or Forecast for Opening Day.
LEyEF AT RICE HOTEL ANNOUNCED.

Fair weather is the forecast Tor today.
After the drenehing rain Of yesterday the
above intelligence was received with a
sigh Of relief by the anxious minions OF
King Notice ~, who have been sparing
neither pains nor effort TO make his annual
visit to the capital city of his realm one
OF gorgeousness and magnihcence.
The glimpse Of Midway which Hous-
tonians enjoyed Saturday night was sur
ficient to tap the vein Of carnival Jolllty,
which has been kept within bounds only by
extra heavy coping ever since the drill
was started into the wealth OF carnival
riches now brought 10 the surface The
scenes within the high enclosure were
indicative Of the rush and go that will be
observed there throughout the week. Tho
crowds are headed this way, and IL the
water.spout OF Jupiter Piuyius can be
turned away from the Magnolia City this
week the Carnival will be a success equal
to the dreams Of the widest enthusiast.
~
The events Of the opening day Of the
Carnival can not be said 70 be fairly
launched until Notice ~ is safely resting
within our gates. The impenetrable secrecy
that surrounds the movements OF this
monarch makes 1t impossible for even a
newspaper 70 obtain the exact hour OF
his arrival. He has slgnaled his Intentions
Of reaching Houston sometime this morn.
Ing, and has also stated that he has adopt
ed the up-to-date method Of transportation
and has abandoned his ship that former
" piled IN Buffalo bayou, and now journeys
IN IN air ship. The fact that his point OF
disembarking has not been received by
wireless message has left the reception
committee IN sad plight, but these gentle
men will be IN constant readiness to an
sver the first signal, and will see
that the reception accorded is in full
measure TO the high station of his majesty.
The reception committee is composed Of
the following gentlemen: John Mcclellan,
ii. T. Keller. ). 81. LiIlieuthal, Charles II.
