On the Midway.
Scene, Gay with Life and Color at the Bur
lington Street Fair Next Week.

| .
There is every assurance that Burling
ton will entertain fully $4,000 visitors the
week of the great Street Fair and Mid
summer Carnival to be held in the Queer
City beginning next Monday and con
tinuing through the week. Every fore
noon there will be free exhibitions or
the street and free band coocerts. The
city will be alive, not only with people
but will also take on the life of far
Eastern city and the Vermonter can
without any great jar to his imagination
transfer himself from the Green Hills to
an Algerian market place or to the gay
streets of Turkey.
The industrial street and industrial pa
Wilton will be thrown open to the public
each afternoon and evening and there
and on the Midway amusement will run
necessarily.
The details of the Fair are now nearly
completed. The mighty Midway, under
the management of that famous show
man, Frank Z. BoStock, will arrive in
Burlington before sunrise August 90 and
will be in readiness to give two perform
ances each day of the week.
This aggregation of amusement novel
ties will include the famous Bostock wild
animal show which will be presented in
the 60-foot ST eel Hagenback arena. Adj
Joining this amusement will be the Cairo
theatre which includes among its famous
dancers of the East the famous La Belle
Fatima, who won renown as dancer at
the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
She is accompanied by number of
Turkish attendants and her own band of
musicians. There will also be Chinese
boxer show, presenting the scenes of the
recent conflict between Chinese and
American forces. These pictures have
been III this country but few weeks.
There will be a Philippine theatre rep
resenting the life in our new possessions :;
and host OF other shows too numerous
to mention.
On the Midway Mons. j. Oberti, the ia
mpus aerial bicycle wonder will ride his
wheel on live wire high above the can
vass below him across the grounds of the
Midway. Oberti traverseS his wire with
his bicycle reversed and with full cur
rent of electricity upon the wire.
In the industrial pavilion A. II. Knoll
and Marie Mcneil, famous vocalists and
instrumentalistS. who this week are ap-
pearing at the Point of Pines near Bos-
ton, will give classical musical entertain
mentS
amusements in the industrial street, in
Guiding a Punch and Judy show for the
children. The industrial street aud in
dustrial pavilion will be gay with life
and color, the merchants of the city max
ing fine exhibitions and decorating their
booths in lavish and latest improved
style. 1t is estimated by good judges
that the Burlington Street Fair will call
to Burlington the week of August goth
fully $4,000 people. 1t will surely be a
novelty in the line of entertainment, and
as bothlthe railroad and steamboat lines
have made low rates the people of all sec
lions OF territory can see the sights in the
Queen City at very small expense.
Now of all times of the year will be the
time to visit your friends and relatives in
the Queen City and as the railroad rates
are low on all lines and tickets good on
all trains throughout the week one can
come to Burlington and remain several
days at very small expense.
The byword in Burlington is "Meet me
on the Midway"
