It is estimated that more than
1.700 people attended the carnival

the committee plans to hold it the
first clear evening.

So far the sﬂair has been very
successful. Saturday all of the
booths and stands did a rushing
business. the ducking stool alone
taking in over two. This feature
of entertainment furnished a great
deal of fun to the spectators when
several well known Rowayton men
offered themselves as targets for a
dip. Weather permitting. this eve-
ning will see several ladies take
a high dive from the stool into the
tank.

The Franklin sedan automobile
Will be given away this evening.
The special free entertainment pian-
ned for this evening is to be a shoe
contest. .The contestants are to see
who is the fastest at removing and
replacing their shoes. Prizes will

be given to the winners.
