SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS: THURSDAY MORNING. APRH. 27,
i y
Court of Titania, Queen of Fairies, Attends Cotillion, First Fiesta Frolic
DUCHESS OF
STARLIGHTIN
SEDAN CHAIR
Unique Figures in
Happy Dance for
Entertainment
of Royalty.
THE Court of the Queen of the
Fairies, duchesses, ladies, dukes,
esquires, was at the first big society
event of Fiesta Week last night, the
annual San Jacinto Cotill'on, at the St.
Anthony Hotei.
For years the San Jacinto Cot'-H^r.
Club has entertained the Queen of the
Fiesta and Fiesta royalty. It leads off
the social calendar of the week, fol-
lowed by the Queen's reception, with
the coronation itself, the glittering anJ
impressively beautiful link-between.
But in all the long history of the club
there has never been an occasion more
harmoniously perfect than the affair of
last night.
Peacock alley had been transfored into
a veritable palm garden, shut off from
the outside l»y imported .Japanese bamboo
Kates, covered In trailing wisteria. After
entering bete tbe guests either enjoyed
the comfortable chairs and divans or
t-ouffbt the ballroom, to enjoy the dance.
The receiving line was composed of Col-
onel F. L. Town, the president, and the
following ladies: Mesdaines H. P.
Drought, Frederick Funston, George Hell
,lr., John Darragh and Floyd Mctiown. The
ballroom was decorated in the club col-
ors, yellow, white, and green. About the
room Southern ami lax nuug in festoons
from the dato to the floor, intermingled
in exquisite harmony with the smilax were
■cores of yellow jonquils, and ut each
spray of lights were large clusters of
white Easter lilies tied in graceful bows
of yellow maline, the fragrance of the lilies
permeating the air throughout the ball-
room.
In the alcoves of the great room Japan-
ese screens were placed to further give
the appearance of a .Japanese tearoom.
The punch bowl was decidedly attractive,
surrounded by Faster lilies and ferns, and
occupied the end of peacock alley. The
programs were unusualy effective, carry-
ing out a black and white color scheme.
The club initials were embossed in black,
the pencils aud cord in black also. Twelve
dances were recorded and one cotillion.
Supper was served in the tapestry room,
the tables being decorated in a profusion
of roses. The orchestra of fifteen pieces
rendered a delightful program for the
dance as well as during the supper hour.
The feature of the evening was the co-
tillion, led by Chase Holland, dancing
w'.fh Miss Evelyn ilaile, followed directly
by Will Holdeu ami Miss Edna Steves.
•In this figure the couples divided as
they entered the ballroom, makiug a circle
of the room. Upon reaching the far end.
the girls formed a double Hue down the
renter of the room, touching their wands
so as to form an aisle down which came
the men, breaking into the one-step.
The merry jingle of bells of the jesters'
wands carried by the girls and the bells
trimming the vari-colored pierrot caps
worn by the men announced the coming
of the dancers and added to the spirit
of the one-step "frou-frou.'* Into the
ballroom danced the gay bn»d, keeping
time with the bells.
In the second figure of the cotillion the
couples entered, marching the length of
the ballroom, returning in fours and then
breaking into single file, with Miss Haile
loading the dangers into a spiral, at the
conclusion of which the partners danced
off.
The second leaders were Chase Holland
nnd Miss Haile, with Howard I'ardue and
Miss Storrow Devine Smith, following. In
this figure the ballroom, for the time
being, resembled a veritable symphony of
color at a spring millinery opening. The
girls carried large hat boxes, some of bril-
liant. hue, of Colonial design; others were
in Dresden covering, while still others
were in the prevailing striking stripes of
black and white. The whole made a novel
picture. The boxes were carried suspended
from the shoulder by wide satin ribbons
of various hues. Inside the boxes were
miniature boxes in corresponding colors
containing attractive hats of the latest
Parisian and New York designs.
With trimmings of French flowers,
foliage and gay plumage to correspond
to these, the men wore black top hats and
carried canes after the fashion of the
French dandy. Appropriate to the oc
casion the orchestra played a medley of
the airs "Put on Your Old Gray Honnet."
and "Where Did You Got That Hat?" set
ting the dancers by the heels. In this,
the large numbers of banjos used in the
orchestra were heard to advantage. rlhe
plunk, plunk, plunking brought out the
time very distinctly. As the grand march
proceeded the length of the ballroom, it.
was pronounced oue of the most pic-
turesque figures ever given in San An-
tonio. in the third and last figure Mr.
Holland and Miss Haile were closely fol-
lowed by Willard lterman and Miss Mar-
jorie Metcalfe.
In the Sedan chair* figure the daucers,
entering the room, formed a circle, at
the conclusion of which Miss Evelyn
Haile. seated in a golden Sedan chair,
rich I v upholstered in blue satin, was borne
bv four Africans. In this she made a
circle of the ballroom on the outskirts of
the circle. All the while, red. white, and
blue lights were alternately being thrown
on the dancers. As Miss Haile reached
the far eud of the ballroom it was dark-
ened and a vivid spotlight was thrown
directlv upon her, when she alighted, as-
sisted by her dancing partner, Chase liol-
11 with stirring patriotic airs from the
orchestra the dancers were announced,
oneh earrving aloft large silk flags in the
National colors. They danced to 'The
star Spangled Ranner, Dixie, The
Stars and Stripes Forever" and "America.
I I.ove You," woven into an entrancing
medley, dancers, patriotism, and color. The
brilliant colors of the flag In contrast to
the exquisite shades of the gowns of the
dancers formed a brilliant picture. Aside
from the favors the guests were presented
with dainty souvenirs of the evening.
To the girls were given sterling silver
chatelaine lip stick cases and dorin boxes
and the men received sterling silver belt
buckles.

The purple pilot of parade, heading the
Illuminated exposition of Snn Antonio

OVER 400 ENTRIES—PUPPY CLASS
IS JUDGED IN PART—MANY
PERSONS ATTEND.
The greatest kennel show ever held in'ifk
the South opened yesterday at 117 Main
Avenue under the auspices of the San
Antonio Kennel. Club. Visitor * agreed
with officials that the openins was a
"howling" success. At times when the dumb
animals were ut their best with their
tenor screeches and bass howl i persona
scarcely could carry on a conversation,
over 40(1 dogs, from tln.v t'hihhahuas to
htine hounds, were on the bench.
A portion of the puppy class was judged
last night, and the part of tho task re-
maining will be completed this forenoon.
The official judge of the show. Dr. .T. B.
DeMund. who Is here from Brooklyn, N.
V., for tbe work, passed on over fifty pup-
pies last night. The names of the prir.e
winners in this class will be published to-
morrow.
it was estimated that there were mora
than 1,0(10 paid admissions to the show
yesterday and last night. Women seemed
to be In the preponderance. Many women
ar» exhibitors and some have remarkably
splendid specimens of the canine family.
Among the exhibitors and visitors was
little Miss Har.el Dornstln of 11H Kast
Crockett Street, daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs.
T. ,1. Dornstln. Miss Hazel lias licr eighth
birthday to see yet. Her entry Is an an-
gora poodle. His name is Moody and ha
Isn't nine months old. Miss tlanel ami
Noody are great friends. Indeed, they
never have been separated except just
when the young ladv Is at school. When
.Noody bears his young mistress returning
home he will stick up his ears, big eye*
will brighten and he will scamper down
the street saying "how-do-you-ilo" with
shrill barks.
Miss Haael thought so much of htr
frltnd that she decided he might win a
unite for himself on tbe bench, so she
entered him. Then, It appeared, she re-
gretted It, for when the time cam" to leave
Noody In all that crowd of barking dogs.
Koine large enough to swallow him. Miss
Haiel expressed her regret in no unmis-
takable manner. She wept. Nhe cried
aloud. She refused flatly, positively and
without compromise to leave Noody to
whatever fate might await him. So for
hours she sat ou the edge of Noody's stall
and it required all the kindly persuasion
that her mother was capable of *o get Ml»<
Liaiel home to dinner.
A. W. Nunn, superintendent of tha
show, expressed considerable gratification
at the success of the show so 'ar. Stanley
,1. Miller, chairman of tbe be-ieh show
committe. also was much pleased.
Dr DeMund remarked that this I* the
largest bench show be has seen outglde
the big Eastern cities. He commented on
the unusually large number of colllaa be-
ing shown. They number seTenty. and
the judge declared this to be the largest
number benched In his knowledge foff
many yeara.
