THE GREAT CARNIVAL.
CARRIED THROUGH IN SPITE OF
 THE RAIN STORM.

Over 10000 People Reconsideration Decorations and IIIuminatiOns Marred
 by RaIn-AutO Contest Pulled OR-
 First Prize Won by: Mrs. Reichert.
 What gave promise of being one of
 the most successful affairs ever plan
 ned for Savin Rock was somewhat mar
 red by the heavy thunder shower that
 came up last night. Extensive prepa-
 rations had been made under the per
 sonal direction of Joseph Johnson,
 aided by many of his friends, and the cottagers in general, who were ably
 backed up by Manager Punderford of the Consolidated Railway to make the
 carnival one that would be a credit to
 all concerned. And in that they were eminently successful, The decorations
 all along the line were of the finest.
 The electric displays were planned on
 a gigantic scale, while the water car
 nival and the automobile parade gave
 promise of being something that was
 both unique and original. But as the
 Scotch poet Robbie Burns" says "Fhe
 best laid schemes O men and mice gaen
 aft a gley." And so it was that the ele- |ments laid low the well planned schemes
 of Mr. Johnson and the others were
 torn to pieces by the thunder which be-
 gan to let itself be heard just about the
 time that everything gave promise of
 being carried through to successful
 issue. It was keep disappointment

 10000 people had assembled to enjoy the evenings entertainment. The wa
 ter carnival had to be abandoned al- together, and the fireworks were rem dered useless, while the other deeora- tions also suffered at the hands of the rain storm. At 10 o'clock, during a Hull in the storm and in order to keep faith with the crowd, Mir. Johnson and MT Punderfornl decided to pull off the au- tomobile part of the carnival, and head ed by the White City band and Holts band the machines got in line and started from the east end of Beach | street, passing Moegling's Beach ouse they were reviewed by the judges, who were as folIows: Henry Lamb, D. J. Hinman, c. A. MoelIer, J. Lyon and l Jenes Mustarde The various machines We're well received by the crowd as they | passed in line and it was with some difficulty that the judges could make a l decision, especially was this the case in | the third and fourth places. The first l prize was awarded to Mrs. Reichert, lit | second to the Etheoplian design belong ing to MT. Campbell, and the third to | Joe Hubinger's machine, while that of l H, Hyman received honorable mention, and made a bold bid for third place. The decisions seemed to give general | satisfaction, and Mir. Johnson was con- gtatulated on all hands at the success | of this, his first carnival, in spite of | rain and storm, and he assured those l present that another one would take | place sometime in August, when he hoped the weather would be more pro- pitious On this occasion fire valuable prizes will be given. \ s#
