In any normal contest' of. this event would conclude the festivi ties, but in this case the situation is somewhat different. The new King of Hearts assumes a completely casual air. Such in sincere boredom is, of course, only a cover up for his great pride and new feeling of prestige. There re mains only one solution to the problem which throughout the years has become a tradition in connection with this contest. The new king must be thorough ly dunked.
