last week, the Excelsior Carnival OPP
ened its second week last night with
hundreds in attendance and all the at
fractions drawing well. Members of
the hospital governing board and cit
izens, including few city officials,
acted as ticket men and barkers and
raked the dimes in like cherries. Es-
pecially noteworthy is the unbroken
patronage continuously at the circus,
ferris wheel and -go-round, but
all the tents and shows are visited by
scores of people every night and ev-
cry catch-dime device is patronized
by loyal citizens, actuated by two
causes, desire for fun and to aid the
hospital.

helpers. The Ladies' Auxiliary tents
at the Smith street entrance of the
grounds are inviting and number
of the ladies are on duty every night.

to realize handsome sum for the
