! President y. H. Meyer. Vice-President
John S. Harwood. Major ]. D. Patton,
| Mr.. Morgan II. Mills and DR.. Henry G.
Jones were sitting in the office of the
president last night.
| President Meyer said he thought it quite
unbecomng in those who had done
| thing toward making the success of the
| Carnival to criticise the show and tho
work OF such d body of public-spirited
citizens after it had turned out so sue
cessfully.
"Those people gave neither time.
money nor their good will he said, "aHd
! ii seems TO me that it is not up to them
to say anything. The chances are there,
will be no Carnival next year 50 far as
the men are concerned who worked hard
to get 1t up this year. and I don't believe
any other body OF men IN town will take
UP their time as they did.
Vce-President John S. Harwood said
he had been informed by jobbers in vari-
Gus lines of business. including dry goods.
J notions. shoes, clothing and groceries.
that they had been visited by more coun-
| try merchants this week than for many
months, and that their regular business
had been increased for the week in some
cases to more than 100 per cent.
| DR.. Henry c. Jones. chairman of the
| Parades COMMITTEES. said the Carnival not
| only did the business of the city good.
! but that it gave the people the oppoctu-
nifty of enjoying themselves a a cost not
beyond their means. The week has been
| a profitable one all around. and that the
| people are entertained and that the Car
! nival is a success is shown from the
large number who came here while the
! Carnival is in progress.
| Major Patton. chairman of the Finance
| Committee. said there was no doubt about
| the Carnival having been a success. and
| he thought the people wanted such things
! every year or so as a sort of relaxation
from their regular duties. There could
be no doubt that the city received much
! benefit from the Carnival.
/ Mr.. Mills. of the Privileges Committee.
| said he had worked many hours a day all
| week, and felt like a hard-worked black
! smith at the close of a summers day
+, His committee did not ex9ect as much
| this year as last. but he thought good
| sum would be turned in I can but feel
that the business people of the city will
| profit by this Carnival he said.
Busy at T. P A. Booth.
The T P. y. booth at Sixth and Broad
| Streets, where confetti was disposed of.
/ was the busiest point along Broad Street
| last night as the minutes rapidly flew
| toward midnight and the hour of the
! closing of the Carnival drew near.
| The air was filed with the light con-
| fetti, and many heads and shoulders bore
| the signs of confetti conflicts.
! There was little disorder. and good
| humor prevailed. The bands that were
| still in the city gave their concerts and
| large gatherings enjoyed them. while the
| faker and the show man reaped the re-
| ward coming to them for their activity
| in attracting the attention of the people
and inducing them to enter the portals
| of the gilded fronts. to enjoy themselves
| in getting lost in the Crystal Mage or
