All the expenses connected with the carnival were assumed by the Hargrave carnival management with the exception of the band mu sic, one ticket seller and a checker. The Star's share of cost of the band was $90, and the other ex penses amounted to $25, altogether $125. Suit was brought Saturday after noon by William H. Beachy against Harry H. Hargrave, manager of the carnival, alleging that he ts Har- grave's partner, and demanding an | accounting of the carnival money. This suit did not affect The Star smoke fund, and is merely a private action between Hargrave and Beachy. The Star smoke fund has jalready received its money Last week was a big one for The Star emoke fund In addition to the carnival money, the fund received 10 per cent of the |Ad Santel-Tarro Miyaka jiu-Jiteu match, at the Arena, Saturday night, amounting to $121.70.
