Monday, July q, a meeting of all the

the numerous committees, was held at
the carnival headquarters last night

Three Couples Will Wed in Public.
Judge E. w. Bazille, of the commit
tee on special features, reported that
no less than three public weddings
were scheduled, and that the pros
pective young man, in one Of them in
tended permitting the audience to Sc
lect the bride. AS he explained it, the
lady in the case has a twin sister and
the affections of the young man are
divided between the two. He has been
unable to reach a decision and the two
sisters are in the same boat, and In
order to settle it they have decided to
allow those who attend the carnival to
make the selection.
Lockhart's wonderful performing ele-
plants, the big feature Of the carnival,
will reach ST. Paul from Winnipeg
Sunday night. M. H. Singer, who
booked this attraction for the .associa-
ton, spent the better part of yester-
day satisfying the custom officials as
to the nature of the visit of the ele-
plants to ST. Paul, and last night was
enabled to wire the owners of the at
traction that everything had been SET
tied.
The bringing of this feature to st.
Paul means an expenditure of $4,000,
but the association thinks the attrac-
ton is worth every cent of it. This
feature is additional Ito the attractions
furnished by the Jabour Circus and
Amusement company and is expected
to prove big drawing card.
