lively Be the Night of Nights
There.
Grand Preparations Are Being Made
for the Finest of Aquatic
Parades.

The most important meeting of the ex-
ecutive committee of the might in
Venice" carnival. to be produced at Belve-
dere August g. was held last night at the
residence of Eugene Davis, on the pretty
promontory. The heads of all committees
were present, with the exception of FL. l..
Searles of the conveyance committee, who
was represented by DR.. George K. Frink.
Director General James S. Hawkins pre-
sided. The finance committee, through
Chairman Ball, announced that the sum
of $1O05 10 had been subscribed, which was
SIS 10 above the amount required.
J. D. Maxwell, chairman of the press
committee, stated that the following resi-
dents of Belvedere would receive the quill
drivers:
C. o. Perry, DR.. Frink. Mr.. Harmon, J. s.
Hawkins, J. d. Keef, Robert MEG. Gill, Eugene
Davis Castle Crest; j. D. Maxwell, Corinthian
Yacht Club; Villa restaurant; Hugh Hume, DR..
Haines, J. A. Parsons, J. E. Haven, J. Webster
Droney, Edgar NJ. Wilson, jesshouse.
1T is generally reported, said Mr.. Max
well, that all the homes of Belvedere will
be thrown open to the public, but this is a
mistake. Where cards accompany invita-
tons from any resident of Belvedere the
persons receiving such cards will be ex-
pected to accept the courtesy extended
them. Beyond that both the homes and
the arks will be occupied by the individuals
who own them. There will be plenty OF
room for the public to witness the aquatic
parade from various natural points"
In order to add to the beauty OF the
decoration the sum of SIS was allowed to
place lanterns on the bridge and otherwise
illuminate its approaches.

surpassed pyrotechnic display.
Eugene Davis and Robert McGill, APP
pointed as a committee to secure the
prizes, have selected handsome red and
yellow pennant for the best decorated
yacht, the name of the winning yacht to
be emblazoned upon it. Handsome silk
banners, in the carnival colors, red and
gold, will be awarded the best decorated
ark, rowboat and steam launch.
Constable Maher will have a force of
special officers in hand to direct visitors to
Valentines Island, from which point the
fireworks will be set off.
The parade will last about twenty-five
minutes, and all launches and boats will
be subject to the following rules:
All boats to take part in the procession must
assemble in the north end of the cove at 8 :35
and be In their allotted places in line ready to
start at 8:45 sharp.
All launches to have strong painter at least
thirty feet long.
Every launch and rowboat must be decor

There will be two launches accompanying

color, ana as soon as one is lighted and
waved from signal-boats two torches of the
