MUCH MONEY WILL COME
The Carnival Committees Hopes
of Coed Financial Aid Are
Frightening.
Merchants. Real E.ta.e Men and
Large Corporations Are
Interested.

Within two hours yesterday morning
the special committee of The Carnival of
the Golden Gate received assurances from
large corporations, hotels and real estate
men which led it 10 believe that by
the next meeting of the executive commit
tee on Tuesday afternoon it will be able to
report pledges of not less than $780, 900.
w. II. Mills and Henry J. Crocker
called upon II. L. Huntington OF the
Southern Pacific Company and.t1 iced the
matter before him. He stated that the
matter had been discussed, and that he
was confident the board of directors, at its
meeting on Monday, would donate large
appropriation, and also expressed the
same sentiment as regards the investment
OF the Market-street Railway Company.
Colonel Stone, who visited the hotels,
reported that $1,000 at least could be ex-
peeted from them. This only refers 10 the
larger hotels in the City. The private
otels and larger boarding-houses have
not yet been canyassed.
David Rich was only able to see two of
the larger real-estate dealers, but has re-
ported that the outlook is equally as favor
able as Colonel Stone stated. These two
firms are ready 10 contribute $1,000 between
them.
Tomorrow the committee will again
continue their labors- Saturday beng half
holiday, il was imposS bic TO visit ali the
places that were expected ana the re-
mainder will be seen tomorrow. The
water, gas and electric light companies
have not yet been visited. II. ]. Crocksr.
outside of the railroad com pany's sub
scription. has agreed not to bring in less
than 5000 at the next meeting of the COM
mittee. In addition to the larger amounts
ment on the carnival proposition have
been made to the various members of the
committee. After the meeting of the
special committee on Monday afternoon
the smaller subscriptions will be called in.
The executive committee have decided
10 offer special premium TO Newman q
Leyison for tine display of carnival colors
in their windows yesterday. The idea of
the committee WAS for q general decora-
ton of the windows yesterday afternoon,
in order to attract attention to the carni-
val, but many OF the larger stores found
It impossible to arrange their windows In
time. In recognition OF the fact that
Newman d Levison made this sacrifice,
the committee feel that some regard
should be given them.
Their display was divided into three
sections, the central figure In each being
that Of young lady dressed in either
blue, gold or cardinal. Ribbon in fam
taSlc Shapes Is USED III PERCUSSION running
from the back of the windows, to the
spider web close to the pane.
The center figure is q representation of
| California, in yellow. with harp illustra-
tive of the carnival spirit. This display
will be continued for public inspection
until Monday night.
The benefit at the Columbia Theater on
Thursday afternoon promises to bring con-
siderable money to the carnival fund.
Each mem Der OF the executive committee
has determined to dispose OF not less than
fifty tickets. and some are hopeful of dis
posing of even more. This will be in adj
diticn to the premium for boxes and loges
at the auction sale TO be held at the Mer-
chants Exchange OH Tuesday att o'clock.
The entire proceeds of the benent will be
& iven to the carnival fund.
