FIREMEN GET
MANY PRIZES
FOR MASQUE
Prizes, prizes, and more prizes!
Every merchant in the city called upon
by the fire boys for awards to be
given at their New Year’s masquerade
ball responded liberally, and the boys
declare that the prizes, valued at more
than $300, are the finest and most val
uable ever given for their annual
dance.
Two new features will be introduced
at the masquerade this year—the jazz
contest and the eccentric dance, in
the first contest any jazz dances, an
cient or modern, will be judged, but
the committee in charge declares the
tango, jingo or shimmie will be given
preference in the judges' decisions.
In the eccentric dance the prizes
will be awarded to the couple or in
dividuals who give the most graceful
clever, grotesque or novel dances.
The prize waltz will be held this
year as in past masquerades of the de
partment, but as an added feature and
test of the dancers the final contest
ants must finish the dance upon e
fourteen-inch plank laid upon the
floor.
