Last weeks meeting of the carnival
officers was an important one, several
matters OF interest being settled. 1t
was decided, after a lengthy discus
sion, to give the affair the title of the
''Watertown Harvest Jubilee and
Carnival" The national colors were
adopted as the official colors and an
outline was made of the program for
the event. George P. Traeumer was
given charge of the committees ap-
pointed for arrangements and the
ladies of the floral committee were
given the privilege of enlarging their
committee as they saw fit. The fol-
lowing committees were named:

The electric fountain will be one
of the main features of the carnival.
1t will be stationed under an arch on
Main street bridge and will perhaps
be constructed SO as to be permanent.
The carnival officers and a large
representation of the women of the
city interested in the floral parade
held a meeting at Concordia Opera
house yesterday afternoon. The ladies
exhibited great enthusiasm over this
feature of the carnival and there is
every prospect that it will be de-
cided success. Already some twenty
turnouts are promised for the parade.
