The preparations for the great show will go on with even more energy than before, and the pageant when given will be more entertaining than had been planned originally. There will be no stop In the work of making ready for the big fes. tival, and the delay will serve only to enlarge the plans of the committees in charge and to give more time for the adequate preparation of the spectacles and the floats,

The postponement was decided on last even log at a meeting of the Executive Committes of the Carnival Association, the Governor General, the members of the Commission and the speaker and other Assemblymen, held at the Malacanan.
