two to fifteen years took part in the
exercises and each number was rem

The entertainment opened with
the crowning of the Carnival Queen

part.
The scarf drill, wand drill, ribbon
drill and wreath drill were cleverly
executed.
The baby minuet by four little
tots was a very pleasing feature.

tributed to make the event a sue

entitled, "a Clothier Drummer"
The playing of the combined Bar
low and Casino orchestras was one
Of the pleasing features of the even
ing.
In the ollo, Carl Charles appears as
a hand balancer and equillbrist. His
act is good but he received cold
reception Monday evening. Fred r..
Russell, the comedian, served to keep
the Audience laughing. The operate
and patomimic extravaganza by Chas.
Cameron and Harry Toledo Is one of
the strongest acts on the bill and was
well received Jennings and Renfrew
the ''Kingpins of Coontown," made a
hit with their songs and buck and
wing dancing The last act by Kates
brothers, acrobats and Spanish ring
experts, is one of the strongest on the
bill and their hand-to-hand balancing
and other difficult feats were enthus-
iastically appauded.

Barberton, Aug. 12.-Letters from
the Canal commission and from Mr..
johnson of the tate Board OF Pub
lie Works. jogging the memory of the
Council in regard to the promise made
to take up the canal question at the
meeting last Monday night, and re-
questing that some action be taken
at the meeting last night, was read
by the clerk.
The matter was taken up and dis
cussed at some length by the men,
bers of the Council and 1t was the
general sense of that body that 81 900,
the amount set by the Canal commits
sion, was too much to expect Barber
ton to pay for the kind of water pro-
vided by the canal, especially when 1t
Is considered that an equal amount
is expected from the manufacturers
The Council thought $500 was all that
ought to be expected from Barbcrton
and Solicitor Il. F. Baker, Councilman
Taylor and Water Works Trustee II.

mttee to go to Columbus to confer
