whole carnival was that no one carried
fun as far as rowdyism. No arrests
were necessary. The tin horns had dis
appeared. The hideous snakes which
boys had poked into women's faces,
were ruled out The baubles disappeared
and confetti reigned supreme. It could
not hurt anybody and none were Offend
ed. The edict against the tin horn and
other monstrosities, included the rubber
ball, which did not appear. And so the
young folks went al each other with
handsful OF confetti
The sedate and the reserved were re-
spected and only If you were armed with
confetti were you subject to attack. II
you were supplied, however, you were
liable TO be swallowing confetti. breathing
confetti, picking confetti out OF your
ears, and combing It out Of your hair.
It was everywhere; the air was full OF it:
it spangled tresses and spotted hats and
glistened in boards.
The booths where il was on sale were
working TO their full capacity, and were
calling for help to satisfy this fun-bubb-
ling demand.
All during this conflict Of paper cir
cles. the crowd grew and grew and on
English street, where the opposing cur
rent met, It was for a time uncontrou-
able. The crowd. however. was soon NOV
ing regularly again.
The Midway was doing the business of
the season. Thousands poured into the
big circle and 0 nevery hand the attrac-
tons were playing to crowds which taxed
their capacity.
While it was only the second night OF
theh carnival it surpassed between
and 9 o'clock, the biggest crowd OF the
biggest day If last year.
Today is 70 be day of splendor, and
the night a night of nlagnifcence.
All guesses on attendance have been
declared off. The city is already enter
tanning thousands. When the specials
and increased regular trains begin to
arrive today. records in crowds will be
broken as far as Wichita is concerned.
Last evening the lights all over the
city were working perfectly.
Wichita Is interested in another record
that Of orderliness. The police, woh
are numerous. have had no trouble
There has been nothing rowdyism, so
far. People have kept their temper and
have had a good time No one has
shown roughness. The great crowd this
evening. then the confetti battle will be
resumed, should individually and collect
Ively keep the pace set.
