This special attraction is well
worth going to see. The distance of
the jump is 40 feet. This is positively
the first time that such an exhibition
has ever been given in this locality.
1t has never been closer than Des
MOines and it was through a great eff
fort that they were secured for an eX-
hibitiOn at this fair. Be sure and see
this feature as it most likely will be
the only exhibit in this part of the state.
