Iritixens of Washington. They talked of
il for several years afterward, and so
eEratifed were they with the spectacle
ser the series of spectaclcs and the re-
hsuIts that they organized a permanent
carnival association for the purpose of
holding a somewhat similar celebra-

Washington have kept the carnival of
1871. with its races and balls, green in
their memory. 1t was a celebration as
big in its way as was the celebration
in 1900 of the Tooth anniversary of the
establishment of the seat of govern

of course. was a more imposing and
inspiring event in several of its phases
but the Washington of 1909 was not
the Washington of 1879.
The Avenue was decorated during the
carnival more gorgeously than 1t had
sver been before. In going into this
