THE STREET CARNIVAL
OPENS IN THIS CITY
Ihe street carnival, which is in Ashe-
vilie for the week will be in full blast
today. Yesterday it established itself
on the public square, and monop
olized the attention of some nundred
persons. The work of placing the tents,
Ferris' wheel, diving ttower, ietc., began
early in the day, and by noon the pub-
isnuare rwast ias lit never was before
The oldest inbabiltant could not for the

of the carnival b&ows cover half the

Ferris wJheel rises in its graceful net
work of iron where the old electric
tower stood facing Patton aJvemue. In
frame of a kite, is the high, tower from
which a diver makes his plunge into a

of the carnival men, told of the 'great
ness of the feat to be perfoiroed' and
adviertised it for thfe comtog exhibi
tions. Then. the pink athlete, loosing
has Bilken belt so that its ends waved in
the breezes, raised; ihirs (hand Cor silence
and de&vered - a speedh to he crowd.
To many not the least daring part of
this performance was his nerve to talk
calmly (but vigorously) on that dizzy
pinacle; on a p'atform tout littfe bigger
than his feet. He challenged critLsms
of the carnival, offering J1.000 reward
to any one who wouM find an imctnOrail
feature connected witlh it. There he
waved for silence, clatter of voices,
business and street car bells ceased
and he took the dive a flash of pink
through, the air straight as a cannon
ball, a splash in the tank at the foot cf
thfe scaffolding and the dTipping diver
was clamiboring over the wave washed
edge of (the tank. It was certainly a
splendid feat, gracefuJly performed a
free show, worth a good price of taidmis
sion to those who admire a nervy act.
Last night the scene an the square
was a gay one miarred only by the fail
ure of the city incandescent lights at
nine o'clock. JThe Ferris wheel was
