direct, the effect upon the city in gen

small minority that spoke decidedly in
increase in their trade for the week
of the carnival, and two or three noted
also trade from citizens who do not Or

some buying was done by those con-
nected with the carnival force. Some
spoke very decidedly against it as
business getter, while giving it the
credit of being in this case harmless
and pleasant form of amusement and
recreation.
