 Manager Buckley is receiving appli- cations already fer concessions and To- cations on the great midway Of the street fair s. W. Shaffer, of San Francisco, is desirous of bringing a Japanese village and theater. He has
 about sixteen remarkable Japanese performers, including several Geisha girls This will be a very novel at traction, and will probably be accepted by the committee. Gypsy Madge, the queen of the American gypsies, and a character. well known throughout the United States, was en route from St. Joe to Denver. when Manager Buckley learned of the same through the Clip per, and wrote to her to have a gypsy camp during the carnival. He has received a favorable response and, with nothing to prevent, this will be one of the attractions of the fair. Both fea- lures have been with MT. Buckley at other exhibitions.
 The ladies committee will hold meet ings today at headquarters. All in- terested should try and be present at the hour requested by the chairman for their committees. The dates fer the carnival are December 10th to 18th. This should be borne in mind by all. Every man, woman and child in Phoe- nix should wear the coIors of the car nival-red, white and green-at all times.
