being given in a large circular steel cage.
The Bostock animal acts are famous all

will be worth a visit to Burlington the
week of the festival.
Among the other attractions will be two
Pan-American successes, the House Up
side Down and the Girl from Up There.
A Ferris wheel has been secured especially
for the children. A stadium or streets OF
India will be another novelty n one sure
TO be popular with the visiting crowds.
Then there will be the Beautiful Orient,
the German village, the Crystal Maze. the
Biograph with the newest pictures and
other features. II will require three acres
of ground to accommodate the amusement
attractions. To light the grounds 100
electric arc lights and 1900 incandescent
lamps will be necessary.
SIX free acts will be given twice daily,
every afternoon and evening.
Come and bring the family and spend
the week of Aug. 81 to sept. 3 IN the Queen
city-the biggest week for pleasure this
section has ever seen.
