THE MEMPhREnA0OO FAIR,

Speaking of the Memphremagog Fair
to be held at Newport, the Express and
Standard says:
just keep an eye on the dates, August
lG, II and Is; and plan to attend, with
the whole family, for there'll be count
less things on the grounds to interest
each member. Attractions Ia Sher-
brooke Yes, the management have star
ted on that basis. Sherbrooke's fair is
rousing success always, and why? At
fractions plenty and events are carried
out as advertised. That's just the idea
of the Memphremagog Fair managers.
The novelties they are advertising are
strictly up-to-now; for instance: The
locomobile, a horseless carriage, will be
exhibited on the park for the first time
this side of Boston; then therell be the
auto-trucks, auto-cabs, autographs, auto
well, you just ought to get there and
see 'em whirling about, making specta-
tors dizzy with delight. There will he
a double balloon ascension that was so
popular among the 4th-of-July events.
The "Cineograph" will show up life-like
moving pictures, band concerts, exhibi-
lions by novelty artists, etc, etc. Amt
they going to have any agricultural or
stock exhibits? Guess you'll think so
when you enter Floral and Mechanics
hall and then saunter over to the stock
department and view the prize cattle, etc.
For details, peruse the adj. on the back
page of this issue.
