II HE carnival ended in a blaze Of
glory and a glimEIei of hades.
That was last night. Salt Lake
will be seeing purple for a generation.
but the building will go mp. nearly
everybody in town having contributed a
bricK or two. and eventually the state
NAL recover.
y careful estimate shows that the
I1lks lodge VIII clear up about $4,000
on the carnival. This is fully up 10 the
expectations of the executive commit
tee. even though the belief is strong
that 81 a greater risk had been run the
sum would have been much larger. For
instance. the German village liquor
privilege was sold for 81 800 and che
receipts were about $500. but tie on
pense was small and the beer cost only
half OF its sale price. II was a gold
mine for the concessiOnaire. and every
body admits IL. The midway. too. took
in something over 81, 500 and the com
mittee. had Il dared. might have had
oil over $4,000 the sum for which Jar
Dour agreed TO come on q guarantee,
instead OF so per cent OF the gross re-
ceipts.
The success or the carnival is con-
ceded. II is the only show of its kind
that has been a paying venture in this
city. and unbOunded credit for the way
in which 70 was handled belongs to
