"A visit to the carnival den near
Hartig's brewery is convincing proof
to even the most skeptical that dazz-
ling splendour and brilliant beauty
will characterize the grand historical
and allegorical pageant announced as
the closing feature Of the September
carnival. The floats thus far COM
pleted are emphatically the creations
of artful hands and it is evident that
the best ideas have conspired in the
building of these handsome representa-
tions. When set off in the night time
by myriads of eolored lights and wend
ing their way through a mass of pyro-
technics and red, green and yellow
fire, the effect is sure to be wonderful
to the eye Of the beholder and a sight
not soon to be forgotten. No one
should miss this grand pageant on the
night of September Is.
