The Approaching Carnival.

! Members OF the Ankokas Canoe Clut
and the Early Risers' Club held a meeting
at the latter's bungalow last night, when
steps were taken to arrange details for the
regatta and carnival which these combined
organizations are to make feature of the
Fourth of July celebration In Mount Hol
ly.
In order to avoid bend in the creek,
the races will start at 2 o'clock sharp
from the bungalow and proceed toward
the dam in straightaway course. This
change from the course of year ago will
enable people to see all of the racing
events, which has not been the case here
tofore.
Entrance to the bungalow grounds will
be by card. In the enclosure luncheon
and ice cold beverages will be placed on
sale, with free use of pure artesian well
water for drinking purposes
An orchestra will furnish music from
2 until 8 o'clock, and there will be plenty
of seats on the ground.
In presenting this carnival, to which a
large amount of labor is attached, 1t Is
only the purpose to cover expenses, which
are considerable. The approval bestowed
year ago gives reasonable assurance that
the present undertaking will be success
full from financial point of view. In
case any citizens or merchants desire to
contribute cash or donate prizes, the So
liciting committee will soon get busy to
see that none of them are denied the priv
ilege of being liberal on this patriotic &C.
casion, which will furnish line of at
tractive and harmless sport in keeping
with the desire for a safe and sane Fourth.
The carnival will assemble at Ross cove
and move at 8 o'clock. Those not pres
ent at that time will get left. Prompt
ness will be feature of this number on
the programme so that the display of fire.
works will not be DELAYED.
The Mount Holly Water Company will
be waited upon and respectfully request
ed. to insure success of the carnival and
other aquatic events, that there be full
head of water maintained until P. M.

of the members of the Early Risers' Club
