One week of the carnival closed last
night, a week badly interrupted by
rainy weather.
WhiS the attendance has not al
ways been as liberal as seemed de-
sirable, there has been no fault to
find with the stadium. With almost a
unanimous vote the quality of the
show has been Endorsed.
In order to secure the exceedingly
high grade of attractions, the man
agement has spared no reasonable ex-
pense, and can at least have the sat
isfaction of know that every visitor
got his or her moneys worth. In
fact the excellence of the show have
been a subject of general remark in
the city, and among the visitors.
Last night there was a fair sized
crowd inside the stadium. and in many
ways the performance was the best
yet offered
Program Enjoyed.
Troop H, Seventh Cavalry, proved as
entertaining as on former occasions,
and fully sustained it's reputation &C
ouired during the earlier engagements
Of the week. Each man, and the
horses as well. did his part and the
drill was a thing Of artistic skill. The
monkey drill, the attack on the men
entrenched behind their horses, and
the other features occupied forty min
utes.
The Bicketts, in their ladder act, and
the Indian juggler, proved acceptable
and later the Bicketts won applause In
their casting act, as did Melville in
his trapeze specialties. Every per-
former showed skill in his part.
THE Stones, in their bicycle riding
within the iron globe, proved one OF
the most interesting events OF the per
torrance. and though Stone and MS
,,7otor cycle only occupied a, very few
minutes. the act was looked forward
had seen it more than once.
Following this act came the nre-
works which hissedj and exploded in
mid air, sending down showers OF merry
snrav This neverrending source OF
delight was enjoyed. Bombs rockets
end wheels were touched off In pro-
fusion. piIxe.
Tho pike had a good crowd last
NIGHT. Including many who did not go
info the stadium, but remained out
side to take in the side shows ana 10
engage in confetti battles.
For more than three hours DOM pc
fore and after the adjournment OF the
stadium performance, the streets Were
thronged with gay reVelers, VINO III
t,idod their time between the attrac-
tions and taking turns around the
streets.
The confetti throwing was more gen
eral than on any previous night, and
was engaged in by young and old IN
perfect good humor. No acts OF row.
dvism were committed. and except TO
eject a drunken man from the grounds,
the police were not called on fer any
active duty.
AS heretofore, the street car service
was good, the crowds being handled
on the A. and B. line and on the
Montgomery street line with dispatch.
AS already announced, the carnival
will continue Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, as the rain interfered with
the performance for three days. The
railroads have granted the same re-
duced rates as prevailed the last week,
and will no doubt bring in many who
were kept away by the unfavorable
weather
