HOUSTON DEEP WATER JUBILEE, AN UNUSUAL CIVIC CELEBRA- TI0N-C A. WORTHAM PRO- VIDED EXCELLENT AND VA- RIED PROGRAM OF CARNIVAL AMUSEMENTS - "SLIPPERY GULCH" A BIG HIT . The Nb-tBU-oh deep water Jubilee, held In Hous- ton, Tex., from Saturday, Not. 7, to Monday, Nov. 16, inclusive, will go down in history as one of the most novel, diversified, omplete and merited- oui civic celebrations ever held In this country. Tira Houston spirit, bucked by some of the world's greatest entertainment, creative and artl*- tlc talent, coupled with civic pride and ample finance*, pat to a successful culmlnaton an event that will return to tba people of tbat community benefits that cannot lie reckoned by mere dollars and cents. , , Thb event was In honor of the completion of Houston's ahlp channel, which, after forty years' untiring effort on the part of Its public-nplrtted cltUeni, permitted tbat city to.nuke Us debut Into the maritime cltr cla»s. Thb celebration was natlon-wlde lu Its scope, of vital local Importance, and comtleta to the minutest detail. Othbb cities have poislldy had one feature or parade tt.n'. was an exceptional concentration and artistic achievement, In which the progenitor* exhausted every available recourse—but not ao with Houston. There seemed lo be no end to their Ineenulty and powera to properly carry out their every wish relative to there features. A PABisc was given each dar. The night was crowded and Oiled to overflowing with social happenings and popular entertainment. Thb press of the country has dealt at length upon the acopo and importance of the deep water jubilee, ao we will go Into the details that Interest and pertain to the profetslon of entertainment and to the carnival In particular. Rioht here it win not bo amlas to credit III jot Campbell, Tliomua Flagman, the managing director, and Mlltou L. Morris for the part they plaved In the aiiteers of the celebration. To Milton L. Morris, tbe secretary of the No-tau-oh. a word of r.Ta!*e muit be given for the untiring effort nut forth by htm in perfecting the detalla of this gigantic acbleveiuont. Kuom Mayor Campbell's mesaage to the cltlsens of Houston down to the final turning oil of lbs light* on tbe Jubilee grounds nothing was over- looked. 0. A. Wortham, known to the carnival world as the "Little Oiant," kept the contract made with the association for tbe carnival shows and concessions to the very letter, and more than delivered. List of which follows—they speak for themselves: ''he lUuelon Auditorium Is bounded by Milan f-tr<-et. and Texas nnd Capitol Avenues, on each side of which was an entrance to where the carni- val shows nnd conceasons were located, extending bick four city blocks to City Park Avenue. Tbe Capitol Avenue entrance was called "Tlckletown." the name of the Midway used last yenr. The en- trance on the Teias Avenue aide waa called "Jubi- lee Orour.da." The arches or entrance* were architecturally nothing to brag about. The light- ing of tho grounds was however fairly good. In addition to the shows loomed within the enclosure there wss a very handaomc, permanent exposition building tbat was used to display the "Made In Houston" and other nrodueta which were very complete In every particular. Besides there wa* the dog, eat and poultry show*, located In another part of the grounds In tents. Ktaiix hack of tbo Auditorium, running from Texas to Capitol Avenue, was the now famous "Slippery Gulch; or, the Days of "49" carnival aeniation. Over each entrance were tbe follow- ing signs: "Paas the Buck," "Sllpnery Gulch: or. the Days of '49;" "Bed Rooster's Big fun Show."

The press of Houston accepted Ibe "Hllppe-ry Ou.rh; or. Days of '40" ns the one carnival nov- el ty of the year and gavo It untold nublle-lty. In fact, 77.o i'oal and Chronicle proved flint they were for and with the Deep Water Julilles- from start to finish In everything they did.
