question, Mr.. Q. H. Funsten said that
he did not agree with Mr.. Bostock's S rep
resentative in saying that Richmond

get the views of all the Executive Com

ing of the carnival. SO that the matter
might be fully ventilated and finally set

desire Of the committee to change the
date it should be done. at once. MI.

tee that he thought these carniyais a
fad Of the day, and that the sooner it
was held the better. He said that the
Hagenback combination was the proper
one to engage, as it was the best Of its

the best. In regard to the time, he
thought spring the best season. as at
that time the amusements have not
travelled over the country, and their
scenery is in better condition.

was in favor Of the spring, and gave
