LARGE ATTENDANCE AT
CARNIVAL LAST NIGHT.
Rain at Close Mars Pleasure OF
Evening in Measure.

ha1n AT close mars treasure OF
Evening in Measure.
More than 1000 people visited the
carnival last night, and except for the
showers later in the night the occasion
would have been the most successful
of its kind so far.
Early in the evening the Pike at
fractions were doing a good business
and when the hour for opening the
stadium gates arrived there was a
crowd of 1900 people waiting to get in.
1t is estimated that nearly 5000
people were inside the stadium when
the performance began. The reserved
seats were all sold before the show
opened. The attendance inside the
stadium was the largest of the three
night performances given.
The exhibition by Troop H. Seventh
Cavalry, opened the entertainment,
and it's good work was enjoyed. Owing
to the threatening showers the drill
was somewhat shortened. The Stones
did their bicycle riding act inside the
steel globe, and the ladder act of the
Bicketts and the Indian juggler were
completed when the rain began to fall.
AS the Bicketts We're preparing for
their casting act on the trapeze the
crowd began to leave.
For the purpose of holding the crowd
as long as possible, in the hope that
the shower would cease, the fireworks
were set off. The picture of Mayor
Myers was burned, but owing to the
dampness and wind the results were
not as satisfactory as desired. One
effect of the rain was to drive large
crowds into the side shows which con-
sequently did a thriving business.
This afternoon school children will
be made a rate of Is cents for the
stadium and a half rate for the side
shows. The afternoon performance
will begin at o'clock and the night
performance at $3.50 o'clock. The Pike
attractions will open shortly after
noon.
AS already announced, the carnival
will continue for three days next week,
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
There will be a performance each
night. the present stadium attractions
having been secured for that additional
time
The railroads yesterday announced
rate of one fare for the round trip,
plus % cents, for next week, tickets
being good to return until Thursday.
This is the same rate as prevails this
week.
With favorable weather to-day it is
expected that the attendance will be
larger than for any day since the be-
ginning of the carnival week.

CROWDS THRONG STADIUM
AND PIKE AS WELL.
street Was Scene of Merriment I'm
til a Late Hour.

After nearly filling up the stadium
last night, there was an overflow meet
ing of the carnival visitors in the
Pike. Every spieler was able to get
a hearing while he told of the Won
ders to be seen inside his particular
canvas, and each show received a lib
eral patronage.
When the gates of the stadium were
opened at o'clock there was a huge
crowd in front, which pushed it's way
in through the two entrances. Two
ticket takers at each entrance were
kept busy for nearly half an hour
before the rush was over.
Long before the beginning of the
show all of the reserved seats We're
filled, and hundreds were turned away
by the reserved seat man. and found
places in the bleachers. By reason of
the superb arrangement of the seats,
all were able to get a good view of
the attractions.
Outside in the Pike there was a wild
er diversity of choice, twenty shows
reckoning at once to the visitors. Be-
tween acts there was confetti throw
ing, and lots of fun strolling up and
down the street. The greatest good
uuiIlOT prevailed ana young and old
Joined heartily in the merry-making.
The Pike shows did a good business
along with the general prosperity
3hoat.
One of the richest and rarest attrac-
tons of the Pike is Prince Nicholi,
said to be the smallest man living. He
is less than nineteen inches high. and
weighs sixteen pounds. Last night
when his manager lifted him up on
his hand and asked the Prince what
made his pockets so heavy, the midget
answered booze" The little fellows
conversations are most amusing. He
is 30 years old and says he is a Rus
sian.
The Volcano was among the popu-
lar resorts, its instructive features be-
ing one of it's strong points. Mystic
rious Asia, with it's dancing girls, had
full house at every performance.
"Chequeta," the smallest horse in the
world, also proved an entertaining
show and many patrons were pleased
with the exhibition.
After the showers had somewhat
scattered the crowd inside the stad-
ium, there was a rush for the tents
and the side shows did a rushing bus
mess. and all along the Pike until a
late hour the festivities were in prog
resS.

KELLY APPEALS TO
SUPERIOR COURT
CertiOraris Case From
Wickham's COurt.
Justice

y OOuFts
Judge Cam yesterday signed an or
der admitting the certiorari proceed
ings in the case of Younglove G. Sin
pie VS.. John Kelly, for the possession
of a horse, to the docket of the Su-
perior Court.
The case grew out of a horse trade
which Kelly alleges he made with a
duly authorized representative of
Younglove & Sipple. The evidence in
troduced by the plaintiffs in the JUS
tice court proceedings was to the ef-
rect that Kelly, who drives a cab.
went to their stable and wanted to
buy horse.
Not knowing Kelly the man left in
charge of the stable declined to make
a sale to him without cash payment.
1t is alleged. Kelly, so il is claimed.
then asked that the horse, which he
had formerly owned, be loaned to him
IN exchange for the one he had been
driving
1t is claimed that this is the under
standing under which the horse went
into the possession of Kelly Temporal
rily. He was, according to the plain
tins testimony, to be returned the
next day. After several days had
passed and Kelly did not show up with
the horse the plaintiffs took out a
possessory warrant, and the horse was
ordered turned over to them. Kelly
claims bona fide trade was made.

The above message, received at the
local Weather Bureau at $50 last
night, indicates that all danger of the
reported storm. so far as Savannah
and vicinity is concerned, has passed.
The local indications for to-day are
clearing, with slightly cooler weather.
Sometime yesterday morning the Gulf
storm passed Savannah somewhere off
the coast, and it is this storm which
is now reported as moving between
Wilmington and New York. That the
storm has been moving inward to the
interior is believed to indicate that it
is losing strength.
The warning signals were put up
last night for the benefit of outgoing
vessels and some needed the warn
ing and will not sail to-day, unless
the reports are favorable.
The rise in the river has been such
that during yesterday several boats
which have been unable to navigate
on account of the exceedingly low wa
ter were able to resume their jour-
neys. The rain, as indicated, was gen
eral throughout the Savannah river
