It Was a Token for Throwing Wide the Gates Various Shows and Where Located Programme, for To day Large Attendance. Under the most favorable auspices and with an augury of a week of great enjoyment for the people of Wilming ton and visitors, the Elks Carnival and Street Fair opened last evening at 7 o'clock with booming of cannon, screaming of steam whistles, ringing of bells and a flashing of electrics. ; The word was given' for the formal opening of the fair exactly at 7 o'clock when Governor Charles B. Aycock, in the Postal Telegraph-Cable Company's office in Raleigh, flashed this message across the wires in response to an in vitation sent him last week: "Raleigh, N. C, Oct 14th. Wilmington Lodge, No. 530, B. P. O. E., Wilmington, N. C. "It gives me pleasure as Chief Ex ecutive of the State to open the Wil mington Carnival under the auspices of the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks. Accept my congratulations and best wishes for its success. I now for mally declare the Carnival open. Charles B. Atcook, Governor." A multitude of people throneed the streets at the hour for opening and on the "midway" many friends met and exchanged cordial greetings. The weather was all that could be desired and the crowds lingered about the various multi-colored and ornamented booths until the hour of midnight. The Elks have accomplished a great thing for Wilmington and everywhere compliments were bestowed upon their industry and enterprise in arrang ing the event. The "show train" reached the city at 5 o'clock yesterday morning from. Richmond and consisted of sixteen cars and a sleeper. The magnitude and variety of the attractions was a surprise to many.- A whole day. was consumed in spreading canvas, ar ranging the booths, etc Even at that many of the shows last night were not in readiness for the opening but there was no complaint on the part of spec tators. It seemed to be the opinion of all that a visit to the Carnival was well worth the while even under the handicapped conditions. To day will naturally be a big one of the fair. The various free attrac tions will come off according to pro gramme, and many will be given that are not on the programme. A parade of the Wilmington paid fire depart ment will be a feature of this after noon exercises, and the trolley parade to-night at 8 o'clock promises to be an interesting feature. Hollowbush's brass band of twenty-two pieces ar rived yesterday and will give daily open air concerts. There are also sev eral excellent bands with the Bostock Company. The Shows and Where They Are,. There is plenty to amuse one a whole week at the Carnival. There are shows galore and all of them appear to be well pleasing to the multitudes that passed in and out last night. There are sixteen regular shows along with the Bostock-Ferari Company and there are many side linen the fortune- telling booths, the cane rocks, the bal loon stands, etc. and all of them ap pear to be well patronized. All the regular attractions are under the management of Col. Francis Fer ari The most captivating and one to which CoL Ferari gives his personal attention is the trained animal show at Front and Market streets. The ani mals were personally selected by Col. Ferari. Wallace, the untamable lion, performing lion, the wrestling kanga roo and other trained animal make a very interesting exhibit. Another very popular feature at Front and Market, on the east side, is the Crystal Maze. Up Market street as far as Second, is found Electra. Maid of .the Air, a steam propelled system of hobby horses that are proving very popular and the Streets of All Nations. The lat ter was a great favorite in Richmond and is proving so here. The Turkish dancing girls and other features of the show are attracting big crowds. Kabel E. Nelmy, the manager, was at one time an attache at the Turkish legation in Washington. Near this corner the High Diver has his tank of water of 86 inches in depth and will make free exhibitions of high diving during the fair. At Front and Princess streets on the west side lis the German Village where there are to be seen - alack' wire performers, Tyrolean performers and other vaudeville attractions. Across the street is Minnie, the Wild Girl. who has superhuman powers. She is known as the Australian bushgirL She is between 35 and 40 years of age and has been exhibited for 17 years. On this corner troupes of Japanese and Hindoos will also perform wonder feats. . In front of the Postoffice, on Front street. Is the Ferris wheel propelled by a gasoline engine. South of this at traction is the Elks' Country Store, 1 local feature, managed by Mr. James H. Cowan, assisted by. Mr. J. W. Bloome. A-committee of Elks is also present to administer to the wants o the multitude. I-' v r At the eastern intersection of Fron and Chesnut streets is the Moorish Palace, which is one of the twenty five cent attractions and a popular one, too. The fire dance, -the Cham eleon lady in poses plastique, the vivified statue are very interesting. Opposite the Moorish Palace Is the London Dog and Monkey Circus. This a-: I j$! I' ' ' I A'.

Mrs. Murphy, the monkey balloonist, is the star of the Show. Near Front and Grace, on the west side of Front street are Major Aguin aldo, the tiny Filipino, and the small est horse in the world. The horse weighs only 28 pounds and is 24 inches high . At the eastern intersection of Grace and Front streets is "A Trip to the Moon" in which are presented some at tractive living pictures. Further up Front street, on the west side, the Norweigan barrel-jumpers, contortion ists and others do a free performance. At Front and Dock streets Edison's moving pictures are up-to-date ana never fail to please the crowds. Across the street is Osco, who "eats 'em alive," and inspires the stentorian voice of the barker. Bosco is dead, but Osco is still with us. There are many free acts. The bal- oon ascension 01 Mrs. f urpnv ana her parachute leap; Horikoslu's band of Japanese acrobats; Mdlle. Kotony in her thrilling, aerial act on a tele graph pole; the Norwegian barrel- jumpers, and the contortionists will please the multitude. - The most sensa tional of the free shows is the act of Grant, who rides a bicycle across a live wire. This is a very spectacular feat at night, and the electrical effects are startling and beautiful. Visitors to the Carnival will find no lack of good shows, and the ticket sellers were kept very busy last night. Managing Director Ferari has a valua ble corps of colleagues in V. D. Leavitt, business manager; B.H. Patrick, secre tary and treasurer, and H B. Potter, general agent. They are untiring in their efforts to keep all the shows up to such a standard that general satisfac tion and pleasure will be experienced by the big crowds that witness these attractions. Some of the Trades' Displays. Commendable enterprise has been shown by many merchants, in the erection of booths and in window and store decorations for the Carnival. Beginning on North Front street Mr. J. G.

Chief Furlong and individual members of the police force are putting forth extraordinary efforts to maintain the best of order during the week, and the way the crowds were handled last night is evidence of their skill in this direction.

To-night at the Opera House the MacLean-Tyler Company will appear and. will, no doubt, be greeted by a arge audience. These two stars have determined this season to test whether the public does not enjoy, and fully appreciate, plays of undoubted worth and merit when properly mounted and presented. In other words, they have decided te give authors whose names have become classic an even chance with some'of the more modern school of novelists and. story writers, whose wotks have been "adapted" for the stage. ' v It is admitted that much of this lat ter day dramatic fare would not be ac cepted without lavish outlays for stage settings, etc. Therefore, lr. MacLean and Miss Tyler think Shakespeare and Sheridan are worthy of equal elabor ate appointments. The production of the School for Scandal is not only a magnificent example of scenic arts. but historically correct in matters df detail, and an excellent company will present the play. Seats are now on sale at Gerken's. Reqnest to Merchants. In order to allow them to participate in the military parade for the carnival on Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock, merchants and other employers of members of the Wilmington division, Naval Reserves, Wilmington Light Infantry and Colonel, Walker Tays lor's Boys' Brigade are earnestly re quested by the Elks to allow them a brief leave of absence until after the parade. It is to the interest of the people at Wilmington to make as cred itable a display as possible and for this reason it is hoped that each organiza tion .will enter with full ranks. Handsome Vest ibuled Coach. A .handsome-full vestibuled day coach or the Florida and West Indian Limited, New York to Tampa, will be turned out of the Atlantic Coast Line shops in this city in a day or two. The coach is the first of its class built and painted in -the shops here and is decidedly tfandsoma. It is fin ished in oak and mahogany and the decorative work, the creation of the A. C. L. paint shops in Wilmington, is a credit to that department if credit was ever deserved for any work. Few people, perhaps, appreciate that in the Wilmington shops some of the finest work in the country is done. ;, . - The Atlantic Coast Line has on sale round trip tickets to Buffalo, on ac count Pan-American Exposition, with transit limit of five days in each direc tion and final limit 20 davs. at rate of one fare plus $1.00.
