Grinnell. Oct. S.-1he carnival goes
merrily on, and is the chief topic of
conversation. 1t has so far been so en-
tirely different from the ordinary con-
ception Of a street carnival as pro-
duced by reading and hearing the
stories of those who have witnessed
them. as to be matter of constant
surprise. The streets have been well
filled each afternoon. and fairly
crowded each evening, and still there
has been no more indication of rough
ness than may be met on any Satur-
day when the ordinary crowd is in the
streets. AL this to the ordinary OBJ
server who may be at any and all
hours of the day and evening in or
near any part of the show. Some of
the attractions would be pronounced
superior II seen anywhere and under
the most favorable conditions. and have
nothing in them to offend the intelli-
gent taste, either intellectual or moral.
While the other attractions are of the
common order and furnish the neces-
sary variety demanded by large crowds
with varying tastes, there is nothing
low or bordering on the indecent In
either the carnival aggregation proper
or the various attachments that in
variably accompany any large show.
This is the consensus of opinion of
those who have been especially inter-
ested in ascertaining the facts, and
this public statement is honestly due
to the carnival company and to the
business men of Grinnel who have
brought it here, against their own first
in many cases. and against
the protest of many citizens who did
not know what has now been so clearly
demonstrated. Only one thing more re-
mains to be seen, whether it pays the

TIGERS SENIOR
CREW IS FIRST
IN CLASS REGATTA
H. -
Oarsmen at Princeton Show Up
Surprisingly Well in
Competition.

PRINCETON, Nov. 1~4.-Struggling
against a strong head-wind, the senior
eight won the c annual Carnegie
regatta here yesterday afternoon by an
ample margin.
A crowd of 5000 persons, attracted by
the football game with Yale, which Is
scheduled for today, braved the bitter
cold and lined the shores of the lake.
Many followed the course of the COM
petings crews along the towpath of the
adjoining canal.
All who watched the regatta were
pleasantly surprised at the high state
of efficiency attained by the Princeton
oarsmen during the short time they
have been engaged in ~aquatics. Before
the race the thirty-two men composing
the four competing crews presented a
large silver loving cup to Coach c. s.
Titus in recognition OF his ~tireless eff
forts during the past two years.
Preceding the big event of the after
noon came a race between the four
class four-oared crews. This contest
was close throughout the mile course,
the freshmen finally winning by virtue
of a spectacular squirt which brought
them a scant length ahead of the Junior
oarsmen.
The principal race of the afternoon
was that between the class eights. The
course wes one and seVen-eighths
miles in length, which the senior crew
made in lin. 43 1-5s., unusually good
time, considering the head-wind.
The personnel of the winning crew
was as follows: McWilliams, bow,
Holsapple, Lathrop. Wyckoff. Moore,
Hartshorn, Armour, Howard, Fox, cox
swain.
