WHAT IT'S.
The Coming Carnival aud what it.
Principal Feature. VIII Bc.

Some IA k ieS days ago about n
"Business Mems Carnival WAS n
source of my stifcation To the business
men Of the city, becaurc they knew
that they had set nothing of the kind
on foot, and didn't see how the thing
be wh-n it did come. Ii transpires
that the ladies OF the city are the
movers in the matter and are propo,-
ing to make il one Of the most delight
fully interesting things imaginable.
About one hundred young ladies will
figure IN the affair Each one will
represent, or rather ''personify," some
particular business in the city. For
instance, the drug business will figure
largely in the carnival There are
several drug stores in the city, but
each must be represented, and the per-
senator must be so costumed as to des
igDate the firm she represents. How
the ladies will manage 10 get up
enough pretty and attractive costumes
to represent each firm in all the lines
of bu-ine.s in Raleigh is mystery
that no sane man will try to
solve, but the ladies have already
managed it and are .tting ready for
advertisers. All the firms will take
an advertisement in the carnival, and
if they SO wish, may leave the matter
of properly personfying their business
in the hands of the ladies. by this
means each firm will have the advan-
tage of n pretty and unique advertise
ment. and at the same time will have
the peculiar plea .ure Of seeing the pc-
etical idea Of the business expressed by
the ladies. All the one hundred will
participate in songs, marches, iableaux
plays, etc From this it may be seen
that the carnival will be something
"catchy." The ladies are arranging
it for the henefit of the Y. NJ. 6. A.,
and will soon present it.

was Eddy's work in center field. He
dropped everything that came his way
and fly into his territory was as good as
hit any time. 1t was fortunate for the
Tennis boys that there were not more OF
the Bank Clerks who popped them out to
center. Eddy's intentions were all right
but his execution was not up to the stand
ard.
Up to the third inning both teams
played u rattling game, and it was the
toss mp OF cent as to which would win.
In this inning two men were out when
base on balls for Wilcox, an error by
Blaisdell and a cold-blooded muff by Eddy
put Wilcox and Mauran on second and
third. Craw pushed ball down to Col
well and Wilcox started for the plate.
Colwell got within two feet of him, but
instead of putting him out threw the ball
to Harris at the plate, who dropped 1T and
Wilcox scored. That broke the ice and
the side wasn't retired until four more
runs bad been scored, which virtually
won the game. Only six innings We're
played. The score:
