The Carnival is over. II is still being
discussed. and the comments depend
largely upon the point OF view. Some
OF the merchants who contributed lib
orally are disappointed. because the
crowds OF visitors did not measure up
to their expectations. Most people will
consider the Carnival, however. not in
the light OF an investment be-
cause the great mass OF people who
enjoyed the show did not contribute
one cent beyond what the fakirs en-
ticed from their pockets with their Sc
ductiye songs.
1t was solid week of enjoyment for
many, and hundreds OF people are sur
feited with pleasure. II was so last
night. for the crowds left the streets
comparatively early for Saturday
night.
With so many features each day the
anvil chorus did not get many opportu-
mites and the fact that an electric
fountain and daily balloon ascensions
were promised, appears to have been
forgotten. II is not known whether
any arrangements wore made for bal
loon asceneions. but the Carnival assoc
citation really closed contract for the
electric fountain. which would have
been very attractive Carnival feature
The association has notified the owner
of the fountain OF Its intention to bring
suit for nonfulnllment of contract
The owner of the fountain has In turn
brought suit against somebody else,
and promises TO reimburse the Carnival
association II he Is successful.
II the railroads had been more liberal
in the matter OF special rates, the at
tendance would have been larger, and
merchants would have secured CORE
spending degree OF beneit. Two-day
tickets without any material reduction
in rates. was not satisfactory to the
Carnival association.
OF course, mistakes have been made.
but Wheeling Will profit by experience
il another Carnival be given In the flu
ture. 1t was all new to Wheeling, and
now that the people know what Car
nival means, there will be a more
prompt and general response to invi-
tations to take part In parades and
other features.
AT the stroke of midnight the work
men had already started to tear down
some OF the buildings and stands. BY
tonight nearly all the shows will be
en- route to the next place of exhibit
ton. BY Monday night very little evil
dence Of the Carnival can be discovered
in the city.

CARNIVAL CLOSED IN A
BRIGHT BLAZE OF GLORY.

feature of the burlesoue parade was the
dozen human ostriches. This was a
stone & Thomas display, the ostriches
all being employees of that institution
The makeup was superb, and the an
tics OF the birds were funny beyond de-
scription.
Meister's band headed the Dramatic
Order knights of Korassan, better
known as the "Dokies," who turned out
in large numbers, in quaint costumes
and executed a serpentine drill going
down Market street. They carried
lighted candles, and some carried UNI
orellas. Some of the individual CO.'S
tunes were strikingly unique.
''Dokies" in carriages brought up the
rear end OF this display, and Their came
another band.
A decidedly amusing buriesqua fca-
ture was "Finnies Band" A score of
men and boys in all sorts of DISCUSSES
carrying all sorts OF instruments. made
all sorts Of noises. 1t was very funny
and the burlesque band came in for a
great deal OF applause from the side
walks.
After the band came the Ancient Ad-
hesiye Order of Mogulllans, wearing
costumes very similar to those of the
"Dokies." They also executed fantastic
drills. and had some original make
ups" Their display was very credit
able.
In the line of carriages bringing uo
the rear of the parade was one labelled
Aetnayille. which attraeted a great deal
of attention.
The burlesquo parade moved across
the creek as far south as Tsenty-third
street
Howard Shafer impersonated the Jes-
ter to King Bernard the First, OF the
House of Wingerter.
The burlesque of the floral parade
was very funny. Fred Cowl. in white
costume, impersonated the marshal OF
the parade, and George Welty rode in
the carriage with the flower queen,
Albert Theirs. whose makeup was
frightfully good and true TO life.
The committee awarded the first
prize to Stone & Thomas ostrich farm,
and the individual prize to George Phil
lips, who impersenated Uncle Sam.

He states that he did 50 believing it to

Pity Ills a photograph could not have
| been taken of Market street, between
| Twelfth and Fourteenth, at $3.50 last
night.
The crowd at the races were extremely
| small, but the events made up for 1t In
| closeness of contests and exciting
| brushes.
Wheeling people would be more than
pleased to see such attractions at j..
B. Morris statue turning to life, at the
coming State Fair.
The Rex parade floats will be shipped
this week to Richmond, Va, where
they will be stored until the Carnival
Is given In that city.
You were as much surprised as the
other fellow, no doubt, when you met
face to face at the private hoochee-
koochee exhibition.
Some OF the boys lost their hearts
to the girls in the Twelfth street shows,
and they were recipients OF much atten-
tion during the week.
If there is any noise-producing de-
vice in existence that was not used in
the streets last night, an anxious public
would like to know Of 1t.
The Carnival Associations "r1ke-
off" from the shows ought to go q. con-
siderable distance toward paying the
expenses of tho Carnival.
The regulars were on duty In the
business district last night, and the
extra policemen were nearly all assign
ed to duty in the outlying districts.
Director Benson and his estimable
wife go from wheeling to their home
where Mr. Benson has business inter-
ests, which he has neglected during the
Carnival.
The races at the Fair Grounds and
the ball game on the Island were the
drawing attractions yesterday after
noon. There was big attendance at
each place.
The temporary policemen walked
sadly into headquarters at IL o'clock
last night. surrendered their batons
and badges, then homeward took their
way as plain citizens.
Any old thing to MAKE noise. A
well-dressed man, accompanied by a
lady, went down Market street at IL
O'Clock trailing battered two-gallon
tin can after him by string.
"The Statue Turning to Life" was
conducted In clean manner, the man
agement carefully looking after the
comfort of guests. 1t was the most
meritorious show in the city during the
week.
Frank Hatch put in solid week OF
regrets. His Gay Paris show was wed
down to the Wheeling standard, and
there wasn't much Of it left, the result
being that Frank Is not much ricner
than when he came.
The vaudeville show on Market street
near Tenth, has been closely watched
by the police. 1t has frequently been
necessary to place sharp restraint upon
it-eyen to threaten to close 1t uown.
There Is limit to even Carnival week.

Yesterday afternoon on the track at

The 2;24 Pacing Race.
In this race the field consisted of
six horses-Lady Wonder. John Tay-

and held it, although hard pushed in
several instances.
First heat-The horses got away In
excellent order, but Senator Vance
pushed into the lead, closely followed
by Lady Wonder, but this latter horse
was pushed too hard and broke at the
first quarter and was passed by the
field. Senator Vance maintained the
lead and in the third quarter Lady
Wonder pulled up past Clitey NJ, who
broke and was distanced. Molly g..
pushed Senator Vance hard on the
stretch. but was unable to pass him.
Time, 2:23A.
Second heat-As in the previous heat,
Senator Vance took the lead, followed
by Molly G. At the quarter Lady
Wonder broke and fell to the rear. At
the third quarter Molly G. pulled up
on Senator Vance, but fell back and
was passed in the stretch by John Tay-
lor. who finished a close second. Time,
2.21A.
Third heat-This early developed into
a race between Molly G. and Senator
Vance. as the remainder of the field
was distanced. The Senator held
ahead of Molly G. until the third quar-
ter when the latter horse broke and
fell back. John Taylor made squirt
and came in second. Time, 2:21A.
