see to it that the gates of the city are
thrown wide open and that all due
freedom shall prevail. We want to
make the carnival a crOwning event,
so that the future affairs of like
nature may attract even greater num-

be a single idle hour in the entire
three days ard that the visitor in
quest OF wholesome enjoyment will be
supplied to his fullest capacity. BIZ
cycle races for Wednesday are being
arranged. and there will be a first
class ball game each day. There will
also be numerous individual shows
and performances along the streets,
aud the city will present the gayest
holiday aspect.
As for decoration and illumination
nothing will be wanting. An inpos-
ing plan has been provided by the
proper committee and citizens general
ly have adopted it The effect will be
very pretty and attra ctive.
The flower parade, to Judge from
the carriages being made ready for it,
will be one of the prettiest ever seen
in this state. The labor expended in
preparing this event has been enor-
nous, and the women of the city have
shown commendable, enterprise. The
historical pageant, too. will be a big
surprise and a decided feast for thL
eyes. The floats are truly wonder
full creations and the individuals who
