The merchants claim that they have lost a great deal of busi- ness this week in view of the fact that the people rush past their doors headed for the’carnival where they might see a show for a cheap admis- sion price and where they might walk around the carnival grounds unmo- lested taking in all the sights which can be had. free of charge. A local meréHaiit 5 qa@otéd as say- ing that he did not know what the city was thinking ef Wwhen it allowed this carnival to play here. “We depend upon the trade of New Britain for our livelihood but when a carnival plays here, our business drops notice- ably,” he said. Still another said that il there was any way by which to stop a carniva: from playing here he was going to do $o. Other merchants have had still mere to say against thes earnival and net one saying any- thing of credit for that sort of amuse- ment. The theater managers claim that their business has been hard hit by the carnival and although the people go to the theatérs in the afternooh there are very few there in the eve- ning when the carnival is open. Not one of the theaters 18 paying. its operating expensés at present, accord-. in> to one of the managers.. Business at the theaters, however, has been pretty poor all summer due more or less to the hot weather and business depression. The carnival, in the opin- ion of many, has not driven a notice- able number of people from the thea- ters. ‘Werkingman’s Point of View. ‘The merchants claim that the work- ingmén support their stores but have taken into consideration the viewpoint held by the latter towards a carnival. “It i true that thé stores of New Britain are here all the year round,” one of ‘the workirg class said, “but a carnival is ‘Aoft.” ‘Seme " in this class will fiot' have a4 chahte to spend a vacation outside of the c¢ity and if a carnival comes to town I believe we have a perfect right to attend such,” he added, when told of the merchant’s idea. In his argument the working man said that many do not go to the theaters as they do not care for the moviés ana they should not be deprived of having such amuse- ments as carnivals in town. As for the gambling games and games of rhance, the city officials have a right 'to” Took them all over and if there s anything there pertaining to gam- bling they havé a right to stop it. Eigh class carsivals.-aré not objec- tionable. patrons say, although the merchants claim . that; the. enly re- deeming feature in them is the rev- ‘enue received by the city from them from money for a license. In the case of this week’s show the service men were guaranteed $300. BASEBALL AT ST. MARY'S. Three baseball games will ba plaved tomorrow afternoon at St. Mary’s playgrounds.

Discussions they would have with their advisers today, however, ma}, it is believed, have an import- ant:bearing on the future progress of the conversations begun on Tharsday and -continued. yesterday. Mr..De Valera remained at his ho- tel here and was expected to meet prominent Irish leaders during the day. The prime minister went to his country home at Chequers Court for the ‘week-end. It was said he would there confer in private sith' members of the cabinet and men who had tak- en a leading part in the conduct of i.Irish affairs. Three Sided Conference. Discussions between Mr. Lloyd fGeorge \and Mr. De Valera havée de- veloped. the subject of a future tri- partite . conference. among the Irish republicans, representatives of Ulster and the British government sufficient- ly. for the premier to lay before Sir James Craig, premier of Ulster, defi- mite propositions. Sir James was clos- _eted with Mr. Lloyd George yesterday after Mr, De Valera had left Down- ing street and it became known later that several members of the Ulster cabinet had been called to London. Belief was expressed in responsible quarters that Sir James wished to consult his colleagues before commit- ting himself as to certain phases of the situation that have developed as a result of Mr. De Valera's visit to London. - There was no suggestion ‘that the brevity of yesterday’s conver- sation between the premier and Mr. De "\Zalera indicated they had reached ‘a“deadloek, nor was the postponement of the conference until Monday looked upon as sighificant of danger to the. -futgre of the negotiations. _ In fact, there seemed to be a relaxation of ‘the temsion which prevailed on Thurs. “day.and yesterday and the impression .gained was that, while the situation fhad lost. none of its delicacy, some ‘progress had been made. Opposed to Craig. A statement issued at Mr. De Va- 'lera’s headquarters appeared to re- flect the determination of the’ Irish Republicans not to meet Sir James ‘Craig at least for the time being. It 'was indicated he had forfeited his right to enter the conference by re- fusing 'to ‘meet the’ Irish Republicans |§ at - Dublif, - althoiigh south Irish Unionists had availed thenmiselves of the chance to talk over matters with the Republicans. It was stated the Republicans looked upon the presence of Unionists at the Dublin conference as representation of the ~Unionists from north Ireland and that the ab- sence of Sir James barred him from participation in discussions involving the relations of England and Ireland. Sir James was to be considered, it was said, only in matters which con- cerned internal politics.
