Der Of people since the opening of it.
! There was q continual pageant o
men, women and children of all walks
of life in holiday attire on all streets
going to the Carnival from noon until
late in the afternoon.
! The mass of humanity that came to
the Carnival after seeing the parade
literally filled the grounds, and the
same can be said of the size of the
audience at night. All of the num-
erous shows are being generally pat
ronized. At the German Village
standing room was at premium.
There is such a clever long vaudeville
performance given in the Village that
irrespective of the fascinating sur
roundings ii holds the audiences en-
| thusiastic attention to the end of the
program.
Darling's Pony and Dog show is al
so playing to good business. The
attractions of the Carnival are all
worth more than the nominal price
| of admission that is charged. TIE
Carnival presents many unique and in
teresting novelties, which have been
| several times mentioned in the fore
part of this week The competti
which is being sold ON the grounds is
the means of creating considerable
laughter and good natured fun.
This Elks Carnival from all ac-
counts will go into the annals OF
Calnivals as one of the best that has
ever been gotten up The behavior
of the thousands who nave so far at
tended has been admirable, and there
| is no likelihood of disturbance as
everybody after they get to the Carn-
| iyal is in an amicabe disposition and
cheerfully enters into the amusement
that is offered, and besides there is
an adequate number of police who
are at all times patrolling the grounds.
The Carnival, by order of the execu-
tive committee, has been extended for
Monday and Tuesday afternoon and
night, September 22rd and oath
This afternoon is more than like
ly that there will be many children go
to tho Carnival. a,osa
The EiIss' Parade started on sched-
ule time at one O'clock yesterday from
the Elks' Home on Front street and
went over the line OF march, on which
were multitudes of Marietta citizens
and visitors, who admired it.
The citizens are to be complimented
for their liberality and the lavishly gay
decorating that they have done in hon
or the Elks' Reunion and Carnival
The parade was not as large as was
expected, but there is no need of Of
fering any eXclsG as we ell know of
the sad and unfortunate Circumstance
es that transpired during the past
two weeks that undoubtedly had the
effect of lesseuing the attendance of
lIlks from other cities.
When the parade and the large fol-
lowing crowd arrived at the Carnival
they came very near filling the
grounds. If the visiting Elks who
are here to attend the Reunion and
Carnival Go not have IA good time it
Will not be the fault of the reception
committee, which is the entire Mar
ietta Lodge No. AT B. p. D. Il,
