BIG CARNIVAL
OPENS TODAY

Good weather and large crowds with
plenty of money to spend, Chairman E.
, Clifford Wilson stated last night, is all
that is required to make the Carnival q
great success. Good weather will no
doubt bring out the crowds with the
money so that really, according to Mr.
Wilson'S ideas, it is now up to the wea-
ther man.
The college campus was a busy place
last night, and in fact has been a busy
place for the past several days and
evenings. Everyone seemed to be willing
and anxious to give a helping hand and
in fact this has been the spirit shown by
all ever since the preliminary arrange
ments were started several weeks ago.
Last night there were stage carpenters,
other carpenters and all classes of me-
chanics assisting with the final prepara-
tons. The committee desires to thank
all who have helped and this really
means every resident of Newark as We'll
as many who live outside of the town.
The women of Newark have been espec-
tally liberal and there is hardly woman
10 the town who has not donated a cake,
candy, etc.
The big Carnival will be opened this
evening following the automobile par
ade, which is to start from the lower
end Of the town, move up Main strest,
and enter the college grounds. The COM
mit.ee several days ago decided to start
the parade at 7 o'clock instead of 8
o'clock, as previously announced, be-
cause of the days getting shorter and
the fact that it was thought best to
;t IN, l,,, ;eI,+
machines have given assurances that
they will enter SO the parade will no
doubt be a feature. The committee has
offered so in gold to the best decorated
machine, and the judges are Farn-i
Dougherty, Levi Bowen and Everett G.
Johnson.
The committee during the past few
days has received a number more dona-
tions among which were the following:
Theodore Armstrong, $40; S. NJ. Don-
pell s5 George G. Kerr, IS; George W.
Griffin, S., and George H. Huber. $40.
What will be one special feature all
during the four days of the Carnival il
u the vaudeville and moving picture show
TO be held in the large tent. It will be
practically by local talent but those wnc
know all who are on the program, say
it will be we'll worth the 10 cents admis
sion to be charged. The committee ha:
been especially fortunate in securing
4 Mrs. Jane Murray, proprietress of a duel
farm, a short distance from Newark, Il
sing. Mrs. Murray has had consideratl,
experience singing in public and has
beautiful voice.
While the vaudeville and moving pic
ture show will be a feature, it is onl.
one of many attractions. There ar
about tents and there will be attrar
tions in all Of them. Everything tina
goes to make up the high class Carniva
has been arranged for There will b.,
the merry go round, shooting at targets
throwing at babies, ringing canes an
many other amusements. With the ex
ception of the merry go round most al
Of these amusements have been arrana
ed for by the people of Newark.
The grounds are expected to present
pretty sight of evenings, as there will b
several hundred small electric lighl
shaded with different colored Japanes
lanterns. In addition to being hel
every evening during the remainder c
the week the Carnival will also be ope
on Saturday afternoon.
