FULL PARTICULARS OF THE CARNIVAL TODAY
EVERY ARRANGEMENT MADE TO INSURE sue
CEss-THE RACE AT BENNING's.
Yesterday afternoon the scene of the day be-
fore was repeated in regard to sleighing, each
one trying to get more Of the enjoyment out of it
than his fellow. As much pleasure was depicted
on the faces of the lookers-on, with whom the
Avenue was crowded the whole of its length. as
on those OF the riders, and the heart of many a
fair lady was swelling with envy because she was
debarred from joining in the fun. ltwould be too
great task to attempt 10 give the names of the
many bellies seen on the Avenue, but to see them
fash past, with the rosy blush of health brought
was a sight worth going to see, and put phase on
Washington life not known for a long time.
All the arrangements for the Carnival this af
ternoon are now perfect, and the committee re-
quest the general public to meet, masked, at the
south front of the Treasury, at o'clock p. m,
when the sieighs will form in procession under
coed down the Avenue to the Capitol; thence to
the W hte House, returning to the Capitol, where
procession no racing will be allowed, that being
reserved until after the disbandment. 1t would
be well il the barrels and lumber could be re-
moved from the south side of the Avenue.
:. THE PROCESSION
will reform at o'clock p. m, and to give extra
brilliancy TO the pageant Mr.. Monkey, the COS
tuner, whose resources will be taxed to fill the
call made 70. costumes, will provide large cal
cium light mounted on sleds to move with the
procession on its way. The chief marshal OF the
occasion. Colonel Boyd, has appointed as his
aids Messrs. W. b. Moses, Allison Nailor, ir.,
L. Moxley, q. W. Thorn, NJ. William. J. F. Cake,

Duncanson. Major Richards can contribute
considerably.to the anticipated enjoyment by in
structing the police officers to suppress the dan
gerOus practice of snow balling that has com
menced among the boys. A large omnibus
sleigh is to be provided for maskers having
conveyances. OF course such n programme can
not but be grand success, On account of the
sleighers beng all agOg with the preparations
for todsy's fun, Mr.. Hill, Of
JENNINGS RACE TRACK,
postponed the proposed sweepstakes until Mon
day at O'Clock p. m, when a good number of en-
tries are expected. But very few upsets were
made and considering the crowd and the pace
that some go at 1t is a matter Of considerable
wonder. A lady and gentleman got a tumble
near Seventh and the Avenue, but it was not at
all serious, as they got up and resumed their
journey. French Queen and Sam Proctor. of the
st. James, were out behind fast horse OF Burg
derff's and met with a slight accident on the
Avenue. In endeavoring to pass a country wagon
the sleigh was upset. French stood on his head
for the frat time, as he says since he was boy,
while Sam made a dive into a snow bank and
came out with his mouth filled with the beautiful.
