 Plans are we'll under way for tn annual fair, which will be held thi year September 29 and 30 and Go tober 1st. The Keith and Procto agency will furnish, the vaudeville attractions. and a strong bill is offered One of the best attractions is th' Bonisettis troupe of acrobats, wh' were imported especially for the Nev York hippodrome, where they hav' appeared during the past season. Theil work is wonderful. Another i'm portant engagement is that ot Josepf and Sari Nord. Sweden's wonderful high divers. A very tall tower fl used for this act. and certainly is { thriller. Miss Elsie Harvey and the Field boys put on 8 dancing act that has been featured all over the KeitE circuits, and is Q warm number in the amusement line. Among the other artists who will appear are Robin comedy juggler, Paula, a -trapeze performer, Daley Bros. acrobats, all of whom excel in their line of work. In addition, the Clark Razillian trio will put on a triple bar act and well descent, and Merrill. the eccentric oontortionist. The society will fol low the plan of last year in making the first day free to all children under IA years of age. It will be bargain day for adults also, as an admission of but 25 cents will be charged on that day. The racing program includes two good ents for each day. With the new electric road opened, the crowd at the fair this year will prob ably be a record breaker, and the management propose to spare no effort or expense to make 1t 8 pleased crowd.
