LORD MAYORS DAY
The Induction of Alderman Green
 Into His High Office.

London, Nov. 9.-The populace of the metropolis, which seems never to get enough of popular celebrations during the last few months, turned out in force this morning to take part in the celebration of Lord Mayors day. Al though crowds of unusual propor- tions massed along Fleet street, on the Victoria Embankment and elsewhere along the route of the parade, the demonstrations were for the most part entirely orderly and ;he Metropolitan police that lined the route had little to do beyon keeping the ;hrongs from breaking over the sidewalks into the roadway. The procession was exceed ingly specta3uil- aE1 contained number of wdrlille and 2atriotic fea- lures that pleased the crowds inl- mensely. The entire route was pro- fusely decorated with Venetian masts, flags, banners and a liberal display of bunting. The attachments of vOlun- teers were vociferously applauded. Other divisions included the city fire men. the foresters life-bOatmen, keep CTS of Ripping forest, the court of alder men. the members of the civic societies and a large number of representative citizens.

FIRE AT NOTRE DAME.

South Bend, Ind, Nov 9.-A fire which started about 3 o'clock this morn- ing in the gymnasium of the University of Notre Dame destroyed that struc- ture.

and Indian features be not overlooked and that three alternate days be de- voted to sports of that nature. "A wo- mans department is to be a feature and many novelties such as a baby carriage parade, baby show, etc, should be introduced.
 Financially, MT. Buckley says, it is unnecessary for a committee to go around and get a big subscription list to defray all expenses. He suggests that a guarantee fund of perhaps s3,0O0 be subscribed and that business men erecting booths deduct from their sub- scription the price of the space they occupy. This will cut down the outlay considerably and he is sure the balance in the treasury will pay all expenses should there be deficit. He believes a carnival and street fair can be run to practically pay its own way. It is a business proposition as well as an ad- vertisement.
 After his remarks Mir. Lewis accepted the director-g -generalshfp, with the un- derstanding that MT. Buckley and d good secretary would be employed to help him, as he will of necessity be ab- sent a couple of weeks between now and December TO-
 Jack Gibson was placed in charge of the cowboy sports. a place he proved capable of filling at the last carnival. Col. $. M. McCowan is chairman of the executive committee, and the other members are J. c. Adams. George H. N. Luhrs, Dave Goldberg, s. P. Clark and Gus H. Hirschfeld.
 MT. Buckley was not sure of his abil- ity to accept the offer of the associa- tion, as he is employed to direct the Fl Fl Paso fair January 21. However. he received a favorable answer from there last night and is now ready to go to work. As the time is short he proposes to do his utmost in advertising the carnival and hopes to find entrance to the columns of eastern magazines and illustrated papers that the work may be of a lasting benefit to the Sown.
 The executive committee will meet at 10 o'clock this morning and before night it is believed the guarantee fund will be subscribed, or at least a good part of it. The womans department will be organized early next week.
 J. w. Benfiam will leave for Los An geles in day or two and will present an invitation to the chamber of com merce. Printed matter and other ad- vertising will be gotten out at once.

ORGANIZATION WORK
Phoenix Cowboy and Indian Carnival
 and Street Fair.

The carnival will be a success. That much may be confidently said from the fact that it has been fully deter mined to have a carnival, the date is fixed and the organization partially ef- fected, and when Phoenix goes into such an enterprise she goes in to make it hummer. At Thursday nights meeting of the Carnival association it was decided to change the date from December 4 to December 10, which is the latest possible date without inter- ference with holiday trade and fsstivi- ties, and the Fl Pas9 carnival in Jan uary. The legislative business in Phoenix thereafter precludes the pos sfbility of success for such an enter prise in the carly months of next year.
 It was also decided to adopt the same name and probably the same col ors as at the preceding festival, and the executive committee was instructed to tender to R. Allyn Lewis the di- rector-generaIship of the carnival.
 Another meeting was held yest crday afternoon at the office of Mir Lewis, there being d very good attendance Mir. l.. w. Buckley. who has been pre- viously mentioned as q. professional promoter of such Cntsrp rprises, was present and upon request he outlined his ideas of what d successful carnival should be and how it should be han died to obtain the rest results. He be- lisved the street fair feature of the modern carnival should be made a leading feature and recounted his eX- perience with exhibitions of this kind on the coast, in all the larger cities from Sacramento to Rive rside. In some instances the carnivals or street fairs had been made self supporting and in one or two a profit was made, while in none of them was the deficit which had to be stood by the business men but a few hundred dollars, except in Sacramento, where indictment weather prevented large attendance. And even in Sacramento it was considered So much of a success that a large part of the space for the next festival has been already contracted for by the business men.
 In brief, Mr. Buckley's plan is for the carnival association. with the priv ilege of the city council to preempt say fifteen to twenty feet on each side of the street and sell the space at a dol lar per running foot, or less price if de- cided upon, to exhibitors, giving the business houses across the walk first choice of space. After they have made their contracts any remaining space may be sold to others. Here the booths may be erected and the dealer can make his sales and do his advertising right at his own door.
 He also proposes that some street or place adjacent to the business center be set apart for a midway. and he feels sure that many attla ctions can be se- cured, the concessions and percentages of which will prove a good source of revenue.
 A throne should also be erected for the coronation of carnival royalty and a big grand stand facing it and from which also parades and principal fea- lures can be st.en. This would be a source of revenue, while the public who preferred to witness all festivities free could do so by standing.
 It is also proposed that the cowboy
