An Elaborate Display Arranged For
at Olympic Park.
Arrangements for the New Jersey
fair of 1909, at Olympic Park, Newark,
October 9-17, have progressed so salts
factorily within the last week or so
that it is now evident the big event
will greatly surpass any of it's prede-
cessors in all around excellence and
also in the quantity and quality of ex-
hibits in each of it's numerous depart
ments. Special attention is to be paid
this year to entertainment features,
and number of novelties have been
booked, which as popular drawing
cards promise to surpass anything of
the kind ever offered in this section.
Latest on the list of specialties for
which the management is negotiating
is an airship of a novel and original
type. The flyer is now being tested in
| long-distance flights and if it does
what is claimed for it by specialists
visitors at Olympic Park during fair
week will see as pretty an exhibition of
aerial navigation as science has yet
been able topresent.
Practically all the entertainment
features which have made Olympic
Park so popular throughout the sum-
mer season will be retained as attrac-
lions during the fair. There will be
dancing, afternoon and evening, in the
big pavilion especially devoted to this
use, with music by Professor Haber-
sang's orchestra. Professor G. f. Mon
talvo will act as master of ceremonies.
| Vaudeville shows composed of high
class acts especially selected for open
air presentation will be given daily on
stage ia front of the grand-stand.
Roller toboggan, carousel, helter-
skelter, moving picture pavilion and
other standard park features will pro-
vide amusement in variety, not to
mention the Midway, with it's galaxy
of surprises.
| Applications for space in the manu-
facturers' building have been coming
in so rapidly that it now looks as if
available room would be reduced TO a
minimum we'll in advance of the date
set for the opening of the fair. Here
will be exhibits from prominent mer-
camille houses, as we'll as from indus
trial establishments, which desire TO
show their wares and to demonstrate
manufacturing processes. One large
department house in Newark has mac @
tentative arrangements to take Severi

the purpose of showing the furnishings
and equipments of the various rooms of
\ a model house.

its horse show department the New
Jersey Fair of 1909 promises to set a
