George SnoWShOe cIuD convened last
evening at the Windsor parlors.
Harry Hardick presided in the alb
sence of DR.. Quinn, the president, and
President Bean, of the carnival as
soclation, was present to encourage
the boys. Mr.. Hardick made neat
little speech at the opening, in which
he alluded to the old-time glories of
the famous club. Not all of the
members have preserved their youth
as we'll as we," he said, but l feel
assured that once the ball begins
to roll most of the old members who
are in town will again get into the
harness, and we can have as good
a season of fun and sport as we
ever had" ,...... ... .,......
Proffting by past eXerience, the st.
George club will begin early on the
suit question. A proposition was
submitted last evening to furnish
suits similar to those worn in other
carnivals for $S.25 each. This is con-
Siderably below the figures of pre-
vious years. No action was taken
last night, in order to secure larger
attendance, and when the meeting
adjourned it was to meet next Mon
day evening at carnival headquar-
ters in the Germania Life building.
At that time officers will be elected
for this season. Eight applications
for membership were received, but
were not acted on. --...

Fifty postoffice employees have put
their names down as the nucleus of
a carnival brigade to be made up of
Uncle Sans workers. A meeting will
be held at an early date to elect Off
GERS and select uniform. Clubs
that leave their orders early will
find they have done wisely, because
later on it will be almost impossible
to secure suits.
w. B. Curtis, president Of the Am
ateur Athletic Union of the United
States, wrote the carnival officers
Yesterday that he favors holding the
annual championship races of the
National Amateur Skating associa-
ton in st. Paul during the carnival
President Bean, Secretary Bowlby
and DR.. w. D. Kelly, chairman of the
subcommittee on skating, at once
forwarded by telegraph formal ap-
plication for the meeting. There
are four championship events, con-
fined strictly to amateurs-quarter
mile, mile, five-mile and ten-mlle
One stipulation. is that a gold, q
silver and a bronze medal must be
provided for the first three, men ir
each race. If pulled off here the
races will be held at Aurora park
where a ten-foot racing track is be-
ing built, five and half or six laps
to the mile. The annual meeting OF
the athletic union is now being held
in New York, and decision will be
reached within a day or two.
Secretary Bowlby returned yes
terday from the East. Everywhere
l went" he said, 81 heard talk OF
the st. Paul winter carnival, ano
had to answer all sorts of inquiries
I shall be surprised if a great many
Eastern and Southern people do MOI
come to st. Paul for the carnlva
this winter. They envy us the pos
session of such a. winter attraction
and so far as 1 could see the effort
of Colorado to steal our thunder
won't be a bowling success"
The board of directors Of the car
nival will meet Saturday afternoon
at 5 o'clock, and hereafter all meet
ings of the directors will be held al
that hour. Committee meetings viii
be held between the hours of IL ano
2 o'clock, and chairmen of commit
tees will govern themselves accord
ingly when calling afternoon meet
ings at headquarters. 1t is founc
necessary to systematize the hours
of meeting in order to facilitate the
great amount of work to be done.
All old members of the Columbia
Snowshoe club are requested to meet
for reorganization next Monday
evening at headquarters in Ger
mania Life building.
A trip to Saltwater is being agi
tated by the Boston and Lafayette
clubs. If they decide to ge, the
trip will be made about the middle
of this month, and all people having
carnival suits will be invited to join
These trips to neighboring towns
proved very enjoyable in other years
The delegates from the different la
Dor organizations, the members ol
which are taking interest in the forma'
ton of a carnival club, met at Assem-
bly, hall last night. There were abou
twenty-five present. The only matter
of public interest considered was the
adoption of a uniform. A committee
previously appointed for this purpose
submitted a sample of suit that me
with general approval and was adopt
ed. This is a coat and trousers o.
gray, with red trimmings and blacl
cap and stockings. A mass meeting
will be held Wednesday evening fol
the purpose of taking action on some
other matters and stirring up more
general interest among union mer
with a. view to making this the banner
club of the carnival. All union men ar'
invited to attend this meeting.
