MOOSE HAVE THOUSANDS ~ AT THEIR CARNIVAL. Parade to the Grounds on Opening Night—Johnny Jones Shows Display Many Features. That the Moose carnival which open- ed on Monday evening at the Battle grounds will be a decided success and Wwill surpass all expectations of the committee in charge was very evident on the opening ., as it was esti- mated that several thousands of people were on the grounds. The carnival shows are given by the Johnny Jones Bxposition company under the au- spices of Rose of New England lodge, No, 950, L. O. O. M., recently instituted in this city, and the proceeds are to be ’mudd‘u a start for the Moose building ung Monday &vening about 7.15_o'clock the Moose parade formed on Franklin Square and headed by the Jobuny Jones band, numbering about 15 pieces, marched up Franklin street, through several of the principal city thorough- fares and thence to the Battle grounds. Immediately following the band was J. P. Bouvier, the Moose organizer. Next came a line of six or eight automo- biles, in one of which was seated Mayor Timothy C. Murphy and Joseph George, with city officials in the oth- ers. On either side of the automo- biles were lines of Moose members, ‘who numbered about 50. Good Wishes from Mayor Murphy. Upon reaching the Battle grounds, Mayor Murphy made a short address in which he extended hearty wishes for a successful week. On the carni- val grounds are 20 or 23 attractions, including animal shows, snake charm- ers, strong men, wrestiers, merry-go- round, Ferris wh a flea circus and , not excepting the usual dy tables and ice cream tents. ne of the principal features is the menageries and tarined animal arena. This show is in charge of Captain Curley Wilson ,who passed some ycars hunting and ecapturing these animals in their native countries. The animals have been carefully trained by Charles Hustin, and the act is in truth a mar- velous one. Other attractions include That Girl Minnie, a snake charmer, A Trip to Mars, Ten Shows in One, Jolly Alma, who is but 19 years of age and tips the scales at 697 pounds, and Princess Zalda, 26 years old and who weighs but 43 pound: ‘The flea eircus forma the center of an interesting au- dience. Fleas harnessed to miniature carts, wagons and canno exhibit their great strength, and one group of fleas dressed in costume are seen in fancy dancing acts. The Midget, the strongest little man of the world, gives an exhibition of ?hcnnmcn.l strength, and the world of livi; ‘wonders, mon- keys, rabbits and ohemian glass blowers never fail to attract the chil- dren. There were also free concerts by_Vitucei's Royal Italian band. Dixieland as another feature, a real negro minstrel act, with new songs and up-to-the-minute jokes. Popularity Contest. The electrical effect is especlally beautiful and from Preston bridge at night the scene resembles Coney Isl- and. Nearly 10,000 electric light bulbs are strlung fantastically along the tops of the tents, the Ferris wheel and the merry-go-round. The popularity con- test for the handsome $210 diamond ring opened on Monday and the first count gives Miss Hazel Howard 120, ‘Miss Gladys Meier 76, Miss Grace Kel- sey 62, Miss Ma-Belle Hopkins 60, Miss Mae Kelly 39 and Miss Eva Al lard 27 votes.

All efforts of American and French stockholders, owners of coal mines conflscated a month ago. to recover their property, have failed. Carranza previously had agreed to protect the property if proof of foreign ownership could be established. before Secretary of Hacienda E. F. Villareal. Owners of the Rio Escondido mine presented proof which they claimed showed that eighty per cent. of the stock was owned by Americans and Frenchmen and that an American holds title to the sub-soll. The constitutionalists then made a proposition that the American man- agers be allowed to operate the mines under the djrection of an “inventor” without specifying remuneration. The managers refused this propesition and again appealed to the state depart- ment. The constitutionalists continue selling coal from the mine. OLD ARCTIC EXPLORERS RECOUNT EXPERIENCES.
