COMING TRADE CARNIVAL
RETAIL MERCHANTS' ASSOCIATION
LISTENS TO REPORTS.

scribed-General Trade Committee APP
pointed-Large List of Merchants Who
Have Contributed.
Further arrangements were yester-
day afternoon perfected at the meeting
of the Retail Merchants association
toward ensuring the success of the pro-
posed trade carnival, to be observed
May 8, 4 and 5. The reports of the So
Letting committees evidence the gener-
Gus support which the project has re-
ceived from local dealers, and that the
carnival will prove an unprecedented
success is assured beyond doubt.
The reports submitted yesterday show
that so far about 81, 200 of the $1,000 nee
essary for expenses have been sub
scribed, and as only small part or the
city has been canvassed there is no
doubt of the speedy forthcoming of the
balance.
At yesterdays meeting there was
good attendance, and those present en-
tered heartily into the work assigned
them. E...
and Secretary Johnson occupied his ac-
customed chair After the usual pre-
liminaries Mr.. Johnson started the
business by moving that the general
committee of twenty-one authorized by
the previous meeting be made up OF
one from each trade.
Harry Leigh thought that the men,
bers of the committee should be select
ed for their ability, irrespective of their
business pursuits.
Mr.. johnson favored some kind of en-
tertainment each day and evening.
Samuel Goodman was of the opinion
that when the committee is named 1t
should be divided into three sub-com-
mittees of seven-One on advertising,
one on railroads and one on inforna-
ton.
Harry Leigh advocated only two sub
committees-one on railroads and one
on advertising that they be ap-
pointed by the chairman of the general
committee.
John D. Jackson counseled haste in
the matter, as the time was growing
short He advised getting the best
men for the committee, men who would
throw off their coats and go to work
The motion to raise general COM
mittee of twenty-one was then passed,
and at the suggestion of Colonel Post
committee of three, consisting of Messrs.
Kirby, DeBussey and Hum, was ap
pointed to select the general committee.
1t was the sense of the meeting that
