Many and Varied Amusements

ADJUSTMENTS of many and varied kinds
provided. Special performers in the field of
battles engaged to give outdoor exhibitions, and
generally these partake of death-defyng feats,
sational in the extreme, in which the chief in
terest seems to be how nearly can the performer
defy death and live. Bicycle riding tight wires
by electric light is thrilling enough. but the dive
from a wheel while dashing down steep incline,
landing in tank of water into which common
man would hardly dare plunge from the ground,
and this in the semi-darkness of the smoky night,
is trihe too risky to be discussed in cold blood.
But eager thousands have stood with bated breath
to watch these performances. Diving horses and
diving elk, jugglers and contortonists, snake
charmers and dancers, have all given their per-
fo in the open air to the admiring approval
of the thousands, while within the tents still other
shows are presented before those who enough

1t is not wholly frivolous undertaking, al

Good Measure of Liberty

certain amount of liberty is allowed at this
time and on the grounds Sometimes this has de-
generated almost into license but the crowds have
for the most part been most orderly, and the fun
has been of harmless and good natured kind. The
northern blood has not yet been able to warm up
to the southern idea of carnival conduct, and for
this reason certain degree of decorum pervades
even the most enthusiastic of the gatherings on
grounds. Outside the grounds the only departures
from the ordinary rules of street conduct is due to
the eageness of the people they hurry along the
street and jostle one another going and coming
from the grounds The throwing of confetti and the
blowing Of horns constitute about the only mani
festations Of the real carnival spirit None of the
scenes that have been entertainingly written of
by those who have soiourned along the Riviera
during the carnival have yet been enacted
at the Omaha street fair At seasons the confetti
throwing has overstepped the bounds, but this has
been quickly checked by the police, and and
then some too Jealous observer of the rules of the
game has been hailed away to the station, where his
enthusiasm has ebbed with the cooling of his blood
The restriction of confetti to the grounds has been
of salutary effect and has minimzed the evils
that threatened to grow from its ndiscriminate
on the streets The joyous laughter and merry
screams that rise among the pushing, hauling, jost-
ling multitudes give the best possible evidence of
the feelings of those who engaged in the
a year festival of Ak-Sar-Ben.

Douglas County Fair

Douglas county has an eminent distinction
agricultural county, in spite of it's having the
metropolis of the state and large section of sur
rounding states within its borders At the last
fair at Lincoln Douglas county carried off the hon
ors, and within the week the Agricultural society
has received notice that hereafter Douglas will be
debarred from competition at Lincoln. This will
not prevent a display of the county's magnificent
agricultural and genealogical trophies at the street
fair. All this evidence of activity among the farm
and the fruit growers will be displayed to ad-
vantage, and the show is sure to be we'll worth
while The hoss trot is absent, but other features
for amusement are numerous. and the speed
tests not greatly missed. The farmers have in
variably taken full advantage of the opportunity to
make the displays, and it is question If they
not better served at the street fair than they
at the old county fair. Merchants and manu-
facturers also have part in the display, and show
their wares in a very attractive manner, adding
much to the interest of the street fair.

the list of attractions Afforded by these travelling

about everything that be exhibited under a

magii who COMPOUNDED by Moses and Aaron

of Abraham did the same stunts that now elicit

Superiority Of Ak-sar- Ben's Show

All these features combine to give the Ak-sar-
Ben street fair something of the nature of expo
stion and lift 1t far above the level of the exhibi-
ton generally associated with the name. 1t has a
serious side well its amusement features, and
is filing most important place in the economy of
the wise kings administration. The show this
year promises to eclipse any of it's predecessors in
all directions, and with anything like favorable
weather ought to break all records in the matter
of attendance.

WWYHEN the merry carnival time comes
~ around a year, the street fair bios
SONS, and its joys and attractions are
shared In by thousands who press Gag
erly through the gates enjoy the sights that have
been prepared for the edication and delectation of
the throngs. 1t has to be as much a part
of AksarBen festivities as the parades themselves
In the beginning the carnival time was limited, and
the attractions and amusements were confined to
the daylight and night parades, and the grand
coronation ball at the Den. These were all right
so far they went, but they didn't go far enough.
Something more was needed to give the season
more full realization of its pretensions to being
carnival time and the street fair the result.
Birth Hidden in Mystery
Efforts to trace the street fair to it's origin
are likely to shoot off down any one of number
of that converge in it's reality. It's pres
ent manifestation in Omaha partakes of a wedding
of the exposition midway and the county fair. The
great Transmississippi exposition begot among
Omaha citizens taste for the midway amusements
and it also shut out the Douglas County Agricul-
tural society from holding it's annual pumpkin
show and horse race. After the close of the expo
stion, and while the agricuturaliss trying to
revive their annual county fair the street fair idea
was suggested and the two were consolidated so
that fine opportunity is offered here for the county
fair people to have their exhibition, and for the
persons who seek the relaxation of the carnival
season to indulge in amusements more or less dig
nihed to crafty themselves. 1t has been most
happy combination, if results to determine
Some features of the affair have been objected
to, and these the controlling powers have remedied
Once quite bit of protest sent up against the
fair whole, but the directors answered, Give
us a substitute" and as none presented, the
street fair is continued.
