Minnie. the Australian bush girl, CON
tinued 10 draw big crowds YESTERDAY:
This is one of the most interesting OF
all the special Carnival shows.
Some of the fakirs will have to make
motions this morning when they come
to order breakfast. They were a pref
ty husky lot, late last night.
last nights crowds demonstrated the
fact that Wheeling needs wider streets
| and sidewalks in the central portion Of
the city. The ~thoroughfares were very
much congested between seven and
e~leve-S Clock.
The costumed escort TO the King was
all right. As they saluted with their
swords, on Market street, in front OF
| the Register office, the spectacle was a
pretty one.
The small boy was very much in evil
dence. as usual, and went home to sup
per loaded down with yard sticks, to-
baeeo, green chocolate, and a lot OF
other things.
The ladies of the Second Christian
church are serving lemonade and light
! refreshments from a handsomely dec
GRATED stand on Main street, adjoining
Dittmar's millinery store.
ladies, don't lose your temper If
some unknown person showers halt d
pint of paper scraps over you, and some
of them behind your collar. Inc way
to get even is to dose somebody else.
The ladies of the w. c. I. U. placed a
barrel of ice water on the sidewalk IN
front of their headquarters on Market
street, with a number OF tin cups at
taehed. 1t was literally %patronized dur
ing the day.
c. II. Goethe, the druggist at the cor
ner OF Twelfth and Market streets, has
his store very tastefully decorated Tor
the Carnival, with a charming comoina-
ton of palms, flowers, hanging baskets
and ported plants.
One of the Carnival features of the
opening day was the solo, old Ken
lucky Home" played by Mayors band
from the stand erected on the corne@ OF
Market and Eleventh streets, which was
received by loud and continuous cheers.
The Wheeling & Elm Grove Railway
will give a fifteen minutes service
throughout Carnival week. Cars will
run as late as midnight each day. The
cars must be taken at Chapline street,
on account of Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets being occupied by the shows.
Those who indulge in the confetti
habit during the remainder of Carnival
week, should be careful not to throw
it in the faces of people, as there IS
danger of it entering the eyes and
causing serious injury. A number OF
persons suffered a great deal of pain
from this cause last evening.
Yesterday afternoon at 2:15 O'Clock,
as the parade was passing the Register
Office, the wagon representing the HUB
stopped. A Wheeling bakery wagon
followed it closely, and before the driver
of this wagon could stop his team the
shaft had crashed through the plate
glass door of the Hub wagon.
Yesterday afternoon Mrs. O'Neil, re-
siding in the Sixth ward, notified the
police that her six-year-old boy had
followed the parade up town and gotten
lost. They kept a strict lookout for
the boy. and late last evening. as they
had not received any other notification
they presumed he had returned acme.
What a Carnival day it was yesterday.
/ How rapidly the crowd multiplied itself
until in the evening under the cleo
trio lights there was scarce room to
pass. No rush, no hurry; just a con
t~inuous promenade of happy. merry,
laughing people seeking for amusement
and finding it galore. ReX's commands
to his subjects are certainly well OBJ
served.
A correspondent from Littleton writes
to the Register to ask why excursion
tickets for the Wheeling Carnival are
not sold at that point. He states that
full fare tickets are all that can be Sc
cured. The b. & O. authorities should
look after this matter, as it is under
stood that one fare round trip tickets
would be sold from that and other sta
tons along the main line of the b. & O..
Last evening about half-past seven
o'clock a local foot ball player playfully
threw a lot of confetti over a lady who
| stands about six feet tall and weighs
225. The lady stopped, grabbed mister
man by his long hair. and proceeded 10
thump him in genuine pugiliatic style,
bringing the blood before she was
through with him. The crowd on the
street formed a ring and enjoyed the
one-sided encounter immensely.
One of the finest displays presented in
the industrial parade yesterday was that
of the Speidel Grocery Company. 1t con-
sisted of a large platform, ship-shape,
about eighteen feet high, on which was
exhibited Cerreseota -four in pyramid
shape. The base was full 14x20 feet,
and very artistically arranged, the base
starting with the Jute Baker size bags.
Above this was a row of as fine large
leaves of bread as the housewife could
possibly desire. The top was graced
by a number of barrels of -four, and at
each end two mammoth shocks of wheat
gave it an artistic and graceful finish.
This was drawn by ten horses. They are
distributing to the trade a handsome
souvenir spoon.
