Fair Notes.

Fair Notes.
Entries for the trotting and pacing
events close next Thursday.
Plenty of cars will be provided this
year to move the crowds who attend the
fair.
Shorts famous American band of
Springfield has been engaged to furnish
music at the fair.
There will be the usual ballon ascension
and parachute drop each day, by Prof.
Hillman of Boston.
Entries are coming in for the trotting
events, and the indications are that there
will be a good field of starters for each
race.
M. F. Brown will have the society din
ing room under the horticultural hall
again this year, and will serve course
dinner.
W. F. Piper of Springfield has been Sc
cured as a starter on the horse races.
Me Piper has been here for number of
years and has made many friends.
AS usual there will be continuous
stage performance. The trained birds
last year proved 50 popular that the man
agement has engaged similar attraction
this year. Rosa Maynon with her trained
birds will hold the attention of the audi
ence. 1t is said that she has the largest
and most beautiful troupe of Australian
and East Indian cockatoos, African and
South American macaws, ever presented
besides a flock of imdorted, racer, fantail
pigeons. The wonderful tricks that these
birds can be trained to perform are very
interesting, and as a spectacleiit is unsur-
passed. Willie Nicholas, one of the many
artists engaged, Is advertised as the bone
less wonder. Willie probably has bones,
but he is such slick contortionist that
one would never guess it. Another man
who is making hit wherever he appears
Is Walter Stanton. Walter Is made up to
look like an enormous rooster on the
stage. He fights with a little game
rooster, Is finally vanquished, and lays
over on the stage dead. He will die each
day of the fair here three times In all
i The three Rossi Bros. are a trio of aero
bats who do grotesque pantomime and
contortion acts. They are just as full Of
1t as they can hold and have numerous
stage accessories to aid them in their
ludicrous efforts to please. Collins
Madell have been induced to come to Stat
ford to appear in comedy novelty musical
}c 10 h.
bills as Monti. You cannot tell from the
name, whether 1t Is man or a woman
but will know the day of the show. Mont
has the most marvellous sensational act
ever presented by European performer
in America. The LaNole Brothers, com
edy aerial gymnasts, have got mid-ail
act that will make chills run down the
backs of numerous people. They do al
kinds of tricks on revolving break-away
ladder and If anything breaks or slips, II
will be very unpleasant for the LaNolt
Boys. The Rice brothers impersonate 6
farmer and chinaman. They are handy
on the horizontal bar and have severa
very amusing acts. Mile Eta will appear
on the flying rings and Victoria will intro
duce sensational novelty contortion ane
acrobatic act. 1t Is suspected that bott
of these last named ladies have give1
fictitious names. Those who admire thu
wonderful efficiency of the Japs will b.
lpleased to learn that the Kilamura Japa
nese troupe has been engaged by the man
lagement. Other attractions will be Sc
a1nHred between now and fair time as thu
association always aims to do more thar
Tbs advertised. ~
