18 TJBHiSTJNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND. OCTOBER 6, 1901. FAIR A GREAT ' SUCCESS !al5r bring here GSe Benton Counly FIFTEEN THOUSAND PEOPLE AT CARNIVAL YES1T3RDAY. Great Crush, of Picasure-Seelters Filled the Exposition. Building: Kew Attractions Coming. Last night occurred the crowning suc cess of the Carnival. It was the Saturday night crush. There were 15,000 people thronging the great "building. These are the figures given out by Xi. D. Cole, General Summers and other members of the Carnival committee, who have had experience in handling big crowds at former expositions. Both wings of the big building were filled, the Music Hall was crowded, all the galleries were filled, and all the seats bordering Multnomah Field were packed. "Without tne field the committee could not have handled such a crowd, for the great Exposition building, the largest in the Northwest, would not have held the peo ple present Record-Breaking Night. It was a night that broke the Tecord for attendance, and all the attractions were enjoyable. The Alpine warblers were at their best, and were recalled, and the Lundgreens also aroused enthusiasm by J their pleasing turn. Their revolving lad der act' thrilled the spectators with its daring dexterity, and was a skillful blend ing that caused both mirth and admira tion. Both bands acquitted themselves with credit last night, and everybody had a good word to say for the music The spe cial feature was a cornet? solo by Signor Arriola, from the opera of "Arblne." An other "fine feature was the duet by Messrs. Oschle and Smith. The Carnival committeemen feel justly proud of last night's attendance, and of the success of the fair, and are busy studying up new attractions to offer. The executive committee -will hold a meeting at U o'clock this morning to consider pressing business. Members of the gen eral committee are also requested to at tend. The" attractions for the coming week are to-be better than ever. Crowds of Children. The turn-out of children at the Carnival yesterday afternoon was one of the larg est ever seen in Portland. Happy chil dren, with no troubles of their own, swarmed everywhere and seemed delight ed with what they saw. They explored the great Exposition building from, end to end, upstairs and down, and few of the wonders escaped their observation and comment Not only in the Exposition building did the children enjoy themselves, but on the Multnomah Field adjoining they found hplrited scenes arranged for their edifica tion. The pony show matinee was a most enjoyable feature for the children. Other children, both boys and girls, dashed over the field at full speed,, ran races and jumped hurdles, and Madame Austin and the cowboys gave spirited exhibitions of daring horsemanship. It was truly a children's afternoon, and no. dissatisfied ones could be discovered. Hot-Air Surprise.

He had the arc lights in the machinery hall shut off at 8 o'clock, and for 10 minutes the hot-air fountain shone rcsplendently. The dry water that the fountain throws up was tinted with At a meeting of the committee to be held the coming week the situation will bp thoroughly canvassed and reports made on the subscriptions already received. Rev. T. L. Eliot said last night that all the rays of the rainbow, and alternated I the work of cataloguing the books In colors in rapid succession.

Presents from, the business men are rapidly rolling in, and the couples who are married at the Carnival public wedding will have more than enough useful articles given them to start them along in housekeeping. Xovello a "Wonder. The new star on the Carnival stage, No vello, is a wonder of the contortionist world. The twists and turns he makes and the uses he makes of his apparently boneless limbs are simply marvellous. He puts himself through two hoops while Holding It Is not surprising that he Is applauded to the echo secured, and plans will be selected for alterations to the premises occupied by the library. In order to utilize all avail able space. i PERSONAL MENTION. Mrs. R. C. Templeton has returned from San Francisco, where she has been spending the Summer. B. B.

Ponnay, who left Portland near ly two years ago to accept a position esting yet presented. The scarlet riding jackets of the women, the smart dress ot the men, and, above all, the prancing, spirited thoroughbreds, made a pretty pic ture that will not easily be forgotten. The best horses in the city were among the entries, 'and the grandstand spectators soon picked their favorites and cheered them repeatedly. Between the fixed events, Mrs. Minnie Austin repeated her tandem hurdling act, and Hermann made his marvelous and perilous ride. Both of these performances have become prime favorites with Carnival visitors. The committee in whos6 hands was en trusted the success or failure of the first horse show has scored an overwhelming success.

In the class for best saddle horse ridden by a man there were 10 en tries. The horses, were put through their different paces and presented a dellght ful spectacle as they were sent speeding around the track. Captain James Nicol's Dexter won first honora, and C. L.

The Portland Woolen Mill at Sellwood is being completed, and it la expectel that it will be in operation by the first of the year. A considerable force of men Is employed completing the plant. The building, 170x120, is finished, and the ma chinery is being placed under the gen eral direction of1 Superintendent Charles Carter. The Inside of the big building is almost as light as on the outside; from the roof light comes from the saw-tooth skylights, and there are many windows along the sides. The walls have been -whitewashed. Scattered about the floor are the machines, which are rapidly be ing placed in position. In the engine room the boilers and engines will soon be set up in place. Although the motive power of the woolen mills will be sup plied by Johnson Creek, there will be an auxiliary engine to furnish power when the water happens to be low. All shafts for the transmission of power to the machines will all be under the floor. The warehouse stands on the east side of the main structure. The sidetrack from the Southern" Pacific Railway run3 along the east side of this building. Here the wool Is received from the cars and starts on its way through the mill until it reaches the packing department as a finished product Teady for the market. There will be no unnecessary cartage when once the wool enters the ware house, but every movement It makes will be part of transforming the crude ma terial Into the finished articles. The packing-room Is at the northwest corner .of the main structure, and connects with the ample office. In this same part of the building, the cloak and wash and lunch rooms are located. The main entrance is on the north side. John Carter, finisher, and father of the superintendent, said yesterday that the Portland Woolen Mill will be one of the finest In the state, as it ia being constructed on modern lines. It will be an excellent place in which to work, on account of the thoroughly mod ern methods of light and ventilation. Work is in progress on the big fluma which will carry the waters of Johnson .Creek to the power pit. It Is 8x7 feet ana is building of heavy timbers. Watrr will be taken from the creek just belu.v the old dam. A Unit There. "Is it true," Inquired the friend, "that the doctors who were called In consulta tion over your husband disagreed?"
