Show Awarding of Prizes a! the Baby Show Held on City Mail Square Friday A modern Shakespeare, writing a new version of the "Seven Ages of Man," would have found material In abundance for his creation if it could be called that, on the city hall square after 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At least ho would have found material for writing the first section of his poetic composition. For at that place and at that time appeared one of the largest collection of babies ever assembled as-sembled in Ogden for the purpose of being scored. Tho event was the Baby Show, part of yesterday's Harvest Har-vest Festival and Fashion Show program. pro-gram. Tho baby collection was, indeed, of cosmopolitan character, tho Ethiopian, Caucasian and Japanese races being represented. And every mother was there to seo that her little one received re-ceived tho attention required to keep the child In good humor. The extreme ex-treme warm weather which prevailed while tho show lasted did not add to serenity among tho infant children. Despite this clement of discomfort, the babies did not appear very fretful fret-ful and with wobbling heads and eyes askanco surveyed the situation abstractly. ab-stractly. If tho Immature mind could have reached any conclusions, the babies, in all probability, would havo pronounced tho show a "matter of course." Tho infants seomed not to care a darn whether they were staring at a judge, or a whole judge and jury, for that matter. They did not recognizo anybody, outside their parents or immediate membors of the family of which they were a part, be-cause be-cause everybody else was a stranger to them. Tho Baby Show was staged in the north section of the park, which had been enclosed for that purpose with a wire netting. Officers at the entrances, en-trances, defined by arched gates, kept a close watch to prevent any unnecessary unneces-sary congestion on the show grounds and governed admissions accordingly. Representatives of the press, Fash-Ion Fash-Ion Show officials or officers of the law, who wero entitled to enter, not through special prlvllcgo, but because their presence was necessitated by tho demands of their business in connec-1 tion with the display of humanity still in the first stages of development, were admitted and permitted to roam about without molestation. The park trees afforded sufficient protection from the blazing sun. About all the babies wero parked beneath tho green boughs. The semi-circular arrangement of the display afforded a conveience to the judges in their work. The scoring was executed and tabulated with precision. The order maintained in the work won the gratitude grat-itude of the mothers, who did not wish to keep their babies in waiting longer than was absolutely necessary. The success of the show was attributed at-tributed to tho untiring efforts of rp.nk M.
