Picked Club Teams.
The Karnival and Aurora park scored
another hit yesterday by putting up a
programme of unquestionable excel
lence, the reward being a big crowd
of patrons during the entire day. In
point of variety the programme prob
ably eXcelled all previous ones, and
each particular feature was admirable.
The curling, the skating races, the
skating exhibitions, the fireworks, the
parades, the Indians and the polo games
comprised an array of sport that could
not fail to please any carniVaIier, no
matter how eXacting.
1t was a children's day in many
features. The fireworks in the evening
were designed particularly for them,
and they showed their appreciation of
the provision of the carnival manage
ment by a large attendance and en-
thusiastic cheering. Through the cour-
teSy of the Paine Fireworks company,
Maj. Pardee gave an exhibition free
of charge last night, to which all the
children of the orphan asylums Of the
Twin Cities were admitted free. Ele-
plants, camels, lions, performing mon
key and number of other animals
were represented in fire; a sight both
unique and beautiful. And, besides
these, skyrockets, Roman candles and
countless list Of other devices for
making an attractive display were
utilized for the enjoyment of the
little ones. After the admira-
BILE exhibition Of fireworks the
Indians took possession of the plat
form and made things lively for nearly
an hour with their ghost dance. After
this interesting part Of the programme
they repaired to the block house and
gave another exhibition of their &C
complshments. White Eagle, Blanket
Carrier and Eagle Feather, little fell
lows not more than six or eight years
of age, gave some interesting dances in
manner to arouse the admira ton of
every one, particularly the small boys
in the crowd. While all this was going
on, the events of Aurora park were in
progress, prominent among which were
the boys and girls races.
Today's programme offers a number
OF good attractions. The championship
races of the National Amateur Skating
association will be of unusual interest

these the polo games and the curling

Every carnival club should have it's
captain or some other representative
present at carnival headquarters to-
morrow at 1890 to receive instructions
for the grand windup on Thursday
evening. The time and place of giving
out ammunition is also to be fixed at
this meeting, and it is decidedly i'm
portant that every club be represented.
beautiful and attractive feature Of
the parade on Thursday evening will
be a division made up entirely of the
uniformed lady members of carnival
clubs. Maj. Price, chairman of the
committee on parades, decided on this
new feature yesterday, and he expects
that all of the clubs will CALAMITY and
courteously concede a place of honor
to the ladies.

club day at Fort Karnival, and in the

prizes which will be offered to the win

ed, etc. He promises day of Sioux
work the like of which was never seen
