Pythian Carnival Last Week Netted Something Over Two Thousand Dollars. THE OFFICIAL FIGURES. Shows That Savored More Largely of Morality Were Better Patronized. Sale oi Confetti and Returns Prom the Voting Contest. To use a slang expression the Knights of Pythias of the city are just $3,016.43 to the good as the result or the Carnival and Merchants' Fall Festival held in Wilmington last week. That much, too, with the last three daya of the fair a dismal failure so far as the weather was concerned. It is confidently said that if all the con d itions had remained, far" M "p -to The end of the week the fair would have netted twice that amount A meeting of the Pythian Carnival Executive Committee and the chair men of all sub-committees was held last night in Castle Hall, oyer tne Murchison National Bank. Chairman Fishblate presided and Mr. L. B. Rog ers kept a record of tha proceedings as secretary. Of course the most important report was from Mr. H. E. Bonitz, chairman of the Finance Committee. He pre sented a detailed and very comprehen sive statement of all the receipts and disbursements, showing the net profit to the three lodges which gave the' fair, as indicated above. The various shows of the Layton Carnival Company took in during the week $4,818.45, and of this amount the Pythiana received 20 per cent, or $964.56. This, with revenue from other sources, is embodied in the fol lowing statement of gross and net re ceipts from all sources: From paid attractions $ 964.56 8a!e of confetti 577.21 Privileges 123.00 Subscriptions 918.00 Country Store 214.30 C. R., L. & P. Co. 49.54 Voting for Queen 584.86 Incidentals 24.62 Subscriptions (collectable) 90.00 Total $3,546.09 Disbursements 1,529.61 Net profit $2,016.48 An idea of the crowds on the streets during the various stages of the fair may be gained from the following statement of the receipts at the four teen paid shows each day: Monday $ 641.65 Tuesday 1,014 95 Wednesday 1,163.35 Thursday J 1,19125 Friday 420.95 Saturday 435 25 Total $4,867.40 An idea of the hilarity of the crowds may be gauged by the sale of confetti. Monday night $80 worth of the tanta lizing material was disposed of; Tues day, $115; Wednesday, $117; Thurs day, $183; Friday and Saturday, $10 The attendance shows that the strictly moral attractions were best patronized. The moving picture exhibition of Mc- Kinley'a assassination, the eruption of Mont Pelee, etc., on "Solomon's Cor ner," led in the receipts during the week, $659.65; the "hobby horses" at Second and Market, came next with $609.10; Col. Hall's Zoo, at Front and Market next with $575; Osay, the anake eater,' at Front and Market, next with $570; Gay Paris, Market between Front and Second, next with $482; StreeU of India, at Front and Market next with $459.60. "The Girl from Up There," at Front and Prin ceat, did a land office business for the first two days, but later when the per formance waa cut by the Carnival management, receipta dropped off in auch an alarming manner that the week'a business only amounted to $309.30. The "Wild Man from Ala bama" next caught the crowds for $282.50 during the week, while the "Old Plantation" at Second and Mar ket had to be content with $277.30. The remainder of the attractions were poorly patronized, due largely to their location. The figures during the week were as follows: Stereopticon and moving Pictures, Front and Chesnut $158.70; Statue Turning to Life, Front and Chesnut, $146.20; Motor Cycle, Front and Dock, $77.25; Cycle Whirl, Market near Second, $43.70. The Fer ria Wheel ground out $167.60 during the week, making a grand total of $4,818.45 for all the attractions during the six days. Of that amount paid out to the Lay ton Carnival Company, less than $1,000 went out of the city. The Pythians received in round numbers $1,000; the company brought to the city 122 men, who left at least $1,000 here for board and lodging; lumber and labor cost the company $400; lighta $50; railroad transportation $400; pay roll for regular employes $400, and incidentals footing up to a good sum. In the light of those fignres all will concede that so far as taking money out of the town a week's car nival is far less disastrous than one big circus for one single day. The meeting of the committee last night was well attended and harmoni ous iu every respect. Chairman Fish blate thanked his co laborers in the warmest terms, and the committee as a whole returned t-anka to all who had been instrumental in contributing to the great auccess of the fair. The press was tendered an espe cial reaolution of thanks for cour tesies shown. All billa against the Carnival are desired to be presented at once to Treasurer U. E. Bonitz for PTheeSroceeda of the Carnival were ordered divided equally between Btonewall, Clarendon and Jefferson lodges and a large part of the same will be used in furnlahing and equip ping their handsome new- hall over the Murchison bank building.

It's as smothering as a horse blanket,' as gummy as molasses and as omni present as the English sparrow." Real Estate Transfers. Bv deeds filed for record yesterday D. L.
