The judges have not been selected. A

The principal committee is that tc
collect money to defray the expenses,
and it is hoped they will meet with a
hearty response from the citizens OF the
town. The committee is composed OF
Oliver G. Billings, Pierre HI. Stanton,
Eugene F. Haines and Charles LaTour.
1t should be understood that there is no
attempt on the part of any one to make
money out of the celebration, and any
balance left after the expenses are paid
is put in bank and draws interest until
the following year. Last year the COM
mittee used the surplus to purchase a
number of comfortable benches, and
now there will be seats for all.
The celebration will be conducted
along the same lines as heretofore, but
on more elaborate scale. A committee
has been appointed to secure a band, in
stead of the orchestra which furnished
music last year. The day will close
with display of fireworks, and it is
to set them off on float in
Shinn's cove. The display will thus be
directly opposite the spectators.
AS in previous years, admission to the
Early Risers' grounds, where the cele-
oration is held, will be by ticket. These
are for sale by members of the soliciting
at 25 cents each. Persons
prizes or supplies will be given
complimentary tickets. The grounds
will be thrown open to the public in the
evening, and no tickets will be required

Turing the afternoon and evening.
Special efforts will be made to secure

afternoon races and the evening parade

er event fell off somewhat last year,
because the judges were re-
tricted to the one consideration of
beauty in awarding the carnival prizes.
several unique canoes were practically
nut of competition last year because of
his basis of awards. The class for boats
md floats has proved disappointment,
md may not be continued. In all proba-
'ility there will be three classes for
anoes, and prizes will be awarded to the
most beautiful, most unique, and to the
,est representation of some particular
'bject. These classes will give the con-
wide scope for originality, and
because of the increased number of
'rizes, encourage many canoe owners to
ompete.
