dunn Attractions.
Gov. Terrell will attend the carnival.
At least he says he will.
A telegram was received yesterday
stating that he will arrive Monday
morning, and will spend Monday and
Tuesday in Savannah as the guest
of the Carnival Association.
A special box for the Governor has
been ordered for the stadium, from
which he will watch the performance,
attended by a committee of Savan-
nahians.
From some convenient point Gov.
Terrell will review, in the afternoon,
the military parade, perhaps from the
De Soto Hotel balcony. The carnival
management is especially gratified at
the acceptance of the invitation by
Gov. Terrell.
Two important additions to the sta
dunn attractions were secured yester-
day, which will strengthen the shows
engaged already.
Looping the Globe" will be per-
formed by Mr.. and Mrs. Stone, who
will ride the entire circumference of
a globe made of steel bars. The globe
has an opening through which the rid
ers enter, the door being closed behind
them. The openings between the bars
are large enough to afford good view
of the riders.
Only one other man has ever per-
formed this feat, and he gave it up
because of a narrow escape from death.
He had a habit of closing his eyes
when he swung around the circle. On
one occasion his wheel swerved and
he was almost thrown off. The fright
which he received made him deter
mine to give up such a dangerous
piece of work.
The second new attraction will be
the Melville aerial acrobats, who per-
form a lot of stunts from a bicycle on
a wire in mid air. A traDeze bar is
a part of the equipment, and on this
the acrohats perform as the bicycle is
peddled over the wire.
In telegram received yesterday by
Col. j. H. Estill, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, from the War
Department, all doubt regarding the
participation of the Fort Screven ar
tillery companies in the military pa
rade was removed This will insure
the presence of over 800 regulars in
the line.
A telegram from Atlanta from Brig.
Gen. Barry, commanding this district,
says that the commanding officer at
Fort Screven has been directed to or
der his command to participate in the
military parade at the inauguration of
the carnival on Oct. 81.
The Fort Screven Band, which was
provided by the Chamber of Commerce
with instruments. will accompany the
troops. This will be its first public
exhibition since the organization dur
ing the summer. "a
The route of the military parade will
be announced to-day, though in all
probability the usual streets will be
used. The march will probably con-
clude at the stadium.
Big Crowds Promised.
Reports from out-of-town points show
that large crowds will come to the car
nival. Mr.. Charles Neville, traffic
manager of the Stillmore Air Line, was
in the city yesterday. He is prepar-
ing to bring in at least 500 people from
his line. A special train will be run
sometime during the carnival.
The building of the stadium enclos-
ure, and the seats, is progressing in a
most satisfactory manner and this part
of the preliminaries will be completed
ahead of time. The electric light poles
are being put in place and wires strung.
Just now there is something of a
lull at carnival headquarters, the kind
of lull before a storm. The show mas
been throughly advertised and the
fruits will be seen next week. Tick
cts for the advance sale are still be-
ing disposed of, in some cases in small
quantities.
