the uupiopitious weather, was very fairly attended by masquers and oth- ers, and the costumes of tliu former were very gooi, especialy the ladies, who dressed with extreme good taste. Tbe flower girls of Mrs. At kinson and Miss Hattie Jcumugs de- servedly earuinK the praises bestowed upon them for their graceful skating. These were the only two who compet- ed for prizes. Tbe r.'st of thft ladies amused themselves iu circling the rink the three representing snow- flakes looking remarkably well, and the character of " old womai.," by Miss Hattie Phillips, descryes a .sjiecial mention. Of course the gentlemen do not care for much mention but the worst skater does really deserve great praisj in the way he tried to break his bead or sjmc other part of his anatomy. The Dutchman con- tributed not a little to the success of the evening, as did also the men of color. The fat man and old man were very good, and the obesity of the for- mer contrasted greatly with the slim- ness of the latter, but KUch is life, â€" The twin brothers looked well iu cos- tume but how a twin brother can look him in the face and tell Lim he is two or three j'ears older, is one of those thing^ that " no fellow can ua- derstand; " but there were the twins. The bandits, Messrs Steinhoff and Kershaw, looked very well, and the the clown, by ^Ir, A. V. Galbraitli, was well rejjresented, and his skating was very graceinl. The band, how- ever, must not be forgotten, as they enlivened the evening very materially by discoursing sweet music to a very ajipreciative audience. The following iri a listof thn snccefesfull c onipettitors: Fastest Skater (one mile) A. V. Gal- braith 2ud W. B. liloomer Fat man, Clu'.s. Knapp Old Man, John Marshall Twin Brothcrs,W.J Shaw and J. C. Atkinson Best Gent's Cos- tume, George Lamou Swell Negro. W. A. Mackay India Chief; Goolrge Lamon Worst Skater. W. J. Shaw Best Lady's Costume, Mrs. Atkinson Best Skatfar- Gent. A. V. Galhraitb Best Laly Skater, Miss Hattie Jeu- ings Ton Thumb, Harry Lnmou Flower Girl, Miss Hattie Jennings: Best drcs.se 1 Lady, Mrs. .\tkiiisou Clown, A. V. Galbraith Dutchman, W. Sntto;i. TJio Judges were D. Mc- Willian^pi of this Village, Mr. Henrv Whyitby of Markdale, and Mr. Phil- lips of Loudon, who gaye every sati*- factiou iu their decisions. Tbe ice, notwithstanding the heavy thaw, ws in excellent couditien, which speaks well for tli" care taken of the rink, and it is to be hoped that many more carnivals will bo held in it, as every- thing went off in the mrst sdtisfactory manner, and a great vote of thanks is due Mr. John Hanbury for providing a pleasant recreation these winter nights. The Shelburne ijeople were well represented, es-pecially Mr. Mul- lin, whose costume, to say tbe least, was excellent. Yours truly, i LooKEB-Ox. MARKDALE.
