" “Greatest etér held,” is the general verdict applied to the Hallowe'en celebration Saturday night. There were many more participants than formerly and Marshals Kunkalman and Bowen had better cohfrol, although it is impossible to keep the little people from crowding up. The costumcs were far superior to anything seen formerly and the committee in charge has Jearned something which will prove of value next year. A bunch of Indians fn the big parade was one of the most striking features and no prizes had been offered for. the Noble: Red Man. The identity of the Indian characters is not known but those taking the part are centainly worthy of much praise. e - Following are the prize winners reported by the judges to President Wood of the Ligonier Cimmunity organization. - \ :
