READY FOR THE CARNIVAL.
OLD GLORY ENTERTAINMENT
TO BEGIN AT NOON.
"A Multiplicity Of Attractions Will
be offered at the Various
Booths and Shows.


The north wind yesterday morning
gave a very discouraging OUTLOOK Tor
the Old Glory Carnival to-day, some
of the work that had been done on the
booths having been undone during the
night by the wind, and the ladies' OF
the society stood aghast at the prospect
that confronted them ON their arrival.
However, Sacramento women are not
easily discouraged, and Red Cross wo-
men in particular, and they Went 10
work with a vim to repair the ravages
of old Boreas, and vowed that II Bar
wick did not control him better on such
occasions there would be trouble in
camp The continuance of the wind
still hampered them in their work, but
all notion of postponing the event was
secuted and damages were repaired as
quickly as pissible, and the public will
see that will and energy can overcome
much greater obstacles.
Great preparations have been made
to make a most attractive spectacle for
the delectation of those who attend the
carnival and the appearance Of the
grounds yesterday indicated that they
would be successful. Every one was
on the finishing touches where the work
had advanced far enough, and visitors
to the carnival will find a great varie-
ty of attractions offered for them to Sc
lect from.
AS one enters the grounds he is first
confronted with the ice cream tent and
the lemonade booth, probably placed
there so that he can, after patronizing
them, be able to take a cool survey Of
the other attractions. A fine canvas
has been erected, while around it are
grouped ice cream tables, shaded by
Japanese umbrellas. At night the
scene will be lit up by lanterns sus-
pended from bamboo poles, giving a
very pretty effect.
The lemonade stand is on the left,
and will be presided over by Mrs. Cop
persmith and Mrs. J. H. Moore, as
sisted by Misses Lizzie Halloran, Agnes
Ryan, Rose Kent, Agnes Burns, Mar
garet Burns, Dora Burns. Charlotte
Broms, Edna Coppersmith, Nellie
Mackey, Lila Brown, Jennie Lawson,
Mrs. John Cody. Those who are thirsty
need not be afraid of burns, as the
lemonade will be ice cold.
A little further on is Moro Castle,
now taken possession of by the Ameri-
cans, with its frowning guns and tower
no more to be feared when surmounted
by the Stars and Stripes.
The platform where the MayDole
dance will take place stands near the
monument of grim visaged war with
the pedestal on which Columbia will
stand, waving her flag over the merry
dancers as they wind and unwind the
red, white and blue ribbons. The pole
Will be surmounted with a red cross in
flowers
There will be music in nearly all the
booths, and band concerts will also be
given at intervals
The colonial kitchen Will be an at
tractive booth, attended by ladies in
colonial costumes, and containing old
furniture. The ladies will sell linens

cts for packing away clothes by young
ladies dressed in lavender colored cos

red, white and blue, a Goddess of Lib
erty doll Will be on exhibition and a
