indebted for various courtesies between 4 and 5 great clouds of dust obscured the carnival buildings and some of the decorations were destroyed or injured the mammoth canvas roof of the carnival palace was among the first of the objects to succumb to the fury of the air it being displaced bodily and his h is not been restored this however I 1 is considered a great benefit anti ami will of itself contribute largely to the comfort of those in attendance with the structure crowded and that close canopy over them the prostrations prost rations must have been numerous and the suffering from heat and insufficient air would have been general so the rest of the entertainments tain ments in that place will go on except for the high walls in the open air rhe fhe concert and ball in the palace was largely attended and seemed to give general satisfaction As early as 8 this morning the sidewalks were thronged thron ged the crowds i increasing n creasi dg as ti time me ad advanced danced and all moving towards the central point the union depot at any time after that to get back to the upper part of town unless one took the streets for it was well nigh out of the question and even the streets were so full of horses and vehicles that moving around in them was a performance attended with a good deal of discomfort not notto to say danger at the depot a huge mass of hu inanity a was gathered every minute saw the crowd augmented by hundreds and at 9 the time announced as the arrival of the royal party there must have been no less than people there and in the vicinity and still they kept coming the sidewalks discharging one great swarm only to receive another and it looked finally as if every portion of the city must be well nigh exhausted the announcement made at this time that the train bearing the distinguished visitors was an hour and a half late did not curtail the throng much nearly all of whom preferred keeping their places and waiting and wearying and sweating it out A motley throng it wacel wa many in carnival attire blending with the others heightened the effect considerably but by the majority e ejects acts were unnoticed adlof course had their thoughts bent upon those who were coming not those who were there already several binds of music playing choice selections near by anti and in the distance relieved the sweltering monotony somewhat and enabled the crowd to end endure ure their experience with greater fortitude the crowd was constantly augmented until there were perhaps people surging about the depot the beat increased and the of the situation became awful all eyes were be benej down the track in hopes of behold ing the beginning of the end of tn tb misery an hour passed f lowly eflowly away then thell almost aijo another ther 1 at about 1045 the firing bring of 9 cannon indicated that the royal train was waa approaching this WAO wa followed by the welcome whisty whis tJ and in a few seconds more the bueb desired pulled slowly ip in i the engine had two large braw images on the pilot but otherwise 1 there was little in the way of osten osteal tation the crowd immediately swarmed i about the cars making it all but impossible to see anything their curiosity was but poorly rewarded dedi for with the exception of occasional glimpses through the windows window of the appearance of the louisiana rifles and a tew few gaudily attired persons nothing beyond common i appeared the crowd soon forsook the side of the depot nearest tbt tb track and congregated around the canopied cano pied platform on the east side where the principals of the party were to appear governor thomas and mayor kiesel were already there awaiting the coming guests in the meantime a huge hoarse whistle at the depot turned loose and blew con for several minutes punctured occasionally with cannon shots the noise was deafening and confusing A horse attached to a delivery wagon was left unhitched it became frightened and dashed madly through the crowd crea creating tiri a panic it was not stopped it reached a fence beyond one on woman is reported run over and injured it is is marvelous that a 9 score or more were not killed outright at
