At either side sat her Maids of Honor, Miss Peterson and Miss Barclav, while her Pages, Master Covell and Master Pritchard, sat at the foot of the throne. When all was ready for the coronation, Lord Chamberlain John Allen placed the crown on the Queen's brow, saying: "I christen thee Inez I, Queen of the Corvallis Carnival."

Queen Inez bore her self with dignity, and her sub jects were proud ot the stately lady they had chosen to rule dur ing Carnival week. THE BIG SHOW. As Seen by Representative of tlie Ga zette Dorian; s Recent Visit- - As we approached the Carnival grounds we heard the bands play ing, the lions roaring and the merry-go-round. In fact, there was something doing every place. Coining closer we sighted the nine fine waterproof canvass pa villion witU their beautifully (Striped side mU; Neat toe main entrance we rntt tne mi proprietor, Uu Arnold, ana alter a few pleasant wordi with him, we passed the Smiling faces of the ticket sellers, and on into the big Oriental Carnival. There we saw on the mam stage acts excelled by none: The De Gar ros, the Roman ringr experts: the Victorellas, the triplebar won ders. Their hand-to haud and foot-to-foot ballancing . was im mense. Travola and the Doe family fill important parts of the show. Prof. Home's monkey and dog circus shows what may, ue ac complished by months of hard training. The dog performs many new and exceedingly in teresting acts. The trick- cot tage, hoop-rolling jugglers, aero bats and numerous other attrac tions claimed our attention, but by this time confetti was coming -a . . -r on, and we passed into tne Lor- retta Vaudeville show. Here we saw a revelation m nign class vaudeville, the little ones display ing skill, science and daring in their mid-air gyrations. The. actors in the Japanese Theatre showed before royalty 18 months ago, in Tokio, Japan. Their acts are new and their ex hibition is thrilling and marvel ous. The work that most astonishes is done by Wallace's famous glass blowers. It is a grand : sight to see the glass machines working in full view. - Next we came to the Electric Theatre. Scenes were depicted upon a screen 15-feet square, as clear and life-like as if they were real, and all the great events of late years were vididly shown. The machine is Thos A. Edison's very latest and the scenes are as fine as any ever seen in Corvallis. Now we looked up and found we were in the plantation show with Dick Robinson and his troupe of sure-enough Southern darkies. They give r an enter tainment of singing," ragtime ana buck and wing dancing that is not slow. We spent about an hour in the menagerie. Here weres many specimens of beasts of prey, and after taking a number of snaps with our, kodak, we went into the streets o f Cairo, with the Hindoo magicians, sword fighters, danc ing girls, etc. This show will be patronized by many. We completed the afternoon with a ride on the camel j Holy Moses, a trip on the merry-go- round and a swine on the ferris wheel. COUNCIL NOTES.
