Three copies (.a-.c) of a 16-page booklet, 4.75" x 6.75", with program information for a two-day "May-Day festival in aid of the Eliot Memorial" called "Carnival of Authors," held April 30 and May 1, 1878, at Eliot Hall in Newton [Corner]. Cover art is by A. M. Stephenson. The three programs appear to be identical except that two covers are light green and one is pink. The program included a procession of fictional characters in costume, scenes from plays, a children's festival with a May Queen crowning and a May-pole dance, tableaus, and band performances.
