 The free shows will be given each afternoon and evening during the fair week. man by the name of Spel- man will be here with seven educated horses to put on an act which, it is said, will be especially pleasing to the chill dren. The high wire walker and the high diver, without which no fair s complete, will be here with tn cir thrill ing stunts. And the small boy-and tn big one, too-who oh erish place in their hearts for Buffalo Bill and his broncho busters will be treated each morning and afternoon to wild west acts just as good as Blrs, where romping steers and bucking horses are In the limelight.
