Sr Loots Aug 25 The carnival
season has opened most auspiciously
pcared rational and seemea contented Over 75000 gas and electric lights were
lighted tonight for tho first time and
the city has on its gala attire The
illuminations are on the principal retail
and wholesale business streets and
extend over an aggregate length of
six miles square after square being
beautified by the myriads of many
colored globes and the scores of ele-
gant arches The plan of illumination
differs entirely from that of past years
being much more comprehensive and
magnificent The number of lights
has been about doubled and a much
more liberal use of electricitv as an
illuminating power has been made
There are arches of various designs at
the principal street intersections with
several electrical devices and set pieces
of striking appearance
Over the permanent statue of Gen
Grant there arc electrical representa-
tions of the stars and stnpcs and also
the old Spanish flag under which Co
lumbus sailed Close to the new city
hall is a representation of the Santa
Maria on the summit of an arch of
unique design while U e to the greats
