The event of the year will be
the exhibition of the Santa Dumont
airship which will be demonstrated
in this city on the day of exhibition
of the Yankee Robinson Shows.
This is the identical airship that
made the circle of Eihel Tower in
Paris last September. 1t is indeed,
as outlined in the advertising of
the show, the marvel of the age.
Prof. Foster, who has charge of the
big ship, has worldwide reputa-
tion in Europe, where he has made
successful flights before the army
officials of Germany, France, Eng
land and Russia.
Owing to the immensity of this
production, the Yankee Robinson
Shows will only exhibit this season
every one hundred miles. The point
of exhibition for this particular
locality has been selected at Bemidii,
Thursday July 22. Arrangements
have been made to run excursions
for one hundred miles to this city.
1t is conservatively estimated by
railway officials that upwards of five
thousand people will take advantage
of the low rate to witness this never
to be forgotten sight.
Together with visitors by rail, the
country people who will drive to
the point of exhibition and others
who will be desirous of taking
advantage of this imposing sight, it
is fair to estimate that upwards of
twenty thousand people will witness
the demonstration.
The airship will positively be DEM
onstrated with the Yankee Robinson
Shows on Thursday, July 22.
Juna, the Bear Face girl, is one
of the late features advertised with
the Yankee Robinson Shows, which
appears at Bennidji, Thursday July

FAILS TO KNOCK OUT ROSS
Sporting Men Think Less of Johnson's
Fighting Ability.

New York, July 2.-The failure of
Jack Johnson to knock out Tony Ross
in six rounds at Pittsburg occasioned
much comment in New York sporting
circles and caused the betting on
Stanley Ketchel to materially i'm,
prove. While the reports show that
the black champion gave his fourth
rate antagonist a severe drubbing it
was confidently expected that Johnson
would be able to put him out in any
one of the six rounds. His failure to
do so, coupled with his recent en-
counter with Philadelphia Jack
O'Brien, who was twice decisively
beaten by Ketchel, caused the sport
ing men to figure that Ketchel has
an excellent opportunity to grab the
heavyweight championship.
