OUR CARNIVAL.
The Prospect Continually More Promising
The Revised Programme.


We print the programme of the carnival
again to-day with some slight revi-
sions and changes adopted by the eXecu-
tive committee The cold weather and
snow will give renewed impetus to the
project and no one will now have any fear
that we will not have plenty of good winter
weather. 1t is necessary for great deal
of work to be done to make the carnival
success and we trust every citizen Will
take enough personal interest in the mat
ter to help push it along The city will
undoubtedly be greatly benefited by
successful carnival. There will be a crowd
of people here if the weather is favorable,
and our people must entertain them. The
passenger agents of the various railroads
have arranged a schedule of low rates of
fare. and are going to advertise the carnl-
val thoroughly. Mr.. A. G. StOnegrave, the
Canadian passenger agent of the Central
Vermont road, is taking an active interest
in the matter and Mr.. Thomas l.. Patton
of Montreal, who is great enthusiast in
hockey, will especially interest himself in
securing IA good attendance of hockey
clubs from that city. Let us do our part
