CarsxivaL News —The carnival at the [ilieburorgh Rink this evening prvnilses to eclipse anything of the kind heretofore given in this city. The building has been appropriately decorated for the occasion. Prizes will be given for the best costumes. Make a point of attendi g.

The Souris Carnival, to come « ff on Wed nevday, the 4th inst., will, we feel sure, be even more successful than those previeus:y held at that place. The managers are working hard to make it # success In every respect. -There will be special fares along the line of railway .

The carvival to be held at the Summerside Rink, on Fridsy evening, will, without a doubt be one of the most successful held there in recent years. Everything possib'e is being done to make all who attend enjoy themselves.
