Over six thousand people were
here on Sunday last, the Southern
Pacific rail road having brought III
some $500. For one day, New
Iberia was full Of life, every where
could be seen croNts, and 1t re-
sembled Canal st. New Orleans,
during carnival. 1t is estimated
that $4,000, was left in the town
on Sunday by the strangers. II
seems a rather big amount, and 1t
is. Supposlng however only $4,000
was left here, ave. aging 81 per
each stranger, it still i a large sum
for one day. If $4,000 or $40, 900
can be left here on such occasions,
why not have them more frequently ?
New Iberia has had the experience
Of handling a large crowd, she
knows that large crowd can al
ways be depended on to come here
| ii we try to get them, and she
knows that 1T pays to have crowd
come here, therefore why not have 2
large crowd here more frequently!
With but very little efforts,
6, 600 people were brought here
If a great effort was made, there
Ils no reason why 10000 or 2,G0t
people should not be had, and i
that many were brought here, i
/ would mean that much more money

directly.
