Decidedly the moat charming and attractive entertainment ol the sea son ?>a the babv show oh last Friday afternoon, wheri about 30 1 of the loveliest, sweetest moal beau tiful little darlings in their deefka ted carriages or holding to tw^ hands of their fair nurties formed a proceaslou which elicited the en thusiaatic admiration of the nutu-ft hers of citizens who bud H?scmbIo?| on the large public square. When we think of f.ho trials 0/ the judges we wonder that thoj did not award a prize to oaoh beau liful baby and to every lovely nurse. There was a tie between little IJes t>ie Lindsay and Mrs. P. T. Ville piguo's little Kmmn, and after much discussion the prize for the prettiest, was awarded to Llm latter who certainly deserved it as did 20 others. Mrs. VV. D. Boy kin's baby, ]<.1a, was adjudged the finest, and she certainly was one of the very prottiest too* The carriages were ail so elabor ately and exquisitely deoorated thatj to mention onevspecially would but) be doing injustioo to the others. Still the j.udges decided that?the| most elaborate in conception and design woa that of Mrs Roland1 Good ale's "three little confederate*" The Utile girl was in a chariot, of grey and gold, ydrawn by her t#p tytle brothers ih confedeVate Gefle ralb' uniform?, even to the perfect minature hats with long plumes, as worn by Lee and Jackson at Ctoe beginning of the civil waf, One of the loveliest of the lit tle girls arrayed in pink even to] shoes and stockings looked so bright nr.d lovefy 'hat so many < jaculaltooaj of admiration were made that the next day when she saw one of the] judges she enquired quite innocent* iy why they had not given her the f prize because everybody tocher she ought to havtf' it. Another lit tle darling of four years and Iqng tlixen curls, arrayed in white ac cordion pleated organdie and satin ribbont wliito slippers, and looking out from the most wondrously beautiful blue eyes, said she did not want a prize because it was for | a liny baby. So after all there waa nut one spark of jealousy in these precious children's hearts aud they were as happy as a choir of little angels, One little gill beautifully golten-up trundled her big doll iu an elabor ately dccoratcd baby carriage. It was just too oute to see the cooing satisfaction of the babies as if they understood it all. It i? a pity to writy ftqy description of it at ail for tJue artistic work of tho mothers an\l the bbauty of the chil dren were \ certainly beyond any word painting, The sweet. girls, Cam chra*s repre sentative l?elles, were 4^oo*a wee t for any thing,1 " and the general opin ion was that each of them deserved a premium as well as did the tiny | tot#, The Kershaw Guards were out in j full forco and fresh uniforoaa and ; had* the vdfea been sold fo^\he i p|ret|iest girl the entire ooriMvWo^M 1 bave_goiLS iLome with empty. #oc kets.
