Though some were rather dubious as to the outcome financially of a car- nival, the one in the rink on Friday evening last thoroughly demonstrated to the management of the rink that it is a successful venture, and, we under-i stand, purpose putting on another in ‘ two or three weeks if the weather is favorable. By eight o’clock the rink was well filled with a well behaved crowd of maskers and skaters, and at 8z‘i0 the judging commenced. It was no easy matter to choOse the winning costumes-they were all so good, and though, as is always the case, there was some criticism on the part of the onlookers, we are of the opinion all the prizes were awarded fairly and impartially, to the best judgment of the persons chosen for the purpose.

Out of respect for the parents of those who played, who are respectable people, we refused to publish the score, but this time it is different. The locals have had a few night’s practice, and played astronger team than formerly, and though good scientific hockey is a thing not to be thought of in this rink, the locals put up good team work, outclassing their opponents from start to finish. The Flesherton boys are a good, decent lot of fellows, took their defeat like men and Went home thankful it was no worse. Score 13â€"6.

The largest re-organization lacrosse meeting ever held in Durham was pulled off in Darlings Drug Store annex on Thursday evening last. N 0 business was done, other than the drafting of a possible list of officers, to be voted on this Thursday evening. The utmost enthusiasm was shown, and the management is determined to puta winning team in the field this coming season. Everyone is up and doing, and with a little home support a good record for season 1906 is looked for. A meeting for the election of officers and transaction of general business, is called for this Thursday evening. Don’t forget the placeâ€"Darling’s Drug Storeâ€"and the time is 7:30. SHO IJLD CONSIDER CIRCULATION It takes some people a long time to ' realize the value of a paper as an ad- ; vertising medium. They never seem : to take ‘circulation into account. l Space is the only thing they seem to . see, and when they get a certain amount of space they imagine they are getting value of some kindâ€" Some ’ times they are and some times they '. are not. It stands to reason that a; paper with a large Circulation amonge st a good class of readers is better for advertising than another paper of similar size with perhaps not more than quarter of the number of readers. An advertisement in the paper having the largest circulation, other things i being equal, is worth more money as j a means of giving publicity. THE CHRONICLE has a good circulation,and we will venture to say that more are taken out of Durham post office every week, than some local papers have on their entire list. Circulation counts, and the man who wants to advertise shouldn’t lose sight of the fact that he gets better value for his money when he chooses the paper that is most widely circulated and most widely read.
