Because th# mte In* of merchants, that
had been called for the T>e Boto Hofei
last night to consider way# and means
of advancing th# .Merest# of the city in
connection with the Elk#' Carnival and
Htreet Fair, did not develop sufficient
numbers, it w.s decided to repeat it to
night.
Nevertheless, those who were present
expressed themselves very heartily In fa
vor of the project, appreciative of the ad
vantage * to he derived by the city from
the carnival and anxious to do everything
In their power to make the enterprise a
success of the most pronounced de# ri|-
tion. It wax only because a larger i*er
oentage of tn#* merchant# of the city was
not present, and not because of any In* k
of enthusiasm on toe |rt of those who
attended, that it was determined to hold
a record meet.tig t* night To secure n
full representation of ail business Inter
ests • this rme lng a special effort will
lie made to-day
The nvff ing wan railed to order bs' Mr
NiV. W Hfarr, of the Elk- Executive Com
miftee. who st e*l its purpose. Mr B arr
said that he regretted ex * e Singly that the
attendance was not larg r and that h"
was disk)|rpoinied that the merchants had
n*t shown themselves willing to jestlfy
by their mere presence and moral support
their sympathy with an enterprise tha
very one of them ought to approve.
Two objects, said Mr. Starr, animated
the Elks In the giving of the street fair.
One w *# the replenishment of their chari
ty fund, a fund that is distributed freely
and liberally to recoqnixed charities In
this and other cities, without dlsttn tlon to
reed. The Elka ask nothing for them
selves; their purpose is th** succor of the
needy and distressed.
The second object D the ad\ertisemenv
of the htwuties and commercial advant
ages of Havannah For five or six years,
said Mr. ftiarr. Bavannah has fade*) to
make an effort of this special kind to at
tract the attention of the state, and the
trade of the people of the section she
ought to control. Her rivals, on the con
trary are steadily and |* rsiatetntlv at
work, ami the necessity of effort to main
tain th# city # prestige I# evident to any
one who will consider the situation. Mr
Hlarr asked that Mr. I*. H. Levy tak*
the choir and when a motion to this ef
fect was put, it was carried without dis
sent.
Mr. Levy expressed his own regret at
• he six** of the meeting and explained that
he felt this to he due not to any la* k of
Interest in the enterprise on th" part of
th# merchants, but rather to the fact that
the necessity and propriety of their at
tendance had not been properly urged up
on them He felt confident, he said, that
were another meeting called and a full
and representative attendance urged, It
would te easily forthcoming Mr Sic Gard
ner. secretary of the Retail Merchants*
Association, added his assurance of his
fellow merchants’ response to that of Mr.
Levy, and his personal willingness to aid
'the project in any way in hi* i*ower.
Mr. flagßs D. Benson, dire**tor general
of the carnival, was called upon to explain
his plans. Mr. Henson said that the pur
pose of the earn val committee went far
beyond the m* r* giving of series f en
tertainments in the Park Extension. These
had been arranged for. and they were the
best of their kind. Th.it part of th* carni
val features was already assured; the in
terest ar.i co-o|*eration of the merchant#
was essential to th** wider projects the
committee entertained.
A queen of ihe carnival, with her at
tendant kHigots and ladies, a •oi m.iUoi
fvetie, made as beautiful as gay costume
and lights and flowers would per mb •
floral parade, a tracks display, night pa
geant#. Ilk* those of the Marili Gras, at

tainment* of the tike character were m-
Itided within the scope of the committee s
plan. To #ecur these did not lequlte th"
expendhure of any great amount of money
on the part of any idivldtiai. but did re

am<* line. Representatives of the news

At the suggestion of Mr Levy it was
determined that another meeting should
be held at the lie Hoto to-night To this
the buslr.es* men of the city arc extend
ed a cordial aid earnest invitation It Is
not the purpose of the committee to can

merchants ore asked to do Is to manifest
by their presence their interest tn lbs

to feel that. In Its effort to bring Sa
