THE NEW YORK CARNIVAL.
A Purely Business Transaction.
IN. Y. HERALD q
r. ia at last q settled fact that New
York is to have a carnival festival, ana
May Is has been finally fixed as the GAIA
OF the two PROFESSIONS: Inc alteIna'yes
of success, failure and success tnat TINS
project has passed through since its
first suggestion by Col. William st.
Martin have tended rather to discourage
those who were at first enthusiastic
about it; but lately the matter has been
taken in hand by a number OF active
business gentlemen, who have organized
themselves into a society called The
Carnival Association of New York.
The society was Incorporated on April
8, under the act Of the Legislature OF
May IL, 1875. It's constitution and rules
are somewhat similar to those OF the
Liederkranz Society. In the certificate
Of incorporation, which has the official
Endorsement OF the Hon. Charles Dono-
hue. Justice Of the Supreme Court, it is
stated that the objects OF the associa-
ton are social, mutual benefit, patri.
otto. gymnastic, musical, dramatic and
lawful sporting purposes" The asso-
citation is organized for twenty years.
Mr.. Dam says that this enterprise was
undertaken on pure business principles.
He considers that It will DO much In re-
wing trade in New York. Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore were year
by year encroaching upon the traffic OF
the metropolis, and its mercantile com
munity were sitting idle and doing
nothing to prevent it. A carnival, SUCH
as ia proposed and intended, will attract
great crowds of people from the sub
urbs, who will spend their money
here. Small business men, contlnu-
ed Mr.. Dam, see at once what a
great benefit such q thing would be to
this city. All the railroads and trans
portation lines have agreed to reduce
| The fares to half price. Ii Cincinnati's
carnival could attract 100000 people
from neighboring towns and villages.
this In New York ought to bring to-
pether at least five times that number.
Each persons expenses and purchases
while here may average $40, and at that
rate they would leave in this city the
enormous sum of $5,000,O00. Such an
advantage az this could not fail to be
appreciated.
THE CELEBRATION.
The carnival celebration will be divid-
ed into two parts. In the day time an
industrial procession. representing az
the varied trades and industries o1 Ihis
CITY. will take place, and in the evening
a Grand categorical and historical pa.
peant will be given. Mr.. Dam assured
the writer that it will be one OF the
grandest events that New York has evel
witnessed.
FUTURE CELEBRATIONS.
Tt is intended to keep this up from
wear to year and give New York new
holiday. The Fourth OF July coming
as it does, in the midst Of the hot sea
son. when all the wealthy citizens are
out Of town, will not possess the inter
est that the Carnival Day will have
People within q radius Of 100 miles
New York will look forward to that da!
with pleasure. Business will be revived

Of the Carnival, but his offer has no
