Everything is now set and awaits
only the opening time, tomorrow ev
ening, for the annual Firemen's Fail
and Carnival, held by the Carlisle Fire
Company, of Milford. The carnival
this year promises to be the best evel
held by the local fire laddies-and that
speaks a lot Without doubt the
members of the Carlisle Fire Com
pany put on the cleanest and best fire
mems carnival in the State, and the
people of this community are strong
for the firemen.
The carnival will open each night
with band concert at 1880 o'clock,
and from that time until late in the
night it will be one round of merri-
ment for those who attend the affair.
The booths have all been put in place,
decorated and the fair grounds are all
wired ready for the lighting topaorrow
night. A fine merry-go-round has
been erected on the grounds for the
pleasure of those who enjoy this fea-
ture of entertainment. A number of
new games have been purchased this
year to add to the attractiVeness of
the carnival in addition to many of
the features of last years affair
which have been retained.
For years past the firemen have pro-
vided a free attraction each night in
the form of high diver. This has
been done away with this year, but
feature which it is thought will be
more desirable and attractive to those
To- oh
night before the closing hour a fine
prize will be given away to some per-
son on the grounds absolutely free.
These prizes will be worth about $50
each night, and are such that they
will prove of interest to the patrons
of the carnival. The manner in which
the prize will be given is novel. All
persons who purchase chances at any
of the booths during the evening will
be asked to write their names on the |
tickets, after the wheel has been spun |
for whatever article the chance was |
taken on. The coupons will be depos-
tied in large barrel and each even
ing they will be shaken up and
drawn before the closing hour. The
f1remen make only one stipulation in
the drawing. This is that the person
whose name is drawn must be on the
grounds and answer to his name when
it is drawn. If they are not, then a
second name will be drawn.
Last year the fremen did not work
Tery hard for parades, but this sea-
son they have provided two large pa
.ades for the entertainment of the Wis
tors to town. On Tuesday evening a
arge parade for decorated automO-
piles and business floats will be held
1t six o'clock in the evening. No re-
jtrictions are placed upon any person
Who desires to enter his car. AutOmo-
)iles from everywhere are invited. A
)rize of $500 in gold for the best dec
,rated automobile, and a prize of $40 {
or the second best decorated car will '
)e awarded. Prizes for the same {
mount will be awarded to the win /
lers in the business float class. I
On Thursday evening at six o'clock,

7iremen from every town in the state a

arade, and many of them are ex-

ppearance; $4,000 best equipment; n
nd $4,000 for company coming great n
st distance. These parades will be v
bove the ordinary, and will be well n
-orth coming to see. a
The farmers who have been sOlic- g
ed for chickens and farm products e
ave responded nobly. While some Of A
le routes did not measure up to a
hat they did last year, the majority s.
Z them have responded even better P
ian they did last season. AS a re- n
lit, the farmers booth will be greatly h
llarged and made a bigger part of N
le carnival than ever. The firemen A
re well pleased at the manner in et
hich their farmer friends have re- W
,onded to their appeal. In some dis W
lets of the rural section, however, 81
70 impression still prevails that the RI
arlisle Fire Company makes charge Of
$25.00 for answering call for aid. to
his is not so. No charge whatever is OF
ade by the firemen, and they are 81
Ily too glad to respond at any hour n
they are needed. If any persons have
Id back contributions for this rea-
n, they should bring in their pro-
ice.
In addition to the features mention nj
, many other methods Of entertain De
