nine participants was not only the larg

of the most representative, and in view

account for the absence of close matches,

BY THE LIGHT OF THE MOON
Its Rising and Setting Opens and
Closes "Summers Eye" Cotillion.
Unique Prog-ram Include Buttttrflj
Chase, Shooting: ofOwla and Hon
and Opening- of Wine Hottle.
LTHOUGH planned en
tirely on informal lines,
Monday evening's
"Summers eve" Cotil
lion at The Carolina
proved one of the most
enjoyable of the season, and followed
with interest by a large company of
onlookers, representative of every sec
tion of the Village ; the program varied
and entertaining and the favors attrac
tive and appropriate.
The surprise of the evening, unknown
even to the dancers, was the opening
march with no other light save that
shed by a monster full moon, which
rose majestically from behind a miniature
hill to the top of the stage, the effect
of night further emphasized by the
sparklers and vari-colored lanterns which
the dancers carried, and appropriate
music.
The novelties in figures included one

by "shooting," with toy guns, men in
huge paper lion costumes, or tore open
giant wine bottles for the same purpose.
Reversed, the young men "shot" young
women wearing grotesque owl costumes,
or caught with nets, monster butterflies.
Partners were also secured by matching
the faces on moon favors, all nation
flags and playing cards.
The steeplechase which made such a
hit last week, was repeated in new and
even more attractive and complete form
by rearrangement of the hurdles, and in
addition to the judge's stand, where all
races were duly "posted", a booth for
the "bookmaker," plug hat, big seegar
and all (Col. J. E. Smith) who was a
whole "race" in himself, not to mention
the over zealous "cop" (Mr. Ralph N.
Gardner) who strove vainly to preserve
"order." Several events were run off
"hunters," "colts" and "under sixteen"
the latter six young women who went
around the course with the grace and
speed of deer while the crowd went
wild with enthusiasm as the pairs came
down the home stretch neck and neck.
There were blue and red ribbon awards
in each class and the way paper green
and yellow backs flashed about in the
