Fair and Carnival next month, ar
rived in the city yesterday and will
remain here in the interest of the Fair
until it is formally opened, . October
14th.', -V- " ; 'i.:-
Mr, Huffman is thoroughly convert
sant with every detail of fair promo
tion and promises the people of this
section great things in the gala week
being arranged. He - has established
headquarters at Gerken's and would
be glad to entertain any proposition
looking to the welfare of the attrac
tion. He says the shows that will be
brought to Wilmington by his com
pany are all first class and will draw
the crowds for miles around.
, The Traiaed Animal Sbow.
"The big feature and principal
attraction In the amusement line,"
ays Mr. Huffman, "is , the colossal
collection of : trained wild animals
presented, exhibited and trained in
mammoth fifty-foot, steel arena under
the personal direction of Col. Ferari.
This-particular exhibition was before
the inauguration of street fairs in
America, the recognized amusement
institution of England, where for
forty years it sustained it's established
reputation for - exhibiting the largest
and costliest collection oCtrained wild
animals in the world. Since its ar
rival in this-country it has more than
doubled its former size. Its costly
massive exterior is. in itself worth
travelling a hundred miles to see, for
nothing like it ir on either side of
the Atlantic ocean can compare
with it v for its perfect beauty.
This magnificent front and entrance
cost alone $50,000, built of solid oak
and embelished by the master carvers
of ihe world. Five hundred French
plate mirrors of unique design are ex
travagantly enlaid over the entire
vast exterior, which measures 100 feet
in length and 25'feet in height, sur
mounted by domes of great value and
stPactural beauty. Occupying the
eente Arf the trreat diuble entrance is
a mammoth Parisian orchestrion that
cost to import from the Paris Exposi
tion $10,000. ' This equals In volume
and tone forty perfect performers.
This magnificent musical invention,,
together with the entire exterior, are
at night time a blaze of light and
rWT Hundreds of beautiful col
ored incandescent lights add richness
nA lnotA tn the scene, and the fairy
tale of Aladden's lamp is almost veri
fied in actuality." ' ' V
"Then comes its startling and sensa
tional exhibition of human daring and
wild animal training. In the center
there is erected a mammoth fifty foot
steel arena, the animals are trans
ferred from some of the smaller trav
elling dens into the great enclosure
and while therein turned loose with
no confining bara to impede their
movements, a daring trainer enters
and puts them through the most re
markable performance ever witnessed.
The most prominent among the great
est trainers to-day appearing before
the public is Princess Delaware, tne ia
mous lady animal educator, who was
fAmllii th neatest European fea-
ture of the Hagenback shows in Ham
Wit Oermanv. After many momm
of tireless training that runs into
years, she has succeeded in breaking

son and Maunder; absent Messrs Bai
ley, 8pencer and Parker. ; ;
The :meeting ' was called! primarily
for the authorization of new bids for
the Princess street paving, but a nUnt
ber of other matters came in "oa the
side" and the session lasted about two.
hours. ; - - S:kr:'--V--- !'"
.. Mayor. Waddell read a communica
tion from the Board of Audit aud Fi-
nance informing the Aldermen offici
ally of the action of that Bord on
the afternoon ' previous and supple
mented the reading of ' the letter by
explaining the circumstances of the
failure of the Board of Audit and Fi
nance to approve the bid of The Coal,
Cement and Supply Co.
Upon motion of Mr. West and sec
ond by Mr. Maunder, the Mayor was
authorized to advertise for new bids
but the question of the length of time
to be allowed bidders was raised- and
Messrs. Roger Moore and J. T. Riley,
who were present, asked for 10 days.
This concession was granted.
- Judge E. K. Bryan,' who had a con
tract prior to 1898 with the city for the
collection of back taxes, was present
at the meeting and submitted the fol
lowing letter, looking to the arbitration
of certain differences between the mu
nicipality and himself relative to about
$800 in controversy, the amount now
being in his hands:
s ' a
' gentlemen : a. suit nas Deen in
stituted in the Superior Court of this
county against me by the City of Wil
mington to recover a certain amount
of money alleged to be held by me
which it is claimed belongs to the
city- This suit grows out of Jhe col
lection of . back taxes due the city
which was collected by me and my as
sociates under a contract made v with
the City Attorney under tne Act 01
1RQS .- - "
I have endeavored time and time
again to get to a settlement of this
matter, but have been unable to do so.
When Mr. C. W. Worth was on the
Board of Aldermen, he as a member
of that Board came to see me and ask
ed if I was willing to meet la commit
tee from that Board and take up the
matter with them and give them my
contentions, and to this inquiry I re
plied that I would gladly do so; that I
would not only be glad to give them
my contentions, but would.; go over
the matter with them, , and 11, alter
hearing my aide they thought I should
yeild to tnem, ana surrenaer my cimm,
that I would do that I do not see
how I could have made a more liberal
proposition. -- '
This proposition was never acted on
by the Board of Aldermen or a com
mittee from that Board. The matter
stood this way for some time and see
ing that the Board of Aldermen were
not going to act I then asked Mr.
Meares,' the then City Attorney, to
bring suit so that our respective rights
might be tested in the courts, but this
request was not granted. The city
has now brought suit against me and
our rights can be determined therein;
but being anxious for a speedy deter
mination of this matter I have decid
ed to submit to you the following
proposition: - y 'L 7
I am willing to leave this matter to
the following named gentlemen as
arbitrators, to wit Hon. A. M. Wad
dell, Messrs. E. S. Martin and Junius
Davis, they to go over the entire mat
ter and take the contentions of each
party and pass upon the same and
Lb. thAii. award in writine to ' the
Superior Court In the event of a dis
agreement among the arbitrators the
award of any two of them to be final
and if they are of the opinion that the
city is entitled to a judgmentthey
shall so state the. amount nd the
. h.11 anifi. nn inrtornant accord-
ingly, if they are of the opinion that I
am entitled to a judgment against the
city they shall so state anu .uujcuuou.
shall be entered up in my favor. They
are to pass upon all of our respective
rights and recommend to the court
the judgment to be entered up by it
No appeal is to be taken by either side
from the report of the arbitrators. If
they give judgment against me I am
to pay the same within five days from
the ad journment of the court which
nn thm nn dement and if." tne
i j j oooin.t that eitv thev are
to pay the same within thirty - days
from the adjournment of - the court
which enters up the judgment - You
will notice that I have selected the
head of the city government as one of
the arbitrators while the other two are
tn no way connected with me and
have no interest in this controversy
and all gentlemen of character Tand
ability and will act impartially. ;
- The losing party is to pay all1 the
i- t tha m infllndinir the fee to
the arbitrators. I think it but just
that the Mayor should serve without
compensation as he is a city official,
but I am willing to leave that matter
entirely with him. -;- ' 7 7
This proposition 1 to, be accented
within twenty days torn i this date.
You will perhaps notice that all the
arbitrators are lawyers. The reason
for this is because tne sui
indre questions of law wan issues 01

men to the fact that under contract
with the Clarendon Waterworks Co.,
the lavlnflr of water pipes in, the Fifth
ward would have to be done under the
supervision of Maj. W. F. Robertson,
the water works engineer, instead of
the city engineer, as called for in the
contract with Messrs. McLean' & Ga.
the. successful "bidders for the work.
Mayor Waddell called attention to the
fact that Maj Robertson himself was
a bidder for the work and he would
hardly insist on supervising the work
of a rival bidder. No action was taken
relative to the matter, the Mayor stat
ing that the communication was read
for the information' of the : Aldermen.
The chairman of the Public Building
Committee was authorized to ; repair
the gauge at the City Hall for the test
ing of the water pressure during fires.
Mr. Mann made an off-hand motion
that the Water Works Company be
forced to furnish potable water, but no
action was taken. .
City Attorney Bellamy reported the
collection of $476.54 in back taxes
during the past month, anda total
since July 26th of $1,635.03.' He also
enumerated the suits recently. insti
tuted against the city and asked to be
authorized to employ associate coun
sel in that of J. W. Monk vs. City,
involving about $11J)00 in the title to
the city rock quarry. It was ex
plained that Mr. W. Al Wright was
on his personal bond to indemnify
the city against. any loss in this re
spect. Mr. Johnson asked that Mr.
Eugene S. Martin be, employed; others
said it was customary to leave the
choosing of associates with the attor
nev himself. A motion prevailed
leavine it to the Finance Committee,
composed of the Mayor, Messrs. West
and Bailey. :
'"The salary of 'Melvin Dent messen
ger to the Mayor, who it was ex
plained performed many necessary
duties not strictly in his province,
was increased from $20 to $30 per
month upon motion of Mr. Mann,
and a committee, consisting. of Messrs.
Mann, Skinner and Harriss, was ap
pointed to uree its approval before
