Meetings Scheduled for Tonight
w. F. Myron's Effort.
Carnival meetings will be held in
several places in st. Paul tonight. and
action will be taken which will result
In materially increasing the number of
uniformed people who will have place
IN the parade which will open the earn
wal on the evening of Tuesday, Jan.
Il. AT headquarters there will be a
meeting of all persons who desire to
join a carnival veterans club. Any one
VINO belonged to club in previous
carnivals is eligible to membership, and
| the movers in the proposed club hope
that there will be large attendance
tonight. Those who desire to secure
new uniforms can do so very cheaply
il they will order at once
AT Frylingers hall, corner University
and harrington ayenues, the Eighth
Ward Carnival club will decide on it's
uniform and proceed to have them
made, in order to take part in the
opening parade. The citizens of the
ward are beginning to realize that it is
a big feather in their cap to have Fort
karnival and all the other attractions
located in their midst; and they are
going to turn out a large club The
meeting tonight will be called to order
at o'clock sharp.
The members Of the Militia Carnival
club will meet at 8 o'clock tonight, at
the armory, to take action on a pro-
| posed uniform which will be much
cheaper than the one first decided on.
1t has been found that not all of the
boys are in position to invest any
great amount in a carnival uniform
ana yet when it is remembered that
uniformed men will be admitted free to
the grounds, the cost of a uniform is
almost wholly paid in this way, for
there are but few people who will not
Visit the grounds several times during
the carnival season, especially since the
use Of the slides and toboggans has
been made free to all.
| The parade of the Schunernan E.
Evans club will start from the store
at 7:45, and will extend over the princi-
pal streets, winding up at carnival
headquarters where the members will
be received and addressed by Lord
Hish chancellor Van SAINT, and a COM
m1ttee of the directors The veterans Of
other carnivals will also be present to
receive the new club, and a Jolly ses-
sion Is assured. A piano will be placed
In headquarters today, through the
kindness Of r. G. Munger, and music
and songs will add to the pleasure off
the occasion. All uniformed people are
invited to greet the marchers when
they reach headquarters
the Clio b e presents to it's readers
this morning a poem entitled "Tbe
Bonsp1el,' by the local Scotch bard. w.
