The carnival is now in full swing
and the success of it is fully assured.
The weather man after weeks of hard
luck stories has finally relented and
for the remainder of the week he
promises weather that will be suitable
for the carnival.
Last night was to all intents and
purposes the opening night of the car
nival and for the first time the street
shows, the Ferris wheel and all the
other attractions, and their name is
legion, began to make their inroads
into the pocketbooks of the people of
the city. Fully three thousand people
thronged the streets last night and in
spots the crowd was an exceedingly
boisterous one. footing horns and
that continuance of the Satanic ma jesty
known as "Horse Fiddle" kept up a
din during the entire evening, while
some of the more reckless proceeded to
arm themselves with sawdust and con-
fetti and made life miserable for the
pedestrians.
1t is the general impression that the
shows offered by the Carnival company
are far above the usual attractions of
the street fair and some of them are
certainly worthy of liberal patronage.
Clown the Line" is d favorite ex.
preston just at present and many
people of the city started to make the
tour Of all the shows last night. It
will probably take them several even
ings to complete the trip, as some of
the shows last for full hour, while in
other tents a continuous performance
is kept up.
At the corner of South and Main
streets the Moorish Palace will be
opened this evening. 1t is said to be
one of the biggest attractions OF the
fair. At the corner of Main and Wis
sin streets is to be found the animal
show, which is worthy Of any man S
Is cents. The show is good one
and contains a host of clever, we'll
trained animals. The show lasts for
half an hour and many of the acts are
of startling nature.
Just across the street Prof. Drews is
sleeping in his temporary grave and
hundreds of people visited the tent last
night to look in on the odd spectacle
There is no doubt but that Drews will
remain in the grave until Saturday,
and as watchers are being kept about
the tent there seems to be absolutely
no possibility Of this exhibition prov
ing fake.
Between Park and Wisconsin streets
is horrible exhibition of "Bo b."
the snake man. This show must be
seen to be appreciated, but there is lit
tie doubt but what the man who sees it
will remember it. The miniature Fer
ris Wheel is also popular feature in
this part of the street and it was
crowded at every trip during the open
ing night.
The best show on the street is the
show called GA Night in Japan" at
the corner of Park and Main streets.
Half dozen Japanese men and women
give an exhibition of magic here
which surpasses anything ever seen in
Kenosha. 1t is certainly one of the
best attractions ever seen in Kenosha,
whether in an opera house or in a tent
show.
"Lunette," the flying lady, did a
great business last night for an open
ing and the attraction is clever one.
The young woman suspended IN mid
air does a number of dances and shows
some very pretty and artistic poses.
In the German village at the corner
of Main and Market streets, there are
a number of clever singers and dancers
and the music furnished is of high
order. In many ways this is the most
high class show on the street.
The Statue Turning to Life was not
opened last night, but it opens this
evening
The Old Plantation is said to be the
same show shown at the Buffalo ex-
position. The show consists of 2 score
of ''Down South negroes and they
give a rather catchy performance in
the way of singing and dancing. It
did a great business last night and
every one seemed satisfied with the
performance.
The high dive, the first of the free
attractions to be put on, was seen for
the first time Tuesday night. A lad
der reaching into the air for seventy
eight feet was erected on Market
Square and below it was tank con-
tang some eight feet of water. At 10
O'Clock K. McComb, who is renowned
as diver, mounted to the top of the
ladder, and while thousand people
stood breathless the man 1eaped off
into the tank. The daring feat was
cheered to the echo by the astounded
multitude. McComb repeated the dive
