The number of season tickets sold was
31S9.
A few minutes before midnight the
merrymakers had departed for their
homes and the hall was cleared except by
few of the committee who stopped to ar
range things for the night, and the carni
val with all its excitement, blaze of color
and festivities had passed into history.
The greater portion of the decorations
about the streets was removed, Saturday
though in few scattering places some
remained to DO wet down by the gentle
rain which fell. this morning.
The beautiful weather of the week was
a surprise to all Rain was expected and
it almost seemed to be special favor OF
Providence that no rain fell until about
seven hours after the doors of the Coli
scum had been closed.
The benefits of the carnival have been
many 1t has proved financial success
Although the sale of season tickets was
not as large as some expected, the money
received for single admission tickets
amounted to $1,000 or more, a surprise to
the management. and makes up for thu
small number of season tickets being sold
out of town.
The carnival brought to our city |
thousands of people who required to be
fed although not a large number re-
manned longer than one day. People |
away from home always use money freely. |
Although the amount spent by each visi
tor may not have been large, the aggregate
makes quite sum.
We will remember with pleasure the
cheerful music, the gay doings and the
good humor of everybody.
Reeves American Band of Providence,
is among the few really good bands in the
United states that can please all classes.
No doubt the success of the carnival was
due in great measure to the very fine
music, as people from all over the State
came to enjoy it. One thing in partcu-
lar that strikes us is that Prof. Reeves is
an American, and that he can give a
whole programme of music Of his own
composition.
A large number of our citizens went
down to see the band off for home, on the
steamer kennebec at 730 this morning,
and all regretted to say the word fare
we'll"
And now We will turn our attention to
business The object in arranging this
carnival was to advertise the manufactur-
ing advantages and resources of our beau
tiful city, to awaken our own people, to
stimulate business, to purchase the Coli
scum, and retain it as public hall.
The president of the board of trade,
Mr.. A. W McCausland, has shown fine
executive ability The different commit
tees, composed of capable business men,
have all worked earnestly, unmindful of
self interests, and much hitherto I'M
suspected talent has been developed to join
in with the board of trade in bringing re-
newed activity within our borders
Mover before have our citizens been Sc
firmly united. never did we understand
and appreciate how much interest was felt
for our prosperity by those not immedi-
ately associated with us, day after day.
The different transportation companies
readily came to our assistance, and we all
feel under great obligations to tho man
agement of the Maine Central Railroad,
the Kennebec & Boston Steamboat Co
kenncbec Central Railroad, Eastern
steamboat Co., and y. II. & 6. Electric
Road, to the press and all Others who have
lent their aid and good Will all of which
was Necessary to make tho doings of the
past week success
