Caledonia County Fair.

The management of the quick pulsed
Caledonia County Fair are hard at it to
make this years fair the best ever held
on their grounds, and have secured for
the free attractions some of the best acts
that the B. F. Keith Co. ever introduced
in their several vaudeville show houses.
The Bessie Veldare Troupe of bicycle
riders are without doubt the best of
their kind in the world today, and with
DeVelde & Zelda, the artistic equilibrists,
presenting superb demonstration of
their equilibrium with electrical effects
are sure to make the stage attractions
worth the price of admission. They
have also secured Prof. c. c.. Bonnette
with world wide reputation, who will
make two balloon ascensions with his
double parachute drop and trapeze acts
in mid air. George c. Cary will show
his big four-year-old steers free here. At
all other fairs they are to be shown
under canvas this year. They are with
out doubt the best pair of four-year-old
steers in the world today, weighing over
5000 lbs, and are very closely matched.
They. have secured special train service
on the Boston & Maine railroad from
White River Junction, and on the st. J.
q L: {. railroad from Hyde Park with
special reduced rates on all roads. The
entries on all classes are coming in very
fast. and with the premiums offered,
which are very liberal, they are bound to
have every class filled. They are now
trying and are in hopes to make arrange
ments with Thomas w. Lawson to show
his string OF show horses here this year.
If you are interested in any of the prem
iums offered, and have not received a
premium list, the secretary would be
| glad to mail you one.
