"A1askan Cyclorama."

The burlington COasting club held a
largely attended meeting at the Van Ness
House Monday in the interest of the APP
preaching carnival. Eight names were
presented for admission, and twenty -one
were elected members. The committe on
carnival funds reported that they had sue
ceeded beyond their expectation in their
work of raising money, and assured the
clab that all required would be easily OBJ
tanned. 1t was voted that all traverses
should be named and registered with the
secretary, in order to save confusion on

The following gentlemen were elected
as the committee of arrangements and
floor managers for the carnival ball, on
the evening of Friday, Feb, 10: Louis II.

The greatest enthusiasm was manifested
by he large number present in relation
To the carnival and every member eXhib-
its Il disposition to do active work in prep
aratlon for that event, or rather series of
events.
The building preparations for the carn-
val have received Il new impetus with
the beginning of work upon the new Rus
sian toboggan Slide an the lake and the
! ALASKAN Cyclorama" in the City Park
/ both of which will prove great additions
/ to the host of attractions. The toboggan
| slide of the Russian style has the advantage
over the ordinary slide from the fact that
a return chute lands the passenger where
he started from. One end of this slide
will be at the Central Vermont wharf ut
the foot of College street. where the wait
ing rooms have been kindly placed at the
disposal of the visitors and the other end
will be at the breakwater. 1t is proposed
to have the chutes between forty and fifty
| feet high and 100 feet long and the length
of the slides will be over one thousand
feet long. Just north of the slide
viii be located the ice skating rink, which
Will cover five or six acres and be suitably
enclosed where the hockey matches will
take place. and near this will be situated
the quarter mile track for the snow-shoe
and other races. Ample arrangements
Will be made for spectators who wish to
see these sports. "A prominent feature of
the carnival will be the Alaskan Cyclic
rama" but Il faint idea of the design of
which can be gained from the structure in
progress in the city park until near com
pletlOn. 1t has already excited great curl
osity and will undoubtedly continue so to
do until the carnival opens. The arrange
ments are also making good progress for
the decorations and arches, booths, grot-
| toes and other devices which will decorate
our city. AS the time draws near the ind-
cations grow more certain that in this, us
IN everything else, Burlington will do her
| self proud.
