The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1904-05-19
Last Night Wasa Record Break
er at the Carnival.
All The Shows Well Patronized and
the Attendance Was About
1000.
AN OTHER GOOD CROWD TODAY

The crowd at the carnival last night
was the largest Of the week, and was
estimated at 1000. Hundreds Of
people who were there the night before
returned, and the carnival grounds
are daily livelier than at any previous
carnival.
The various attractions which are
all first class, had fine business, and
the patronage was all that could be
desired. At nearly every performance
the tents were crowded.
The afternoon crowds are also grow
ing daily, and it is the time many Of
the children are taken to see the
sights. On account of the crush at
night many of the ladies go in the
afternoon and take the little ones.
Strangers are arriving on every
train. There were not many the
first two days because of the
weather, but from now on hundreds
are expected from every direction to
spend the day, many to spend the
remainder of the week with friends.
Paducah has had several carnivals
in recent years and many people were
under the impression that there was
nothing new to be seen in that form
of entertainment. The multitude
that have already attended the shows
of Colonel Mundy are however, con-
WINGED that there are many new fes-
lures OF the highest order of merit in
the Colonel's big organization.
Expressions of wonder, delight and
establishment are heard on every side
and the unanimous verdict is that
the Mundy Carnival Company has by
far the cleanest and best attractions,
the most polite and best class of en-
ployes and the most elegant and re-.
fined performances of any similar
entertainment that has ever visited
the city.
The immense crowds in attendance
gives ample testimony to the worth
of the exhibition as a whole and the
foresight and genius of Colonel Mundy
has displayed in building this season s
aggregation.
While all his shows are ce rtainly
fine, the trained animal show seems
to attract the largest audiences. The
magnificent front used by this attrac-
ton was put up for the first time
here.
The Crystal Maze, venitian Glass
Blowers. Lolita, Loretta, Creation, The
Ocean Wave and the Ferris Wheel,
Cave of the Wind, Foolish House all
please and are doing their share Of
business. While the big Hippodrome
draws immense audiences who are
loud in praise of every act they wit
nessl within its amphitheater.
The ton of coal given as Tuesday
nights prize at the country store, was
won by the combination numbers OF
l07-f19-131 and last night Mrs. Far
row won the rocking chair ON num-
bers OF 104-l16-12s. Numbers 101-l13-
