The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-09-23
CONTINUED
ONE DAY
Denison Street Fair Will In
clude Saturday.

Continued Rains Interfere With First
Days Program, so Extra Day is
Added.
The Denison Street Fair and
Carnival will continue until Satur-
day night. The continued rains
have we'll nigh spoiled the opening
day but the arder of the committees
has not even dampened and Deni-
son will give the biggest and best
Street Fair of the year between
showers if it can do NO other way.
There is no use denying that the
heavy rain fall of the past three
days has been discouraging in the
extreme to those having the Street
Fair in charge and to the many
who have invested in stands of all
kinds, but with commendable
spirit, the executive committee has
arranged to prolong the fair one
day and instead of taking away
from the list of attractions new and
splendid ones have been added.
The famous cycle whirl which was
the very best attraction at the
Elk's Carnival at Council Bluffs
has been added as new free at
traction. Every person who at
tended the Council Bluffs Carnival
pronounced this the most startling
and original of all the amusement
features of that fair. The free pro-
gram will occupy two hours of
every afternoon and evening. 1t
will be longer and more varied
than the committee had even hoped
for and much more than it had
expected. There are any number
Of side attractions all Of them good
ones. Booths, merry-go-rounds,
bowery dances, shooting galleries etc
abound at every hand and the
man or woman who cannot have a
tip-top time in Denison the next
few days will be hard to please.
The decorations of the windows are
the prettiest Denison has ever seen
but the rain has interfered with
the outside decorations. AS soon as
the weather clears the town will be
gay with bunting and flags.
The committee has also secured
Doman Pasc, the aerial wonder,
His wonderful beats of contortion
are amazing.
THE PARADES.
1t was found utterly impractical
BILE to hold the Grand Fire Pageant
and Parade this evening. Even
should the skies be clear the
streets would not be in condition
for the heavy floats nor would it
be agreeable for the torch bearers
or fireworks brigades,
The preparations for the parades
are progressing finely. The cos
tuner from Omaha is here with
the finest lot of costumes ever seen
in the city. The Queen Float is
by far the handsomest ever seen
in this part of Iowa. 1t rivals any
of the Ak-sar-ben floats in beauty
of design and richness and effect
iveness of decoration. The deco.
ration was done done by Mrs. B.
f. Philbrook and Mrs. D. L.
Boynton and all who have seen the
magnificent float with its canopy
of pink chryanthemums, its potted
palms, its rich drapings and its
artistic decorations are united in
their praise for the exceeding ex.
cellence with which these ladies
have dcne their volunteer work fol
the success of the fair.
The high school has prepared &
beautiful float, the exact nature o.
which has been kept a secret. l,
will be large float, seventeen
feet high and will be one of the
chief attractions of the parade
The float representing Uncle
Sam and Nations will be gorge
Gus one. This float will contain
nearly twenty characters and vii
be drawn by four horses as will al
the larger floats of the parade.
The added time given by tn,
postponement has encouraged
many of the ladies to enter into th'
) competition for the beautiful vas,
offered By Mrs. Wright for th'
most artistically. decorated carriag'
