COURT EDWARDS
TIE TRICK BICYCLE RIDER OF
ENGLAND WILL EXHIBIT AT
THE CARNIVAL
The Mysterious Mirror Maze and the
Canadian Midget Will Be Other
Attractive Features.

In addition to the many attractions
offered by the Gaskill-Mundy company
for the coming festival, is a new fea-
ture, writes MI Gaskill to the pro-
moter. Il have been very fortunate
in securing for the season Mr.. Court
Edwards, the English bicycle trick rid
er. This is Mr. Edwards first visit to
this country, and from reports from
the English dailies, he is wonder
A chute is built sixty feet high and
$50 feet long Mr. Edwards takes a
start on the ground about fifty feet
from the chute rides up to the plat
form turns around and down again
There are obstl uctiOns placed upon
the chute which act as hurdles Every
time he passes one he bounds into the
air. Mr. Edwards looks on his way
down as if he was riding the hurdles.
Although the chute is only three feet
wide, the bicycle speeds down the in
cline as straight as an arrow Mr. Ed
wards will perform this difficult feat
twice day during the spring festiv-
al"
Another new feature with the com
bination is the maze, the mysterious
mirror maze. The visitor. on enter
ing this maze, is at once confronted
by what seems to be 10000 living inn
ages of himself in as many different
directions and in numerous attitudes
So much attention is given by the
visitor to lodging himself in the cir
cutious passages of the maze that he
| looses all recollection of the route
whence he came and when he decides
to return to the outer world he finds
himself baffled and lost. Guards are
stationed at different points in the
maze who will direct the mystified
visitors to the exit, if asked to do so,
but otherwise you are left to work out
your own salvation, which not infre-
! quently becomes a hope4ess task, with
final recourse to the guards as the
only alternative of getting out.
Corita, the human doll, is another
feature to be seen. Everybody is in
terested in the little folks, and a show
of this kind would not be complete
without a midget, so the management
f, started out last fall to get something
new in this line. Every agent was no.
| titled throughout the United States
/ to be on the lookout and to spare no
| money or expense. MI. Gaskill was
| notified about the first of March that
| there was little lady living about 200
miles north of Montreal, Canada that
had never been on exhibition, so made
trip of 5000 miles aud contracted
for one year at an enormous salary
She joined the combination at Dallas
and has made sensation Thousands
Of people visit her little pavilion every
