COLUMBIA CLUB CARNIVAL.

DAYS.

1t VIII Run Its Gny Course for Ten
Days.
A large and en,husia site meeting of
the executive committee having i'll charge
the carnival, 10 be given for the benefit
of the Columbia Athletic Club, was held
last night al the club house. Alexander
Grant presiding, and Alex. Shaw, sccre-
tary.
REPORTS were received from the various
committees and showed most encouraging
progress. and from their work aud The
Individual work OF members of the club.
IL is evident that there is more real Inter
est and enthusiasm Ill the rank and file
of this popular club Than has been shown
III any affair undertaken by the club since
its organization, and success is certainly
assured.
II was decided by the committee to call
the affair carnival. and this Will
be its official designation.
The board of governors, by resolution,
decided 10 turn over the entire house TO
executive committee, from wednesday, De
ceniber 4 10 Saturday, December 4, the
period during which the carnival VIII
he held.
The committee on mat ions held a meeting
Monday night and reported a large number
OF contributions, and a vast amount of inter
est by local business men. The committee
will meet again on Frida evening. Frank
Brown is vice chairman and Charles
Schneider secretary of this important com
mlttee.
A new committee on badges and tick cts
was formed last night. 1t Will have charge
OF all admissions and Of invitations to mil
itary AMI other organizations. This coDi-
mittee consists of Alex. Shaw. chairman;
Dorsey Brown, W. n. Dove, E. II. Harmon,
and Charles II. BaS er.
Among other musical features il is ex-
pected that the Marine Band viii be present
every evening during the carnival. The
committee on amuSements says but little,
but it is known that it is preparing pro-
gramme OF nightly entertainment, which
will contain many novel and attractive
features.
The press committee is taking an active
interest in the matter and will probably
in addition to its other work issue a daily
paper during the carnival. The committee
W in meet in the club parlors tomorrow after
noon at 4:3O O'Clock and full attendance
is requested.
and the interest is general, every man
feeling the necessity for lending his aid
and success in full measure mus necessarily
be the reward for such united effort.
This is the first time since its organization
that the club has gone before the public
Inviting it's material aid in so large an un-
dertaking for its benefit, although 1t has
upon many occasions been most generous
host where the pleasure of Its guests has
been the only compensation.
To further the success OF the present
gratifying boom in club affairs, the board
OF governors of the club, at its meeting last
night decided to waive the present initiation
fee until November ! and the move will
undoubtedly be popular. and result in in
creasjpg the roll with large number of
desirable members. Three months dues
will be required to be filed with every ap-
DlicatiOn.
