For the Entertainment in the Hyperion
 on Merohants' Day.
 The publicity committee of the gen eral committee in charge of the ar engagements for the Merchants carnival of May ,, has made arrangements whereby 5000 tickets to the entertain ment to be given in the Hyperion on that day will be given out at the vari- rous stations from which special trains will be run to New Haven. These tick cts will be given to all who purchase tickets to New Haven from those sta tions on May 5. Some misapprehension in regard to these entertainment tick It was thought by some that these tickets were to be given to the various merchants who subscribed to the carni- val fund to give out as they saw fit but 1t was finally decided by the com mlttee in charge of the matter that it was better plan to have these enter tainment tickets given out at the sta- tions by the ticket agents there, to purchasers of railroad tickets to New Haven, as in this way all partiality and jealousy would be guarded against, The fact that the tickets will be given out by the station agents has been ad- vertlsed at the stations along the route of the special trains.
 Twenty-Five hundred railroad tickets will be given out absolutely free to la dies who desire to come to New Haven | to attend the carnival and to these free 1 tickets will be attached coupons entit- | ling the holder to admission to the en- | tertainment.
 A meeting of the general committee will be held Monday evening next at 9 o'clock for the purpose of making final arrangements for the decoration of the stores in the central part of the city on May and to arrange other details. | It has now been decided that there will be a parade by the city fire depart ment and it will probably be held at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The committee would like to secure a band 1 for the parade, but has not at present funds enought on hand to secure one. If subscriptions enough to pay for the band can be secured one will be obtain ed. Leader Fichtl of the Second regi- ment band has already kindly consent ed to play gratis at the entertainment in the Hyperion.
 It should be remembered by the peo- pie of New Haven that this carnival is to be held not only for out of town peo- pie, but also for the residents and to benefit the entire city In various ways | at once is obvious. It therefore be- hooves New Haveners to turn out on 1 that day and help contribute to the success of the occasion. They will be entitled to the special rates to be giv- en at the stores to the same degree as will those who come from outside the city, and the special entertainments to be provided at their places of business by the various merchants, who are in- terested in the carnival, will be well worth seeing.
 Among these special entertainments already arranged for is an aoelian con- cert to be given at the music store of the M. Steinert & Sons Co. At Malley Nicely &5 Co.'S there will be an inter- esting feature never before introduced in New Haven. It will be an exhibition of emporiums of all nations. There will be eight or ten booths, each one of which will be decorated with the colors of the nation which it represents. Each booth will be in charge of an attendant dressed in the national costume of the country represented and wares of the country will be for sale there. Other merchants are preparing to give inter- esting and entertaining features on the day of the carnival.
