Railroads Make Low Rates.
Carnival plans assumed such shape at
the meeting of the board of directors yes
terday afternoon that detail work on the
organization Of clubs and in other direc
tions may go on without further hesitan-
cy. The plans that were submitted by
Architect Stem and adopted by the dl-
rectors call for an Ice palace greater In
every way than any that have been built.
The palace will be $50 feet long, built On
narrow lines, not more than sixty feet
in depth, but the greatest front eleva-
ton will be about 100 feet, and the great
length Of the facade will give plenty Of
opportunity for the fireworks displays
that will be arranged for the stormings
The style of architecture being In the
form of a great keep, or tower, with bit
tlemented crown, behind which the de-
tenders of the palace will have their van
tage ground. just below the top of the
walls and along the loopholes and win
dows, platforms will afford standing room
for the defenders and the attacks will BE-
| made along the whole front, giving u
chance for magnificent display of pyro-
technics.
Mr. Stem had but single day to work
on the plans, but had them so far COM
pleted that they were exhibited TO the
directors and adopted. Mr.. Stem thought
that if the work were rushed the palace
might be built in couple of weeks.
