FIFTH ANNUAL CARNIVAL
Closed Tuesday Night With
Record Attendance And
nnnASx,Ao

Receipts
Old Jupiter PIuvius camped right
on the Community Fire Company
carnival grounds in Rising Sun, and
turned on shower or two almost
every night during the progress OF
the fifth annual carnival, the orig
inal dates of which were July 81 to
August 8.
While rain caused the carnival to
start day late, and also broke it up
at an early hour on Tuesday night,
Aug. 4, and August 8, when large
crowds were in attendance, it ap-
pears to have been a boost as well,
as it caused the affair to be con-
tnued Monday and Tuesday evenings
of this week, and the gross receipts
show greater sum taken in than at
any previous carnival held by the
fire company.
The closing nights receipts-Tues-
day-also broke the record for any
single nights receipts in the five
years that the carnival has been
conducted.
There was one of the largest crowds
present on the last night, ever as
sembled on the grounds, as the
gross receipts of $2,70O.O2 go to
prove. The best previous one
nights receipts were those of
Saturday, Aug. 9, 1924, when the
sum of $2,575.1S was taken in.
The total gross receipts for the
nine nights of the carnival this year
were $12,446.S4. This sum broke
all previous records.
In 1928 the gross receipts were
N$11, 1,937.95, high water mark up to
this year.
AS all bills are not yet in it is
impossible to state what the net
receipts will be.
Much interest centered in the
awarding of the handsome Flint
Six sedan, given the lucky ticket
holder, and the auto booth was a
busy place clear up to the last
minute. The car went to Harry
Watts, of near town. X
We are unable to give the sums
turned in by the various booths, at
this time, but the receipts for the
various nights may be- of interest.
There were as follows?
August 1, $1,6O1.61; Aug. 8,
$SO7.17; Aug. 4, $1,92S.S3; Aug.
S, $639.12; Aug. 6, $1,142.24: Aug.
7, $1,115.S9; Aug. 8, $1,7O5.53;
Aug. 10, $S26.93; Aug. IL, $2,-
70O.eS.
The firemen are much gratified at
the success of the carnival and are
greatly indebted to the entire COM
munity for the more than generous
donations of cakes, fancy articles.
etc., etc., and the liberal patronage
of everyone.
Too much praise cannot be given
to the large corps of workers, and
the ladies of our community here
played prominent part, doing more
than their share in helping to make
the 1925 carnival of the Community
Fire Company the most successful
one yet held.
