The Approaching Carnival.

1
held in the parlor of Good Intent Fire
Company on Friday night, gives assur,
ance that the upper creek carnival and re-
| gatta, which has been feature of the sane
celebration of Independence Day In Mount
| Holly for two seasons, will be conducted
on larger and more enjoyable scale this
year than ever before.
There are three organizations interested
in the affair, the Early Risers' and Philol-
ogus Clubs, and the Ankokas Canoe Club.
1t was decided to combine the three for
this event under the name of the latter
| body, and the celebration will be under
the auspices of the Ankokas Canoe Club.
AS in former years It will take place on
the grounds of the Early Risers' Club on
the afternoon and evening of July 4.
The racing events will begin promptly
at 2 o'clock, and will be held over straight
course starting from near McHenry's cove
with the finish line at the bungalow. By
this plan all turns will be avoided, and the
| spectators will have a clear view of the
races from start to finish
No tickets will be sold this year. The
soliciting committee, of which George W.
Hand is chairman, will supply all contrib
utors with tickets. and non-ticket holders
can secure admission to the grounds upon
paying 25c at the gate.
All details will be provided fer the com.
| fort and convenience of the guests.
Sandwiches, ice cream and beverages will
be on sale.
The matter of music has not yet been
decided upon. Last year an orchestra was
secured, but If the cash contributions will
warrant such an outlay, the Metropolitan
band, of Burlington, will furnish music
during the afternoon and evening.
No attempt is made to make money on
of this celebration, the only object being to
make the event as enjoyable to all as is
possible. A small sum left from last year
has been drawing interest In local bank,
and Is available for use. A vast amount
of work Is necessary In connection with
the details, all of which Is freely contrib
uted by the men and women composing
the various committees, and the hearty
cooperation aud assistance of the public
will assure successful days pleasure.
Citizens and merchants wishing to con-
tribute cash or donate prizes will be visited
by the committee. who will see that no
one is denied the privilege of being liberal.
The parade will be In three classes, boats,
| floats and canoes, and will start from
| Ross's cove at s o'clock. An elaborate dis
play of fireworks will be given after the
award OF tDe carnival prizes.
Earl Everline, superintendent of the
pumping station, will be asked to keep Q
| full head of water in the creek on that
day. Mr.. Everline has always been very
obliging. and there is every assurance that
he and the water company will extend this
usual courtesy.
