Among the attractions of ti}8 Caj-pi va', which seemed to appeal most strongly to the rising generation, was that of the raerry^go-round, owned by Mr. J. F. Fredericks of St. Paul. Gen erally speaking, the merry-go-round proves a good deal of a nuisance, but in th*s case, and under control of Mr. Fredricks, it was a merry-go-round-of plcasure. We are pleased to thus com mand Mr. Fredericks, who has made a good amusement for the people. LOUP CITY’S CARNIVAL. The Carnival just concluded iti oui city will go down in history as one ol its brightest and happiest pages. The opportunity is seldom afforded to tak*1 part in a more enjoyable event than the one just closed For three full daysand nights our streets were thronged with merry-makers Every afternoon all business houses were closed and men women and children hied themselves away to the fair grounds just on the south edge of town, and as one passed off the streets toward the race track, he moved among a halo of flags and bunt ing. Thousands of yards of gaily col ored decorations lined the streets in every direction, l'oles and columns had been erected only to be burdened with flags, lanterns and decorations Words of welcome were suspended to attract the eye of the visitor. Refresh ment stands loaded with fruits, etc were met on every corner. The pro verbial cane rack was abundantly in evidence. The shooting gallery, with its mechanical orchestra was surround ed by eager crowds waiting to take a shot at the galloping menagerie. A mammoth Merry-go-Round, with its melodious pipe organ, caught the fancy of the younger yeople, and the rag baby and kindred attractions were also well patronized. fcoon at ter noon ttie vast crowd was transferred almost as by magic to the fair grounds. On both sides of the race track, in the in field and about the judg es’ stand, hundreds of people of all classes gathered to tee the racers. Yes, and they saw them, too. The lithe, beautiful thoroughbred birds cavorted about the starting place, too anxious to be off, their slender legs looking like polished bars of steel, und their veins standing out like whip cords. “Steady! do back again!” said Starter Moore, in tones dignified but commanding. And hack again they went until the word “(Jo!’’ was finally given. The earth trembled beneath their long, terrible i strides. They looked like ghosts pur suing the tleeting wind. Up the back l stretch they go around the upper turn, and are headed into the stretch for home, livery rider’s face is pale with excitement. Out flies the stinging lash, and the hoof beats come harder and harder. The white fo>»m flies from the wet sides and they are past you, Little May, Jimmie Hicks and Sundance. It was a race fit for a king, and the eager throng testifies to it by the acclaim of hundreds of voices. And so for the i three afternoons race followed race in rapid succession.. Looking up in the judges’ stand we saw Adam C'onhiser of Sargent. Ed Munn of Hazard and Ed Miner of Ravenna. These gentlemen, together with Starter Moore, managed the races to the entire satisfaction of every one. We must qualify that state ment a few lin**s farther on. We want to say that every race was a genuine contest of speed. The fastest horse got the money. Through the entire meet ! there was but one little case of the rid j er’s arms being over strong. In that i case the judges ordered the horse taken > to the stable. He was a magnificent ! animal and should he in better hands. Prof. Rice gave some of the most sue eessful balloon ascensions that it has ever been our good fortune to witness. Mr. Frolich, the high diver, leaping from a hundred foot ladder into a net at the bottom, was a feat challenging admiration. Tlue base ball, trap shoot ing and tennis contests and tire races in detail have special mention elsewhere Space forbids giving but partial de tails of principal events, and but little mention of minor affairs. “Ob! Iam coming again, next year,” was an expression heard on every hand from the best dressed ana best behaved throngs of people ever in Loup City, The gambler and the tough were not present. We heard nothing but praise; not a complaint nor an uglv word reached our ears in the three days. Loud Oitv will speed the day when as happy and jolly a throng ot Nebraska’s best people shall again come as her visitors on any occasion. Thp Racing. The lovers of good racing and the at tending excitement thereto, surelv had their full quota of it all Although the track was slow on account of the re cent rains, and the speed necessaiily lessened, yet the competition was such as to lend extra enthusiasm to the races. Our report of this department pf the Carnival interest has of necessity been teken from the secretary's books, there having been no courtesies extended to the press to enable them to witness the races “Johnny-on-the spot” and they were obliged to take a bird’s-eye view of the same, like other “keep-away-from th( •judges’-stand” mortals, and were thus deprived of writing the races from a personal touch with the autocrats of the races. However, the press is as sured that hereafter ample accommoda tions will be prepared for local and vis iting reporters, that the races may be reported from the press, and no ‘‘hand’ me-down$” vwill go. Following will hft found the official record of the races as reported py the secretary, speed not given us: THURSDAY, AUGUST 4. Quarter mile dash—Harvey’s Miss Dewey first, Doty’s Jimmie Hicks sec ond, Cramer’s Senator third. Half mile and repeat—Weston’s Jun ■I gle first, Doty's Sundance second, Cra mer’s Teddy third.

Quarter mile dash—Doty's Jimmie Hicks first, Rhodes' Evaline second, Harvey’s Miss Dewey third. The Trap Shooting. Fo'lowing is the score made by the shooters at the trap tournament held here during the harvest carnival last week. Shooters were in attendance from Arcadia, Ord, Broken Bow, Kear ney, Arcadia Rockville, Grand Island and South Omaha and a general good time was had.

Considering the sm ill amount of ; practice the boys have had the scores j made were good The score was ably and efficiently j kept bv Doctor Allen, of this city, to whom all the shooters extend thanks, as the position of score-keeper Is an en viable one. Some of the home boys had never shot back of the 10 yd mark and h ad 9 'Die difficulty hitting the targets in the handicap event. Campbell did some good work at the traps and won high average. The handicap on Reed and John O’Bryan w as too severe which accounts for their low score in the handicap ev/ent. They should have been on the 10 yd. mark. Frink Grow won theclqh metjal last week by hi Baking 21 out of the last 23 in the handicap. The last 25 targets were to he for the medal and was only contested for by the club members. P. O. Reed won the hunting coat on Thursday by a score of 51 out of a pos sible 55 targets, being the highest aver age of the three events. G. J. Campbell of Broken Bow won the cleaning rod and hand protector, on Friday and Saturday shoots, h iving the best averages. Base Ball at Carnival. There were many base ball enthus iasm at the carnival and the three games played were witnessed by large crowds. The first and third games were not overly interesting, but the game on the second day. between the Ord and Grand Island nines, was exciting: Following we give the score: TIJUKSQAY’S QAM K: Grand Island* •• 08002460 l—1ft Loup.City.1 0 ft 0 2 0 1 Q 0— 4 Batteries;—G.
