How ids 4y w m Celebrated lugeue 8J years ago. lu, We have been handed a copy of tbe i-ugeue Review, of May 5, 1W4, which has long since been dead, from w hich we luke the following: On Tuesday last the May Featlval of i he little maidens of our town's w'hool was held on Skinner's Rutte. I he morning daw ned Inausj Icioualy for Hie festival, but gracious Providence withheld from the chosen ground th bowers which could be seen shedding their grateful rains Uniii the distant bill tops and slopes, to gludi!e:s the lii-aris of husbandmen. Streams of -uimhlue played over and about the hutte w here her Majesty of Msy was io hold her Fairy Court till uoontide, and tlie chilling bree.es that forerrau i tie ruins beyond wer tunpered to oft zephyr, balmy to the sense and uioceii kin to the forms of the buoyant beurled throng of lightly-altln d, youthful maidens, who (lilted and ported there. Ry 10 o'clock all were assembled, the Fairy Court and scores of tittle fellows, w ith their parents, and about one hundred young ladies and young men, come to do honor to i he festival, and to view the pretty exercises of I lie day. The committee of young men to w bom had beeti us iKiied the duty of preparing the grounds hud handsomely performed lln ir part. Under ail umbrageous o- k toe May throne was erected, and fair hands had beautifully decorated II with evergreens and flowers. A lovely reatli, Intended for the regal crown of l lie fair young Queen, was tasielully s'isieuded Irom the arching lanigh of iheeak, which formed a ch-rming eanopy. Tlie joyous ceiemonys were liiiiely inaugurated. I be throning iinl coronal ion of th. choseii Queen of May, Misa I'liis-be Skinner, duiuhtei of our pioneer settler, Mr Kugeue FSklu' oer, wus gract fully perfoi-ued. Kadi ml In lieryoutblul beaut v looked the lair Queen of (he Florllia, and her at lire and adornment were sweetly be simiiig. The young maidens, also eharmiiihily attired, attended as Maids of Honor. A song of joyous greeting to her Majesty of Mav waa sung, to w hich she responded In a brief and 1 1 h i i y address lu eerse. Music fol lowed, then a welcome to tho May Q ieen, delivered by Mr Marion Gale. It wus un appropriate and beautiful production, teeming with pretty tru ditionury allusions, tine metaphors and liai'i'V gems of roesy and song. This part of I lie ceremonial over, the festi vu! procession was performed. In the lap of tho grassy gentle slope the May Pole stood. From base to top It was wreathed and garlanded with w ild and cultivated flowers Inlerwined with twigs of evergreens, and from Its head ail American Hag waved to the breat mg-of tlie bree.e. From the regal bower, around the May Pole, and across tbe sward to the large and handsomely arranged refreshment booth, in which delich lcs and sub stantial were alluringly spread In liberal profusion toallord full feast to all, the gentlemen and youths preseut formed lu open order. Then the May Queen, attended by her Maids of Hon or, and followed by the maidens and Indies preseut as spectators, marched along through th np-u lines, while music gave charm and eltect to the sivne. Among those present to view and honor tlie merry festival waa an sgeil dame whose years have spanned a century, and yet aided only by her -tall, she had performed the long and ilr. some wulk up the Rutte from town. The repast hod hardly concluded w hen threatening storm clouds warned the guy I lining that the festivities iiiuhI speei Illy cease. Accordingly, after a promenade about the grounds and parting s'ulu'aiions to the May Queen Irom her Court, the merry time upon the tut le tcrminii'ed, and all repulred lo their homes-. This movement wi ii, mi I,, none ton soon, for a heavy shower okiii drenched the eurlh The festival was a )oyoiis happy one, und inuy the lay lu succeeding years be us prettily, spptoprialely and delightfully ob served. -In theeveiilng a ball was given y Homer Smith at tbe Si Charles Hotel, and ii -Aasavery Joyous idTalr.
