Skirt dancers, a Chinaman, Trilby, a Dahomean, and a clown were depicted to a queens taste. A. V. R. Patton enacted the part of the clown and drove a diminutive donkey hitched to a cart. Charley Murray, the umpire, "made up" as a gentleman from "down about Luray" walked inside of a cage for protection
