Nen Burgess spent thousands 81 doI-

Neil Burgess spent thousands of dol
lars in patents to cover the mechanism
used in his mechanical horse race in the
New County Fair" but it repaid him
in millions. Until he hit upon his in
genious contrivance for keeping a group
of horses in plain view of an audience
over three-quarters Of a mile of race
course, it had been regarded as impOs-
sible to show the whole of the race on
the stage. THE County Fair is proba-
bly, one of the best American dramas
ever written. Everyone knows dear old
Aunt Abby. the irrepressible Taggs,
the honest Otis. the beautiful thorough
bred horse, "Cold Molasses." and the
wonderful race scene. All these viii be
seen again this year and the mechani-
cal contrivance that shows the animals
straining every nerve over three-quar-
ters of a mile of race course until cold
AIolasses'' wins by a neck. In addition
there are six specialties in the course
of the performance most of which have
never appeared in the play before.
Neil Burgess is not with the cOmpa-
ny. as he never takes to the road" any
more Excellent substitutes have al
ways been provided, however.
