PLANS FOE THE CARNIY1I.

First Glass Free Entertainment Being Pre-
Interesting Features to be Prepared at
Various Stores.
The publishers of a dozen or more
suburban newspapers on opening their
mail yesterday found crisp check
from the Merchants carnival commit
tee rendered in payment for advertis-
ing space to exploit the carnival or
May 5.
These announcements will appear this
week and next in most of these papers.
1t is similar in character to the adver-
tisements of the merchants appearing
in New Haven papers.
The fact that only a small audience
greeted 1.-THE Good Mr.. Best 'on We'd
nesday night, the occasion of the Mer-
chants benefit, had but a slight effect
on Mr.. G. B. Bunnell's interest in the
business carnival, and good check
was forthcoming just the same. Mr.
Bunnell proved long ago to the New
Haven public that he is full of public
spirit.
Of course he regretted that the COM
Ddny WHICH So hllluly IeSpOuueu "
call to aid the carnival fund had to play
to so many empty seats, but this he
could not help.
He is now harder at work than ever
in connection with Chairman Goodman
of the entertainment committee arrang.
ing for the big matinee on May 5.
The matinee will begin at II O'CLOCK
and end at 2 on that day.
The merchants are growing more in
genious in preparing attractions for the
day. Besides those already announced
F. M. Brown & Co. will tender an en-.
tertainment not yet completed, bu
which will be free to everybody.
Some of the newspaper proprietors will
arrange, perhaps, to show the wonder
of the typesetting machines, and nearl!
all the stores will furnish interesting
! features outside Of their own business
The merchants committee was con
sidering the furnishing lunches free t.
all visitors, but as the new anti-fre
lunch bill is apt to become a law at an!
time, they have decided to abandon thi
feature.

HER CONDITION PREcARIoUs.

Miss Kate Mcnamara, an employe in
4be household of Frank W. Pardee, who
was the victim of g. terrible burning &C
cident at Mr.. Pardees residence at IL
Wooster street on Wednesday, was in
a nrecarious condition yesterday and
fears are entertained that her injuries
might prove fatal. She was terribly
burned, her dress catching fire from the
bursting out of a blaze from the mouth
of the furnace while she was starting
fire. and a large part of her clothing
being consumed. Her screams brought
help. and she was tenderly cared for
and removed to the home of her sister,
Mrs. Kane, on orchard street. Her
parents are in Madison.

SOUND BOAT LINES.

The reorganization of the sound boat
lines, which, it is expected, will in
volve the withdrawal of the Stonington
boats, seems likely now to be delayed
for several months owing to the litiga-
ton over the Providence and Stoning-
ton Steamboat company shares, which
the New Haven Railroad company has
been unable to secure. These shares
are somewhat less than 400 in number,
and the holders demand S175 a share,
while the New Haven company refuses
to pay more than $3.50.
