THE CARNIVAL.
THE PROSPECTS ARE BRIGHT FOR
 A STUNNING SUCCESS.
A Parisian Will Have Charge of the Pre- paration of the Floats-There Will
 Be Reduced Rates.

The members of the Birmingham Car nival society are in high spirits over the prospects of a magnificent success for their coming festivities. Every indica- ton now points to one of the greatest events in the history of North Alabama, and it is evident that the Magic City will shine fully as brightly as the Crescent and Gulf cities during the festivities inci- dent to Mardi Gras week.
 The joint executive board and commit tee on designs, at their meeting Tuesday afternoon, did a great deal of effective work, and it was resolved to keep up the enthusiasm until the success of the see- ond grand annual celebration of the Car nival society will have been consum-
 mated.
 The committee on railroad rates made a full report, stating that all the roads con- tingent to and entering the city had been communicated with and assurances had
 been received that the Magic City would
 be given all the privileges accorded Mo-
 bile, Memphis, New Orleans and other cities. The report was received midst great applause and this was one step to- ward the success of the undertaking.
 The next, but by far most important,
 matter disposed of was the awarding of the contract for floats for the two grand night parades. M Ferdinand De La Motte of Paris France, was the fortunate person. To him was allotted the task of preparing the thirty-six floats, eighteen of which will appear in each nights pa rade. M. De La Motte is a Parisian and an able artist and it is safe to predict that with his knowledge, experience and ability he will turn out the very finest work. The gentleman now claims Bir- mngham as his home, and says the greatness of the Magic City shall not be diminished by the parade of 1897
 During the coming month a public meeting of the Carnival society will be called and an opportunity offered all in- terested in the welfare of Birmingham to see an outline of what the society pro- poses presenting to the public on the oc- casion of the second annual parade.
