The carnival directors showed up at
the meeting yesterday afternoon in full
force and talked for two hours over the
preparations for the coming carnival.
They decided to give Contractors
Rheaume and st. Pierre the contract
for building the fences, toboggan slides,
warming-rOOms, the officers quarters
and the press headquarters for $3,455,
and the contract to build the ice gates
and put up statuary for $430. No pains
are to be spared in putting up magi
niticent arch at the entrance of the
grounds, and the Statuary is to exceed
by far anything of last year or of the
first carnival. A new departure is the
press headquarters. Places are to be
built exclusively for the press, where
good view of everything can be com
manded.
Capt. Ed S. Bean was once more
elected marshal of the carnival and
commander-in-chief of the carnival
clubs. Capt. Bean will proceed at once
to arrange the order of parades and get
everything ready for big turnouts. To
this end the following notice is given by
Secretary Mum to all the clubs intend
ing to turn out:
All clubs intending to participate in
the coming carnival paradeS must report
at once their names, number of men,
berS, names and residences OF officers
and uniforms to the secretary of the
carnival association, at carnival head
quarters, in the Hotel Ryan. The posi-
ton of the clubs in line will depend
upon the order in which they report to
the secretary.
