Lake Junaluska, July 24—First prize in the annual boat pageant on Lake Junaluska was won by Mrs. J.B. Ivey of Charlotte, with the entry “Fairyland” according to the judges’ decision announced today. The pageant, which was held late yesterday, is a part of the program of the annual assembly here of the Methodist Episcopal church, south.
Other winners of prizes were: the Mission building, Nashville, second prize for entry. “Light of the World” Jack Gerrold, Tampa, Fla., third prize; “Dragon Queen” Mrs. Courtland Jerolman of Knoxville. Miss Kittie Stubbs of Sumpter, S.C., received honorable mention.
The decision of the judges was based on the beauty and general effectiveness of each float. Prizes of silver loving cups were awarded by Miss Josephine Cowan of Lake Junaluska at the auditorium here after she had been crowned queen of the pageant.
Approximately 5,000 persons witnessed the program, and an estimated gathering of nearly twice that number lined the shore of the lake to see the pageant which preceded it.
