Music was furnished by the famous Oliver
family. The procession marched through
the principal street Of the old town lead
ing directly to the new town, where the
cncampmcnt was located. This brilliant
part of the program was ended wlthouta
mishar. Then the doors of the attractive
shows were opened, and the rush was ON
for two days and nights. The Educated
Horse, the Oliver show, and the Electrical
Theatre were the most. popular places,
although the Wild West show, Paris En-
position and the many others were always
crowded All reaped Il fine profit, and
were ever complimenting the people ON
the very fine behavior which character
lied the occasion from start to finish. The
people came to get the amusement and to
make the social phase memorable one.
The exhibits were not rs numerous as
they might have been. A hall in which
to store valuable exhibits could not be
procured, therefore many attractive and
interesting things We're withheld.
If you will pardon the depression,
will say that town hall is badly needed
here, and the business men propose to
conduct the rext municipal campaign
with this one issue in view, that its future
welfare and general public interest may
be more generously guarded. This hall
ought to he completed before another
Carnival is held here.
1t is the opinion of your correspondent
that a great mistake was made in the
method of awarding premiums The pre-
miums were given mostly for largest va
ricty of exhibits by any one person. In
this instance quantity outclaSsed quality.
Among the various articles and products
exhibited by the community were corn,
rice, potatoes, garden products, canned
fruits, preserves, pickles, domestic wine,
fancy work, paintings, war relics, curios
of many kinds, brick and machinery. The
S. A. l.. Company had on exhibition
various kind of seed, timber, sea shells,
bird eggs, colonial and war relics, along
with variety of curios.
The Denmark High school had on cX-
hibition excellent work i'll geometry and
drawing, paintings, and several series OF
