The Fair Attractions.

The managers of the Caledonia county
fair feel that this year they will give the
public best and biggest fair ever held in St.
Johusbury. More attractions have been
secured than ever before and many of
them are Of such novel nature that
they will draw large crowds.
On the second day will occur one Of the
principal attractions of the fair, which is
monster bicycle parade. Forty dollars
in prizes are offered for the best decorated
wheels. Five dollars, So and So for the
three best decorated wheels ridden by
gentlemen and the same for ladies. Ten
dollars offered the town sending the best
ten wheels ridden by FIVE ladies and FIVE
gentlemen and SIS for the town ranking
next. Each rider receives free admis-
sion to the ground for the day and may
have his wheel checked for safe keeping.
c. H. Turner is in charge of the prepara-
tions and each one who rides a wheel is
cordially invited to take part in the pro-
cession.
The japanese day fireworks have been
purchased at a great expense and are
sure to prove a popular attraction.
This Is the first time they have been ex-
hibted in the state and they have always
delighted young and old wherever they
have been shown. =
Richard B. Eastman of Brooklyn, N.
Y, has consented to exhibit in front of
the grand stand his phonograph which
is an improvement on the Edison machine
and it comparative stiffness can be Sc.
cured all on the grand stand can hear
cornet and piccolo solos, conversations,
etc., from this wonderful machine.
For the first time in the history of the
fair the management have secured at
great expense a vaudeville entertainment
which will be shown on a specially con-
structed platform the last two days of
the iair. This will include trained pony

sions with parachute descent the last
two days of the fair, accompanying his
descent with some startling acrobatic
