Only one week remains before the
ringing up of the curtain on the 1915
Mid-Pacific Carnival In seven days
the first events on the elaborate pro-
gram for the celebration will be seen
While one whole week remains, the
chairmen OF the various events are
sending in their reports to Director
general Dougherty that their plans are
all completed and ready for the open
ing OF the big show.
In these coming seven days, the prin.
cipal streets Of the city promise to
take on new appearance, and by
next Saturday to be bright and gay
with Carnival colors. A detail of men
is now at work in this extensive dec
Grating work
The above program shows the main
events on the program for the eight
days. Many of the smaller events
or events of less general interest have
been eliminated from the program as
given here.
Differing from last year, the first day
will be one of the busiest and most
eyentfuI of the eight, for into IL hours
are crowded five different features,
some going on contemporaneously with
others.
Big Ticket Sale.
The sale Of tickets is delighting the
Carnival directors They are going
with an unexpected rapidity, and warn
ing was sent out this morning to resi-
dents that they should not risk a long
er delay in securing their season
tickets. These tickets, admitting one
to every event given by the Carnival
corporation, are being sold for SIS, as
against $3.50 last year
The advent of the Ad Club into the
program of the Carnival ofe Nations
has led to enhanced expectations of
enjoyment from that feature of the
program, for in addition to what is
now known of their plans, it is ex-
pected that they will spring several
surprises and score another Ad Club
victory.
