Carnival association, which bids fair
to become substantially established
corporation and arrange carnivals an
nually for Paducah. The closing fes-
tivities of the carnival Saturday night
brought out one of the largest crowds
ever seen in Paducah on an occasion
of any kind. Broadway for blocks
was thronged with merry, generous
mass that was so dense at times people
could hardly move.
The Ferari attractions did Q rousinG
business, and Sunday morning there
was little left to show Of the week of
fun except piles of trash and confetti
and stacks of lumber. The shows were
packed for transportation rs rapidly
% possible Saturday, some Of them al
most before the crowds had left the
tents Saturday night. There was not
serious accident of any description to
mar the pleasure of the week, and the
police force, under the direction of
Captain Henry Bailey. Lieutenant Har-
Ian and Officer Moore, who was acting
lieutenant, did fine work, and feel
gratified over the records. which show
comparatively few arrests, and no
thefts or robberies of consequence.
There were number of special police
men, but all were under the direction
of Captain Bailey, who apportioned
his men in . manner that fully de- |
monstrated his ability Is head of the
police department, which was left in
his charge by Marshal Grow, who
went to the National Chiefs oonven-
tion at New Orleans.
The amount cleared by the carnival
association will be in the neighborhood
of "a, 900. This will not go to the Elks
lodge. as has been enormously stated.
but may become part of q building

lodge organized into q corporate body, |
or into something similar. Under a
ruling of the last grand lodge. no lodge
itself can receive any pecuniary bene-
at from carnival. Il ia little ear
ly, however, to discuss the disposition
of the proceeds of the carnival, and it
will probably require some little time
to wind up the carnival business and
prepare a report.
Paducah's next carnival will be that
Of the Red Men in October. 1t will be
Enclosed, and as near the central part
of the city as possible to get it. The
attractions will be furnished by big
Cincinnati company, and preparations
will soon begin for 1t, in order to-have
eerything ready in time to give 1t all
possible advertising before hand. It
seems certain that the people of Padu-

more than two year success.
Director General Lag omarsino stated
today that the success Of the carnival
was perfectly Satisfactory in every res
pect, and that the committee was
greatly pleased. The Ferari Brothers
are satisfied with the patronage accord
ed them, considering the weather. aud
while they may not make great deal,
theyswill lose nothing.
Chairmsp James NJ. Lang, Of the
automobile committee, stated this
morning that the drawing for the
handsome machine was arousing more
interest than the mayoralty race, and
that he was kept busy answering let
tiers and kilograms relative to the
lucky number. This morning . man
in Cincinnati telegraphed to know
what number drew 1t. Chairman
Lang states that the drawing will pos
itively take place next Saturday night.
Although the sale Of tickets has not
been as large as desired, the drawing
is announced to come of Saturday
next without fail.
The buggy was drawn by Miss Gar
nett. of 1905 CLAY street, the lucky
number being 3025.
No. 1884 won the camera at the
country store Saturday night, and
Judge VIM. Marble, of 631 Court
