Cain, the friends of Haupt, who put it up, have demanded its return Tor several reasons. The church thereupon brought garnish ment proceedings in the city court for the purpose of securing the money and the amount is now held up pending the action of the court. To add to the confusion in the case of Mr. J. P. Williams, president of the Oglethorpe Building Company, Haupt’s employer, made a demand for SI,OOO of the amount.

It? will be seen, therefore, that there will be no lack of music of the very best kind. The committee on public comfort has made 'a thorough canvass of the city for the purpose of finding out just how many people can be accommodated at the pri vate houses and at the hotels. This com mittee will report finally next week, but It is expected that it will have ample ac commodation for everyone. The Venetian Revel feature of the Car nival is developing into the biggest feat ure of the whole thing, and the committee appointed for the purpose of making the rules and arrangements to govern this feature will go to work at once and the re sult of their deliberations will be ready to be announced in a few days. The committee to take charge of the Venetian Revel will consist of Messrs. Nat Winship, chairman; Burr Brown. Robert Hodges, John W. Byrne, J. R. Kennedy, W. C. Knobloch, Ben J. Smith, Charles J. Wilburn. . The Carnival is becoming widely adver tised. Every day letters are received in the city from all parts of the country ask ing for information about the city and the celebration and about the rates and other matters.

Governor Saddler, of Nevada, has sent President Waxelbaum the flag to represent his state in the parade. The flag is made of the finest silk and has the great seal of Nevada stamped on it in silver.

The public comfort committee has been busily ata work since last week and they have secured the names of many cople who will open their floors to the visitors. The Carnival Ball committee will hold a meeting this afternoon at the Chamber of Commerce and every member is earnestly requested to be present, as some important business will comp up. The price o adnrs sion to the Carnival Ball has air ady beeiv decided upon. The tickets will be sold for three dollars each and will admit a lady and a gentleman, but not two gentlemen. It is now almost a certainty that the University of Georgia and the Georgia School of Technology will meet here on Saturday after the Carnival. The teams will probably meet Saturday afternoon at the baseball park and it will be a game well worth seeing. Both schools have had teams on the field for a number of seasons and both are well known. The Athens boys always draw a crowd wherever they go, and this game will draw many people that would not otherwise came. The Georgia boys will probably come over on a special train and a large crowd of Athenians will come with them. The Techs will also draw a large crowd from Atlanta. The game is sure to bring people here, and if the college boys do come the city will be turned over to them and they will give the own a coat of cardinal in recogni tion of the colors of the occasion.
