R. Werner. We acknowlede signing the con tract to play for 2.50 per man per day. and the'repudiation of the same for good and valid reasons. These contracts were signed under the representations and with the positive understanding that the price paid the different city bands were to be uniform. The trouble began when Mr. W. R. Palmer, leader of the Eighth Regiment band, approached regular players in other city bands and onered them ?3 a day. ana in some instances $4 a day, if they would play with his band during the Street Fair engagements. Our mem bers then became dissatisfied and there rose a suspicion that different prices were being paid the different, city bauds. As a result of this condition of af fairs. A. C. Light. leader of the Good rich hand; E. B. Sisler, manager of the K. O. T. M. band, A. G. Ranck, leader, being out of the city, and C. A. Foster, leader of Foster's Concert band, immediately called upon Mr. Werner and informed him of W. R. Palmer's offer to some of their men and talked over the prices to be paid the different city bands. Mr. Wer ner stated that all city bands had contracted to play for ?2.50 per man per day. and we then asked him to see the contract made with the Eighth Regiment band, which he re fused to show us, saying that $30.00, or thereabouts would appear on their contract, which he said was his own personal matter. We left his office much disappoint ed at not being .able to see the Eighth Regiment hand contract and report ed tho same to our respective bands, and this fajt, in connection with the very manifest, unfairness in the number of engagements given the dilferent city bauds, led to the con clusion not to till the meagre en gagements given the Goodrich, K.O. T.M. and Foster bands. The contract with the Eighth Regiment band, which Mr. Werner refused to show us, is not the one h3 now publishes, for the present one is a straight ?.tu contract per man, and the additional $30 which he said appeared in that contract does not appear in the one published yesterday. This being a city matter, and the bunds being paid out of a general subscription fund, we feel that all city bands should have been placed onan absolute equality as to prices and number of engagements. Une city band was given lour clays and the other three bands two days each. The Eighth Regiment band was allowed thirty men and the oth er bands limited to 25 men each. All of the above discriminations we regard as being partial, unfair and unwarranted. We desire to say to the people in general, and to the friends of the three bands in partic ular, that we are clearly and honestly of the belief thatgross partiality and unfairness has been exercised in the hiring of the city bands for the Street Fair engagements. We have the success of the Fair as much at heart as the average loyal citizen of Akron, and sincerely regret that circumstances were such that we were finally obliged to cancel our engagement.

The grand Carnival parade started promptly at 12 o'clock from the cor ner ol Market and Main sts. Headed by the Eighth Regiment band, fol lowed by the Emperor of China and hi-, suite. The course of the parade mi', west on Market to Haward, south on Howard to Main, north on Main to Market, east, on Market to Pierce park. Horrible Dragon. Directly following the escort was one of the weirdest and fiercest look ing creatures overseen on thestreets i of Akron. It was adragon, 35 feet long and 12 feet high to the tip of its wings. Ever and anon its mouth would fly open and snorts of rage could he heard. In color it was a sort of sea green, with brownish spots here and there. The big crea ture moved rather slowly, so alt could see it. It seemed possessed of as many feet as a caterpillar, and strange to say nearly all the feet had shoes on. Then from the internal mechanism of the monster human voices could be heard. A young man from Wadsworth, standingnear the corner of Market and Howard as the parade went by, claimed that he distinctly heard the words, "Jim, give me another chaw of fine cut," coming Irom the interior ot the head. To Messrs. Bietz & Beck, the painters and decorators, belong the credit of manufacturing this strange creature of tho gods. Muslin, wire netting, newspapers, and many other aiticles were used in its manufac ture. It is kept in the tent in Bierce park, to which it was with difliculty taken Tuesday night at 12 o'clock. Following the dragon, were all the attractions of the Canton Caruival company, the elephants, camels and acrobats, dancing girls, magicians, and performers, either mounted or in '"arriages. All along the lino of march the streets were crowded and the people lustily cheered this or that which happened to please their fancy. Elks Will Parade. At a meeting of the member-: of the Akron lodgoheld last night, tho invitation from the Citizens Street Fair and Carnival Committee, invit ing tho lodge to participate in the grand parade to be given Saturday, September 1G, was formally present ed to the meeting. After a full dis cussion the members unanimously decided to accept tho invitation and :t committee of fifteen was appointed to make all preparations. While the time is very short in which to notify the membership, stillfrom the hearty record that was given to this invita tion they will no doubt make a favorable showing. In tho discus sion that enbiicd there was -but ono fpcling that predominated and that was to consider the Street Fair and Carnival a an Akron enterprise anil one in w liich every citizen should do I K utmost to make it a success. The Klks have at former limes given en tertainments and put in formal pro jects that while they were intended for the benefit of their organization r-lill have been a pleasure and profit to the city and they ap pieeiate lully the value of the aid .mi! encouragement extended to them at all times by the citizens, and, time permitting, they now propose to .-.how their appreciation of their favors by Inking an active pail. The Street Fair and I'm i nival is for the many, and what i'ir redounds to tho city's interest ill naturally be of value to them. The members are requested to meet ill their hall on S.'itmday, September l(i at 12:.'M sharp, dressed in lodge uniforms white duck trousers, cap. daik coat, and carry canes. The Kiks' band has been notified and will lead the Klks line of march. Chairman Werner of tho executive committee will give them n prom inent place in the line of march.
