FOR THE FAIR
FINE LINE OF ENTERTAINMENT
is ASSURED.
PROGRAM NOT COMPLETED
AND MANAGEMENT is TRYING TO
SECURE MORE ATTRACTIONS.

The fair management has closed
contracts for few of the attractions
for Brookings countys big exposition
which opens one week from Monday
September 20. Among the good ones
are King William, the famous div
ing goat, that will do his act in front
of the grand stand each day; Johnny
Riggs, the undisputed champion of all
aerists, direct from ST. James Park
Dublin, Ireland, who will be seen in
front of the grand stand each day in
his big feature aerial act; Mike Nc
Ginty, in his comedy wire and Juggling
acts, telling all about his trip from
Dawson City, Alaska to Coney Island
in an IIish automobile; the Circline
Wave, the latest, most novel and most
fascinating amusement feature of the
day. This last attraction, which was
just closed for this week, has made
a big hit in the east and should prove
a good feature here. 1t has a circular
and dipping motion at the same time
and makes three dips with each revo
luton, giving a perfect imitation OF
boat riding on ocean waves, and is
a most pleasing, exciting and safe
ride. Harrison's Trained Animal show
will be another strong amusement fea
ture. 1t consists of troupe of train
ed dogs and goats in fifty separate
and distinct acts, and better than the
dog and pony show here last year
The management has lines out fol
other good attractions and the people
of Brookings county who come to the
ever pulled off in this part of the
state. In addition to the attractions
there will be a fine line of horse
races, novelty races, ball games ant
other sports, making the four days q
continual round of pleasure.
The liberal premiums of the differ
ents departments assure a display o
the products of the farm, garden ant
household that will be even larger
than the fine one of last year The
premiums offered are better than any
fair in Minnesota or Wisconsin, il
fact they compare very favorably
with those offered by the state fairs
and this liberal policy should resul
in fine showing of Brookings county
products.
The poultry department, which has
been one of the strongest features
the past two years, will be even bet
ter this year. Superintendent Chas
f. Poole announces a long list o.
special premiums offered by outside
concerns, which will add much inter
est to the display in his department
Increased premiums are also Offered
in the cattle, horse and other depart
mentS.
An especial effort will be made tC
opening day, an event long to be re
membered by the boys and girls ol
this county. The management has
prepared a strong line of entertain
ment and cordially invites the young
