New city governments were chosen in nineteen of ‘he thirty-one cities of Massa- chusetts yesterday, and in three-quarters of them there was practically no enthus- jasm whatever. In many places party lines were not drawn, and in Springfield, Somer- ville, Gloucester,, Brockton and other cit- ies the battle was fought on the A. P. A. issue. The contest in Springfield was one of the warmest in the history of that city and re- sulted in the overthrow“of candidates In- dorsed by the A. P. A. In Somerville, where the organization has had control, its can- didate for mayor was defeated after a bit- ter fight. They, however, retained control ot the board of alderman. The secret or- ganization was tfiumphant in Gloucester and Brockton. Republicans showed unexpected eo in Fall River, and carried it by nearly 1,500 plurality, They also carried Lawrence, former democratic stronghold, Mariboro, Malden, Brockton and ton again elected republican mayors. democrats won a victory in Ha or Jewett meeting defeat by over G00 fine - 8 by over S00. News ity. Among the cities which voted in favor of license were: Lawrence, r, Haver- hill, Marlboro, Woburn Bedford. ‘The cities that remain in the no license col- umn are: Brockton, Taunton, Newton, Som- erville, Fitchburg, Waltham, Malden and Gloucester. COLUMBIA. CARNIVAL Great Success Anticipated for the Eagerly Expected Event, Opening Exeréikes ‘Tonight — Many Beautifal Effects and a Host of Novel Features. The carnival of the Columbia Athletic Club, for which such-careful and elaborate preparations have been made, will open to- right at the club house, on G street be- tween 17th .and 18th, and continue until Saturday, December 14. The immense bulld- ing, which has been the home of the lead- ing athletic club of the. south for several years past, been completely transform- ed from its familiar aspect, and save for the general configuration of its interior, would be scarcely recognizable by those most familiar with it. Time and money without stint have been expended upon the decora- tions, and the various roonts, apartments, halsl and corridors resemble bits of fairy- land in their novel beauty. The reception room, on the second floor, 1s remarkable in point of floral decorations. Ceiling and walls are canopied and draped in thick masses of southern smilax, while a bewll- dering mass of rare and beautiful flowers, including all the varieties in and out of season, fill the apartment with color and perfume. The gymnasium has been. taste- fully and handsomely decorated, and the same holds good of the parlors, smoking rooms and other portions of the club house, that have been given up to a ten-day ’sea- son of good cheer, fun and entertainment, The electric light display will be some- thing really magnificent. There are scores of prettily arranged beoths on the various floors, which will be presided over by many of the leading and most popular matrons and misses of the capital, assuring a social success for the carnival that will doubtless be duplicated in a substantial way. THe “object of the event is to secure funds by which the club may be relieved of its present heavy float- ing indebtedness, and as the result. of the ten days will determine whether or not the C. A..C. can continue in existence or not, there is a general desire on all sides to assist in making the carnival a big suc- cess. Many novel features are to be pre- sented. Votaries of luck ean try their hand at the ever-popular paddles, while the same seekers after fortune’s favors will have an additignal opportunity in the fishing pond, where’ queer specimens of metal fish will be angled for with magnetic hooks. There will be a Midway Plaisance in the gym- nasium, and a shooting gallery on the lower floor, where the festive turkey may be se- cured for the family larder. The opening exercises will take place at 8 o'clock tonight, and will begin with an address by District Commissioner Ross. Dr. Thomas Calver will read a dedicatory poem, “The Athlete.” The Marine Band will play Prof. Fanciulli's march, “The Athlete,” which he wrote for the occasion and dedicated to the club, and there will be instrumental music by the Madrid Mando- lin Club. Taere will also be a calisthenie drill by the junicr athletic class, and a sparring bout between Mr. J. R. Elder and Geo. Carter, the club's instructor of sparr- ing. Not the least interesting features of the program will be the presentation of liv- ing pictures, “An Apotheosis of Athietics” and “The Vestal Virgin.” ———— Homeopathic Society. The Washington Homeopathic Medical Seciety held its annual meeting last night in the Ebbitt House. Papers were read by Drs. G. W. N. Custis, N. Krogstadt, Alice Burritt, J. B. G.
