Mr.. s. P. Norton stated that the COM
mittee had gone over the matter very
thoroughly, and was convinced that
with the proper effort the carnival
could be made the biggest thing OF the
kind in the history of Wheeling.
Mr.. Robert Hazlett. another member
of the executive committee, and Mr..
Jacob Snyder also spoke briefly, both
in a commendatory way. Mr.. George
Hook predicted the carnival VIII De
big success. He said it would depend
largely upon the good wishes and
ly. He also referred to the methods
employed in bringing crowds annually
to the West Virginia State Fair. lie
placed great stress upon the fact that
the carnival will be great advertise
ment to the clty, and will be both d.
rect and an indirect benefit to the ner
chants of the city.
President Laughlin suggested that
everybody should make the carnival
personal matter, and should postpone
summer trips IN order to be present and
to assist in the carnival.
Mr.. w. z. Stone was called upon, and
said he would do all in his power to
make the affair success. He had
thought that it would do more good in
October, but he was satisfied to yield to
the wishes of the majority.
Mr.. John Cummins said he was not
a speech maker, but was in training at
the City Building and hoped in time
to become a speech-maker. He thought
the carnival would be big success, and
was willing to do his share to make 1t
a success.
Mr.. Jas. B. Mckee said he received
a letter from his brother in Richmond,
Va, telling about the carnival in that
city, and stating that he had never
seen such crowds in Richmond. He told
about plate glass windows being
broken Mr.. Benson said proper pre-
cautions would prevent accidents.
Messrs. Walter H. Rinehart, H. w.
Mcclure, jain Waterhouse, E. ]. A.
Drennen and others spoke in an encour-
aging vein.
Secretary Thompson called attention
| to the efforts to advertise Wheeling. 1t
was his observation that for advertis-
! ing in towns tributary to a center, no
wiser plan could be selected than the
proposed carnival. Even if the visitors
do not spend much money with the re-
tailers and jobbers, results will come
| Indirectly. AS an Incident illustrating
the point he desired to make, he spoke
of meeting of grocers in GAINESVILLE
at which Wheeling was largely repre-
sented. They We're go Hospitality en-
| tertained that a Wheeling grocer told
him that a salesman from GAINESVILLE
would have to present q mighty rocky
| proposition" if he could not get a hear
| ing. He said the visitors woulu be
| sent away with warm feeling for
] Wheeling, which would bring satisfac-
tory returns in the future
! In adjeurning the meeting, Presiden,
Laughlin urged all members to lend a
hand u make the carnival ''hewling
