The mass meeting at the Iyceum
theater last night was an enthusiastic
one, but not so well attended as was eX-
pected. The inclemency of the weather
was the cause of this, however, and not
4 lack of interest in the subject matter.
The result of the meeting is that the
summer sport carnival will be reality,
and that no money will be spared in
making it a grand success. About S25,-
600 were subscribed at the close of the
meeting, which, with the $4,000 Of
ftred by Thomas Lowry, makes 4 very
nice sum to start business with. George
Bracket, who is 10 be at the head Of
the carnival committee, announced that
a guarai tee fund of 100000 would be
needed 1t was not desired that few
men should agree to be responsible for
this amount, but that every person in
Minneapolis. who could afford K, should
give little something toward making
up the fund. Previous To the holding Of
the carnival musical entertainments
will be given in the exposition building
for the purpose of raising portion Of
this fund. 1t is thought that the sub
scrIberS will not be called upon 10 pay a
large percentage of the subscriptions.
The following executive committee was
appointed. whose duties Will be to look
after all detail Of lie carnival, and the
raising of the .irs,.S,Try money:

Mayor EustiS was the chairman of the
meeting. lie spoke in an enthusiastic
way OF the event which they all hoped
would bring the city fame and money.
There was no doubt in his mind but it
could be made grand success. All that
was needed was energy and enthusiasm.
lie was OF the opinion that Minneap-
OlltanS would see the braWny crews of
Yale and Columbia battling away for
supremacy on the broad bosom of Min
netOnka, and that event alone would be
ar attraction worth coming TO Minneap-
oils 10 see. George A. Bracket out
lined the plan for tie proposed carnival.
Millions of people would visit Chicago
during the coming summer months, and
1t was to the interest of MinneapolitanS
to have as many as possible to come to
the Northwest. 1t was business
proposition, for every stranger coming
TO minneapolis would bring money with
him. 1t depended how much the city
was willing to advance to bring about
this Decuniary gain. The sum of $50
600 was not much, and the experience
OF Minneapolis had been that whenever
she invested a cent it always came
back. The sport carnival would be an
event worthy of place in the history
OF The Northwest, for it would attract
none but the best amateurs of the cOun-
try to be present.
+. III. Peavey remarked that he was in
favor Of the carnival, for there was no
question i'll his mind but every business
man in the city would be indirectly
benefited. He hoped they would all
put their shoulders to the wheel and
their hands in their pockets. The fact
that the worlds fair city was but one
nights ride away was 4 surety that
thousands Of strangers would attend the
carnival. He was in favor of all manly
sports, and with the champions or all
the world participating in contests, the
event would be one which would bring
the name of the Flour city away to the
front. L. Z. Seeley said he wanted the
people visiting the worlds fair to come
up TO Minneapolis and see its beauties
and resources. The railroads would be
rsAn IN MI cd .
carnival would be advertised from
Alpha 10 Omega. Every person going
into the gates AT the worlds fair would
be given bill telling about the great
sport carnival at Minneapolis. o.
L. Erickson adjured the people to
cooperate with the carnival committee.
He advocated liberal policy and hoped
that. aside from figuring on the matter
of GOIlarS and cents. the whole world
would be shown that III the realms of
fraternity Minneapolis took no back
seat TOR anything on earth.
Aid. J. Z. Haynes stated that he knew
but little about caTnvalS. However. he
was sure the proposed sport jubilee was
the right thing, and he doubted if the
citizens OF the city fully understood the
matter. He doubted if they fully APP
preciated the work being done bg the
public-spirited gentlemen having the
affair in charge. A public sentiment
was needed to make it a success, and he
hoped that one and all would come to
the fore. Manly sports should be EN-
cOuraged. for il tended to lessen the
hold of sports that are not manly. This
carnival would advertise the CITY and
draw towards it good citizens from
everywhere. 1t was political as well
as social question, and a benefit to
every individual In the community, no
matter whether he owned cents
worth OF property or not.
W. q. Byron spoke feelingly on the
subject, aud incidentally interpOlated a
good advertisement for the exposition.
5. E. Olson and William Donaldson were
in favor of the carnival, and willing to
aid in every way. The latter said that
it was necessary for rich and poor to
help in making it a success. The COM
mittee could call upon him for anything
1t saw fit, and he would do all ne
could in pushing the carnival
scheme forward. Ii. G.. Elel was
enthusiastic in his advocacy OF the car
niYal. He said he had been a skeptic
on the matter of public demonstration
in the days gone by, but since the open
ing of the exposition and the holding of
the harvest festival and national con-
vention he had changed his mind. II
was not alone the real estate man and
merchant vino were benefited, but the
cabman, mechanic and laborer, all re-
ceived their share of the accruing good.
