The karnival krew on Friday af-
ternOOn and night was a grand sue
cess in every particular. The floats
were unique and funny, the cowboy
and Indian riders as wild and fierce
as the indOmitable Teddy; the ca
vorting clowns made fun for the
young folks, and the great sea mon
ster was so life like that it made one
to look at it, and then the
acting elephant cut many ridiculous
capers.
The riding and driving contests of
Friday and Saturday were very en-
pertaining features. Some splendid |
animals were exhibited and good |
riders and drivers admired. Then
the foot races and the splendid free
exhibitions were all good.

A LARGER DIVIDEND PROMISED
Holders of Capital Traction stock To
Receive EOur Per Cent

Receive Four Per Cent.
The statement is made semi-ofTlclally by
an officer and large stakeholder of the
Capital Traction Company that a dividend
at the rate Of per cent a year will be paid
by the company at the end Of the present
quarter. Il is said very positively that a
decision has been reached to increase the
dividend, and that there is now no further
doubt in the matter. This increase will
make the dividend 81 a share instead Of
70 cents a share. the recent rate.
1t has been the custom OF the company
for several years to pay out to the stock
holders approximately all the money earned
above the running expenses and CthPs
charges The rate two years ago was IS
cents, but as soon as per cent was earned
the payment was increased TO that amount.
II is said now that somewhat more than 4
per cent is being earned.
The increase in earnings in the month
Of January, over the same month last
year, was $1,000, and the increase so far
this month has been. about Sl3 OO0. Off
GERS of the company express the belief that
the increase viii be continued during the
year. One per cent dividend on the
$4,000, 900 capital stock of the company
requires 1920, 600. The surplus of the COM
pany last year after all charges. and the
3 per cent dividend was about sl10O00 so
that a comparatively small gain only his
year would provide the extra dividend
The stock Of the company has been ad-
vancing steadily during the past week. It
sold around 81 for several weeks, but IS
now in demand between 90 and "a. The
only sale made yesterday was at 80 rs.
One other cause for the advance in the
price Of the stock is the issue Of new bonds
TO be made on March /. The right to sub

for every 100 shares of stock held, and
