MANY ATTRACTIONS
BILLED AT CHUTES
Mardi Gras to Be Nightly Feat
ure During Portola Week

Many of the attractions that will
make the New Chutes doubly attrac-
tive to Portola visitors, and which are
but the forerunners of a msmmoth
augmented bill that will be placed in
full swing tonight, went into action
at the big playground yesterday.
Tonight a mardi gras will be formal
ly opened and become the nightly fea-
ture throughout the entire week of
festival. More acts will be added to
the bill which opened yesterday; there
will be a series of concerts by the
California state band, dedicated to
Spanish and Mexican music; and clown
dances, confetti battles and special
fiesta features will be the nightly rule.
The Fillmore. street park will be
decked in carnival array entailing the
use of thousands of varicolored lam
terms and myriads of flags, banners and
streamers in Portola yellow and red.
The grand illumination of the grounds
will take place at o'clock this even
ing and with the flood of light will
be inaugurated a week of carnival and
six days and nights of funfest at the
popular resort.
OF the hippodrome acts the most
spectacular will be that of the French
sisters, which began yesterday. The
midair skirt and fire dances of these
daring aerialists were witnessed and
applauded by thousands of spectators
afternoon and evening. High above
the heads of the crowd the artists de-
scribe immense circles suspended by
their teeth. AT night the Chutes
searchlights illuminate their act with
brilliant effect.
Another unusual attraction which
opened yesterday is isis the me-
chanical figure which nystifies with
its ability to play any melody that the
auditor may name, upon magic either.
isis promises to- best Prince Albert,
the mind reading horse, in point of
popularity. In addition to these and
a dozen other attractions, ssecial
events will be Introduce at intervals

Fair Gives kimball Piano
Highest Honors

The greatest American exhibit on
Musical Instruments ever made was
that Of the Columbian Exposition at
Chicago. With practically every Amer
ican Piano in competition. the award
for superlative merit and highest

Exposition gives TO Kimban Grand and
Upright Pianos the Grand Highest
Award
In these days when the claims OF
manufacturers and dealers for the mer-
it's of their goods know practically no
bounds, it is of service TO the unin-
formed buyer TO have for his guidance
the judgment of musical experts, whose
international fame is a. guaranty Of
their unbiased Judgment.
The w w Kimball Company of Chi
go has for years maintained the larg-
est Piano Factory in the world, their
establishment having q floor space Of
twenty Eight acres and their output
being by far the largest of any factory
devoted TO the manufacture of Upright
and Grand Pianos. With extraordinary
facilities for manufacture. with large
resources and tremendous output. it
has been made possible to sell the Kim
bail Piano-an instrument of the very
highest grade-at prices which are
usually paid for medium grade Piano.

school the boy had taken a newspaper
route to earn little spending money
for the Portola festival. In company
with Harry Gallagher, a schoolmate of
about the same age. he was returning
home after having delivered his last
paper, when he met Mrs. Anthony
George, the wife of a Portuguese Ia
borer, who told the boys that she had
stepped upon live wire and received a
severe shock.
The boys decided to remove the wire
to protect others who might travel that
way, and young Peake, although eau
toned by his companion, started to
pick it up. The next instant he was
writhing upon the ground. Gallagher
summoned r. McCloud, a nearby resi-
dent, who saw young Peake's clothing
ablaze and ran to assist him, but found
that he was dead
