Autograph of which was exhibited near the
presidents desk. The meeting was repre-
sentative of the st. Paul Ice Palace
and Winter Carnival association and
of the business of the city.
President MaXfeld. of the Carnival associ-
alton. called the meeting to order, and said
if he had had any doubts of the carnivals
success it was dispelled by the number
present He said the directors had called
the mass meeting to ask the cooperation OF
the citizens. A big thing had been under
taken, but no attempt would be made to do
too much. The carnival last year was a
success, far more elaborate than Montreal
ever had, This year it would be far
greater. and Mr.. Van SIyke, who possessed
very imaginative mind. would explain
the Examinations in contemplation.
THE LAMENTATIONS.
Mr. Van Slyke said that the illumina-
lions would cost as planned, S11, 600, and
he enumerated the streets to be Illuminated.
as already published in the GLOBE. He
said the ice palace would be the grandest
the world had ever seen, with innumerable
displays. He had just received plans
for nine floats, drawn by the
artist who did the drawing for
the Yelled Prophet at New Orleans. But
in addition to the ice palace it was neces-
sary to have clubs organized. They wanted
from 5000 to 6. 900 uniformed men during
the carnival, The managers. he said. were
not undertaking the carnival to make
money. as they had to do a great deal Of
work and go down into their own pockets.
By the carnival of last year st. Paul was
more extensively advertised than ever be-
fore, and with the aid of the citizens
this year the city would be given something
to be proud Of D. r. Moves spoke of the
healthful activity engen6ered by the carni-
val, which was principally desired as enter
tainment for the people during the winter.
Last year half dozen men stood behind
the carnival, but did not propose to do it
again. This year the city was boldly asked
to do something. and would do it, which
would form the basis of the work. The
citizens were not to be asked to take stock
this year, but would be asked to give
money. He thought the SO. 600
remaining from last year ought
not to be disturbed, as much
of the stock was taken by poor pkOple who
thought it the grandeSt stock in the world.
He then told who he wanted to give the
money, reading from a circular, list of
business classes and the amount his COM
mttee thought they ought to give. Mr..
"a
his talk on the finances and said that there
was not a single branch of trade
that was not benefited last year.
Mr.. Smalley seconded these remarks about
the carnival advertising. He said that in
all parts of the country in which he had
been. whether in New Y ork, New Orleans
or Portland, Ore, he had not talked with
man five minutes without his mentioning
the carnival and asking if another would
be held He had told all that the carnival
would be held annually as long as they
lived. These remarks of Mr.. Smalley'S
were
GREETED WITH APPLAUSE.
Col A Allen spoke Of the street iIlumi-
nation. the plans for doing the work and
its expense. He proposed that the residents
of streets should appoint committees to
have the illumination done. His enthusiasm
over the illumination proved contagious
and be was repeatedly greeted with ap-
plauSe.
The chair read list of committees for
illumination of streets, already appointed
by the association, and good deal of time
was consumed in forming committees to So
lcit among the different classes of business
men, and in adding the list of classes. The
president said he had assurances from ma

be ready to join in the work. The Shinah-
to club announced that it would be ready
for duty this evening. Mr.. Tall
mage suggested that on a certain after
noon in each week some street be set apart
for use for driving, heavy travel being eX
cluded. on which turnouts could be eXhib-
tied all through the winter. He had in
mind particularly Summit avenue, Sixth
street, Broadway, Eighth street, Lafayette
park and Tenth street, as ones not having
street car lines.
