EAGLE MASQUERADE
LARGELY ATTENDED
AND GREAT SUCCESS
The Eagle masquerade ball on Sat
urday mgni, in spue of the blizzard,
was atleuued by about 43U people. Of
witse about 1115 were masked and per
formed after the maimer ot maskers
a ime szj specuwois sal three liouis
-nd watched the proceedings.
Alost ot ills maskers w ere late m
appearing cn the lloor and the spec
tators had a long wait but when the
tun aid commence it was worth wait
ing tor. Nearly all the customary
cuslowes were prest.nl and a consid
erable uuuiber of uugiuai characters.
When the orchestra, consisting of
Miss Johnson, Axis. tfuign, Air. Oliver,
of. nayue, .tti. ouigu, an. Peter sou,
and Air. Header, began to play barely
a dozen couples res^oiiueu but soon
the late ones came iioojj.ug in aim
the kaleiuoscoptc picture became
highly interesting. There they were
all busily piajmg their parts; the
hand organ man with his tamborine
girl; the gold uusl twins, two sets of
them—a pair of midgets and some
full alze; a cow puncher; a numbei
ot goou coons, male and female; a
suffragette and her hen-pecked hus
band W'ho carried the baby; three
troubadours with a banjo in place of
a harp; tour iuinu lama girls; a
briquette kid; a .Nugget girl with a
costume cleverely devised of newepa
pers; Lucie Silas ot Texas; a couple
of Rubes; a convict with ball and
chain; a sextette of red and black
dmionoes; John Chinaman; a couple
facing backwards; a dockhand; Alas
ka in a nugget-3tudded gown; a paja- •
ma couple; a colonial dame; Italian
with monkey; Sis Hopkins; Jockey in
green; Der Kapltan; Mrs. Katzen
Jama and kids; Ferdinand and Isa
belle; a lone woman prospector; lady
with a hound; Swift's premium boy;
and a score or so of other clever
make-ups.
The most perfect piece of acting
was by the suffragette when she made
her speech in pantomine in the cen
ter of the hall. The ni03t fun was
made by the Italian and his monk,
the musical Rube who joined the
orchestra with his toy trombone and
so convulsed the musicians that they
were nearly thrown out of their
stride; Her Kapltan and Ma; the
swell coon, and the troubadours with
their aide show.
The Judges were: Chairman, Judgo
Tucker; judge3 of gentlemen's cos
tumes, Airs. Darling, Mrs, Pollster,
and Mrs. Klttleson; of ladies' cos
tumes, Messrs. Downing, Pollster and
Ueut. Perrine.
in a spec eh disclaiming all personal
responsibility Judge Tucker award"!
the prizes as follows: Most original
holy character, Blanche as laay wuu
dog; best dressed lady character,
Mrs. F. W. Peterson, as Isabella;
u.si sustained tuay cnaracter, Mrs.

Kapilan; special prize, Miss Uuby
Martin as man. looking backwaru;
special prize, Mis3 Nina Elye as suf
r_ gene's husband; special prize,
CJi'iord Holden as monkey.
Of the nineteen prizes awarded any
other Jury could huruly have failed j
it give prizes to about fifteen ot j
these who received them, though not
necessarily as they w'ere awarded.
For instance the colonial lady was not
or g nal. Bhe wa| the very autithesis
of this but she belonged among the
winners undoubtedly for the richness
of her costume and becuuse she
played the part. Another jury most
likely would have awarded at least
tour of the prizes to nay of a dozen
'or so characters who received noth
ing. But on the whole the judges
picked out the winners in accordance
with the popular verdict.
A little humor was Injected Into
the awards when the lady Jurors
gave prizes to men who turned out
to be women and other surprises took
p'cce as well.
The floor committee, consisting of
J. W. Warwick, Nels Bwansberg,
Btigeant Christman, Chas. Wolfe and
F. W. Eilly, tvere dre3sed in baseball
uniforms and seemed capable of
handling the roughs at a typical po
licemen’s ball but there was no need
for their servoces as preservers of
order becuuse there was not the slight
est disposition on the part of anyone
to overstep the proprieties.
After the masks were taken fiff
following the grand march just be
fore midnight there was dancing for
a couple hours. The ball goes down
in Nome’s social history as anothei
creditable Eagle achievement.
