IT EXCELLED ANTICIPATION.
OLD GLORYCARNIvALA GRAND
SUCCESS.
It Melted Fully $1,7OO for the Red
Gross Fund-The Women
Did It.

nival of last week, given for the benefit
of the Red Cross fund, are practically
all in. Some tickets remain to be
heard from, but a close estimate can
be made of the receipts. The result is
most gratifying, not alone to the patri-
otic public of Sacramento, but also to
the generous, warm hearted and cour-
ageOuS women who planned and carried
out its many and charming features.
1t is now known that the receipts Of
the carnival will foot up, in round fig
ures, about 81, 1OO, a sum that is suffi-
cient to accomplish untold things for
the brave men who are battling, or
hope to battle. for the maintenance of
the cOuntry'S glory and honor.
This fact was announced at a meet
ing of the Red Cross Society held last
evening for the purpose of hearing re-
ports from those who were in charge
of the carnival
The general public can scarcely re-
alize how hard the good ladies labored
to make the carnival a success, nor
the many obstacles they had to over
come. Only few hours before the
opening of the carnival they saw the
results of days of labor in decorating
the booths destroyed or displaced by
high wind, and nearly all the work
had to be performed again in short
space of time. But the ladies' never
qualled. Some may have shed few
tears in their disappointment, but all
set about righting things again, and
when the carnival opened their hearts
We're as cheerful and their hands as
willing as ever.
Mrs. r. I. Bentley and Mrs Horace
Ball, who had general charge of the
affair, are warm in their praises Of the
quiet. harmonious eXertions Of their
companions who were interested in the
various booths. Many Of the ladies
completely sold out the contents of
their booths before evening, and if such
liberal support by the public had been
anticipated all could have greatly in
creased their receipts
And 1t is worthy of remark that
though some 200 women were engaged
in the work of preparing for and con-
Quoting the carnival, not a hitch nor
unpleasant incident occurred from its
inception to it's close. All labored for
the success of the affair, and in the
most harmonious manner possible. The
same number, or half the number of
men could not have done nearly so
well.
