FEATURES OF WINNIPEG FAIR.
Manager Heubach Returns From New York
With Bookings.

With Bookings.
F. W. Heubach, anage of the
Winnipeg Industrial Exhibition asso-
citation, returned to the city IN Satur-
day from New York and other eastern
points, where he went for the purpose
of securing the attractions for the
coming exhibition. In this he was
more than successful and has been
fortunate in securing some of the
greatest vaudeville attractions in the
world. AS he has not yet made his
report to the board Mr.. Huebach
could not give any details, but speak
ing in general terms he SAID:
las you know the purpose of my
recent trip to the east was for the
purpose of securing the attractions for
our coming exhibition and in that l
was eminently successful
There is one feature of which I can
tell You that will be sensational
enough for anybody, that is if the
man who performs it does not break
his neck before he gets to Winnipeg.
The act is done partly on one Of those
slat bicycle tracks, such as we had at
the fair two years ago. The rider
mounts on the inside and after getting
up a high rate Of speed on the track
flies e. the outside edge and COM
pletes a perfect loop-the-loop. It is
one Of the most thrilling things l ever
saw and to my mind it is far more
difficult than the famous loop-the-loop
of Diavolo. The latter needed only
his nerve, for the speed was supplied
by the run down the incline. while
this new turn requires both skill and
endurance. The turn has never been
made in public, and the Winnipeg
performance Will be the first given
outside New York. AS l said before,
if he does not break his neck in the
meantime, he will do a great act at
the fair.
I'VE are going to have something
entirely new in the way of fire works,
which ought to suit the people. The
display will be more along the lines
Of a Transformation scene such as they
have in the English pantomines thar
those of the past few years. The
model has not yet reached Winnipeg,
50 hat | cannot give you the details
OF the display, but as it is being put
on by the same firm that does specta-
nm a. Irtr1- -, H., D,n,%,, l,,,,,, :,
New York, you can be sure that it is
something out Of the ordinary. 1t is
a very ambitious effort. The fire.
works in connection will be handled
by T. W. Hand, of Hamilton, who fol
the past three years, has had that de-
partment in charge.
"While in Eastern Canada I had a
chance to meet some Ct the men
prominent on the turf, and from them
learned that there is considerable in
terest taken in the events on our race
card. SO much SO that I think that
there will be a number Of horses en-
tered in several Of the events from
the vicinity of Detroit and Toronto.
These will be runner and their pres
ence in Winnipeg will greatly i'm
prove the class in the galloping
events. l cannot state definitely the
number of horses coming until after
the Woodbine meeting this month,
but there will be a good representa-
ton.
THE fair is being pretty we'll dis
cussed in the east, in fact it is regard
ed as n of the biggest in its line in
the Dominion. The west is getting a
lot Of advertising in the east and
never have I heard it more fully dis
cussed than at the present time. l
think that this advertising will have
the effect Of bringing not only people
but capital to Manitoba. Winnipeg
