In looking over the list of those who took part in the Authors'
Carnival only five of the number who made up the Chuzzlewit booth are
living, to my knowledge. The Dickens books booths were larger than the
other books. The tableaux required room to give the proper effect. The
carnival opened Monday evening, September 20, 1880, at 8 p.m. The
programme follows:
Grand March. Marshals, Messrs. Joe P. Redding, Lent Mix,
Capt. Chamberlain, Geo. H. Redding, Frank Horton, Mr.
Putman, Jas. W. Burling, R. Gilmour, Chas. H. Woods, Col.
Smedberg, W.E. Dean, C.E. Hinkley, Max Freeman. 2,000
participants. During the march the Grand Military band under
the direction of Mr. Gustav Hinrichs played:
1. Marches aux Flambeaux, (a) in C major; (b) in E flat
major (Meyerbeer).
2. The Nation's Homage to the Muse of Music. (By the Musical
Composers booth.)
