"People said last year that the interest
in the carnival would not be as noticeable
another year as it was then, but judging
from reports and inquiries sent in to us,
there will be greater furore this year than
was dreamed of year ago." remarked
George Thompson, secretary of the Carni-
val association, to a GLOBE man yesterday
afternoon. Il believe there will be more
clubs and greater turnOutS than ever, and
that the carnival will be carried on more
wildly and with greater rush than last
year" .,
the reporter.
For two weeks only" said the
secretary. 1--WE shall lay out
a programme that will I'LL every day for a
fortnight, and not try to keep up the ell
thusiasm for month, as We did last year.
We want to have everything go with rush
when it does 60. and then let the flame go
out in blast rather than gradually flicker
away and die out"
I'VE want to urge on the public the i'm
portance of putting the city in carnival
attire and this will be one of the objects OF
the meeting of citizens which the Carnival
association has called at the chamber OF
commerce on Friday night. That ought to
be big meeting. You can announce that
Mr.. Van SIyke. the chairman. will
be there and will have something
to say from the stage. The gallery
of the chamber will be open, and there will
be room for ALL The hall will be properly
deco rated. and it is the intention to make
the meeting the first great boom of the
carnival
IL conversation with members of the as
ISOLATION. it appears that at the executive
sessions a great deal Of talk and free dis
cussion has been had, and that many Of the
details of the carnival have already been
settled.
THE PLANS FOR THE PALACE.
The plans. among other things have
been carefully looked over and have been
adopted. Members of the association think
they have the outlines of what will be a
much more beautiful palace than the one
last year. 1t will be larger in each of its
dimensions, and will be of a diff
ferent form. Last winters palace
was $50 feet long by $50 feet wide.
and the plans adopted now are for palace
pit by 1914 feet. The central tower will
also be about 20 feet higher than was the
one last year. The entire palace will cover
$4,000 square feet. The form of the palace
will be that Of a Latin cross. and the CEN
trail tower will be hexagonal instead of rec
tangular as was the one last year. Each OF
the angles will be tower. or turret. the
one at the southeast corner being somewhat
larger than the others and carried IA feet
above the main tower. terminating IN
pointed roof of evergreenS. The carnival
flag will fly from this turret. The tower
will stand within court, the walls OF
which will rise to height of % feet. At
each angle will be other turrets of different
designs which are intended to carry the
flags of England. France, Ireland, Germany
and Sweden. The palace will not be To-
Gated in the same spot as the one last year,
but will be further over to the west. In
the circular wall at the farthest point from
the main structure, facing Summit avenue,
is the grand entrance. 1t is thrnugh huge
arch, much resembling Norman arch in
character On either side the wall will
taper into graceful buttreSSeS. and will be
surmounted by pedestal upon which will be
a colossal statue of King Borealis. seated,
supported on either hand by a polar
bear, rampant. holding cOlored electric
light. The general appearance of the
palace will be novel and striking. 1t is q
decided departure from the orthodox style
adopted at Montreal and copied in st. Pam
last year It will require mere time tC
build the palace than was occupied last
winter and as the present cold has given
the ice, the work will soon be begun.
STREET ILLUMINATION.
Aside from the illumination of the palace
the street Illumination will be on a gorgeous
scale. 1t is proposed by the association tC
illuminate streets that. if in a straight line,
would make a stretch of eight miles
Among these streets will be Third. from
Seven corners to Sibley, jackson. Sibley,
ST. Peter. Wabasha, Sixth anC
Robert. More attention will also
be paid this year than last tt
the street paradeS aud the Carnival aSsO
citation Will extend and enlarge the ideas
suggested by the tOboggan clubs, in the
way of odd devices and equipages, to be
drawn through the streets. There will be
trains OF elke and of buffalo. ponies and St
Bernard dogs attached to floats of unique
and striking design.
All this a,d much more has been mapped
out by the Carnival association, and mucl
OF it viii be unfolded to the public at the
meeting OH Friday night,
