Method Employed by Little

Colored Boy in Devouring a Custard Pie Eclipsed All Other Rivals. BURLESQUE ATHLETIC MEET GREAT SUCCESS Greased Pig Runs Amuck in Crowd Amid Feminine Screams and Masculine Roars A Big Laugh. In spasms of laughter was the enormous crowd, at the South Tenth street park yesterday afternoon, kept when the burlesque athletic carnival perhaps the funniest event In connec tion with the Fall Festival, was suc cessfully pulled off to the great emu sement of all who witnessed the ridic ulous antics of the participants in the contest. It remained for Ifttle "Earnie" McKay, colored, to break all records in the pie eating contest. The manner in which the small colored urchin devoured the huge custard pie placed before him, with one hand tied behind his back, made all the other contes tants in the event fade into the con tin uous and wonder why they were ever foolish enough to compete with such a mouth as "Earnie's". With pie in his nose, eyes, ears and mouth and smeared all over his black, shining face, "Earnie" smilingly announced to the judges that he had finished almost before his astonished competi tors had fairly begun. But "Pigs Is Pigs" A greased pig was then turned loose in the crowd. After several persons had almost broken their necks in an effort to grasp the elusive animal, Raymond Beckman secured a strangle, half nelson hold on the pork and walk ed awav with his nrize with a beam j!ng countenance. " " 7 The dive in the flour tank in which nickels, dimes and quarters had been scattered, was another amusing stunt. The contestants' hands were tied be hind their backs and they were .forc ed to root into the flour with their faces, picking out the money with their mouths. The participants stayed until the last piece of coin had been uncovered in its bed of flour and several of them left richer to the extent of several dollars. The greased pole was so "greasy" that none of the kids were able to get to the top. Just as several of them were kicking and scrambling to reach the coveted prize, which was so near and yet so far away, the pole broke under the strain. No one was hurt however, although several of the spectators who were at the receiving end of the falling kids had a close call. List of the Awards. A complete list of the events and the prize winners is as follows. $2.50 being awarded for first place and $1 for second: Event " No. 1. Wheelbarrow race, 100 yards; first prize.

Fall Festival Was One of Most Unique Displays in History of City.

GAY HOLIDAY SPIRIT AFFECTED EVERYONE Parading Column Was Laugh able Collection of Fanciful Disguised Men, Women and Youngsters. Citizens in every kind and variety of costumes formed the Fantastic pa rade last evening which furnished a climax to the greatest pageant in the history of Richmond. The "Panic j Proof City" was out in its entirety, either in the parade or as sightseers, and the crowds were so large from the neighboring towns, that one of the sta tion agents sold all the tickets he had in his office. The small towns were literally depopulated and the greatest crowd ever assembled in Eastern In diana paid homage to the second annual Fall Festival. From the impersonation of an air ship to the kicking machine, every known and unknown style of costume was in the parade. Although there were not as many people nor as many lodges represented, the quality far excelled that of last year. Coeur De Lion Wins. The committee appointed to award prizes for the Fantastic parade, reported that the Couer de Lion lodge won the first prize as the most grotesque, which carried a cash prize of $40. Th second prize of $15, was awarded to the Hokendauqua-Osceola Tribes of Red Men. The most unique lodge, the St. Jo seph Benevolent society, of the St. Andrew's church, won first with a prize of $40. The Post C of the Trav elers-' ' Protective association, winning second and a prize of $15. The best uniformed team, the Modern Woodman, blue and white team, won first with a prize of $40, and the green uniform team of the same lodg? second, with a prize of $15. The Individual creations were probably the most interesting and the following prizes were awarded: Most grotesque to the individual representing the flying machine, Elmer Hawkins. Prize, $10. The second was awarded to the individual dressed in a Sheath gown, (name unknown,) which carried a prize of $5. Woman Given Prize. The third prize was given to the woman impersonating one afflicted with the St. Vitas dance, (name unknown.) The most unique first prize of $10 was awarded to the Earlham college foot ball squad. Second to Carl Jessup as "The Spirit of 1776," and a prize of $5. The third prize of $2.50 was awarded to Steve Kuth in his kicking machine. The committee also gave honorable mention to G. A. Pfafflin as King Carnival, the Protective Home Circle, the Group representing the Nations and the group of clowns. The committee to make awards consisted pt Harry E. Penny, L. S. Bowman and F. C. Mosbaugh. It recommended that since they could not tell who the people were in the various costumes, the ones to whom the prizes were awarded should call on Will Reller, chairman of the Mardl Gras com mittee, and he would give them the cash awards. Dressed as Clowns. The Couer de Lion lodge members were dressed in clown suits and formed a comic part of the parade. The tribe of Red Men was another grotesque impersonation. All the members of the lodge marching in Indian costume?. following the chiefs of the tribe on a large wagon. The St Joseph Benevolent society carried its officers In a decorated cab and the members afoot were dressed in white uniforms, carrying corn stalks as spears. The T. P. A members were dressed as traveling salesmen and each carried a suitcase. The Modern - j Woodmen members were dressed In white, blue and green costumes, and the first prize was awarded to the member dressed in white and blue uniforms. Hawkins Makes Hit Elmer Hawkins in the flying machine, attracted considerable attention. With a large balloon shaped bag and a basket "propelled" by his feet he "sailed" in the parade. Sixty Earlham students with yellow banners and a team of eleven men in football , suits, pulling a decorated wagon with Coach Thistlethwaite and Captain Stanley on a large seat, won the first prize as the most unique. The parade formed at Fourth and Main streets and proceeded to Ninth and Main amid the glow of red light placed in the streets by a vanguard of two green "devils. The Fantastic parade had intended to go north on Seventh street but owing to the blockade of buggies the course was changed to North Ninth and then east on North E street to Tenth, south on
