Following The name of the prize we
give the donor. Where no names are
given as donors, the prizes are given
by the committee in charge of the pro-
gram from the liberal donations of the
people for the purpose.
The business men have subscribed
literally for the various expenses and
have been very liberal in the way OF
dona -ons for prizes. Everyone is
welcome to come and pressing invi-
tatlcn is extended to everybody to
come and see the great exhibition. 1t
viii be better than a circus, and there
will be a bigger crowd in town.
The boys on the farm need a day of
re't and pure sport; bring them in to
SD the Megatholistophrlcon, as it will
positively be the last opportunity to
see this gigantic specimen of a nearly
extinct race.
Just here we might say that the
hiegatAolistophricon is one of the
queerest of all animals 1t is ,con-
s.fucted especially for travel around
nillisides, as its legs on one side are
shorter than they are on the other, and
the only way ID can be captured is to
get it started around the hillside and
then arrange to frighten it as it comes
along, getting it confused and when it
turns around to go the o.ner way, it
rolls over and over to the bottom of
the hill, where men are waiting to
capture it. The animal has to be ex-
hlblted in cage with two floors in it,
so that it can put its short legs on a
platform to bring its body level.
Don't fail to see il, as it will probab-
ly die before another Fourth of July,
and it can only be exhibited on that
date.
