grees at least four stories nigh and
slides down with nothing to balance
him but a parasol. It is the most
spectacular and daring act of its ma
ture that is performed by any Jap
anese troupe in the business.
The Fire Companies also have en-
gagged Douglas and Douglas and Dog,
comedy acrobats, all acknowledged
artists in their profession. Each
of these seven performers viii give
three exhibitions during July Fourth
on an elevated platform erected for
that purpose at different places along
the business streets on the east side
and west side being so arranged that
they cam all be seen by each and
every spectator.
The Japanese Troupe and Douglas
and Douglas are acknowledged head
liners in their class and the twenty
one performances that they viii
give VIII all be free. These acts
have BEEN engaged through Lamg's
Vaudeville Exchange of Chicago, H.,
an exchange of good reputation and
character, and the fact that they
come from Lang's Exchange is a 'suf-
ficient voucher for their being strict
ly first-class, polite and entertaining
in every respect.
AS a special feature in the after
noon, the firemen have arranged to
secure the returns from the Big JEFF
ferries Johnson Prize Fight, which
they Will commence to receive at
three O'Clock p. m, and will announ-
ce the same at the Ball Park during
the progress of the ball game and
continue ously aus fast as the same is
received during the progress of the
game.
The afternoon will be taken up witt
the ball game the Pavilion along
the street railway, music by the band
and one entertainment from each
of the special vaudeville performers.
After supper the band will play
concert; and fireworks such as were
never seen in this vicinity to the "a
mount of at least $3.50. will be shot
off along the banks of the Wiiscon-
sin River. This feature of the pro-
gram, the fireworks, will be furnish
ed by Mr.. T. E. Mullen the popular
salesman for Johannes Bros, and ais
the Committee ON Fireworks did not
have amy experience with fire works /
they left everything with Mr.. Mullen
being confident that the fireworks,
in his charge would be strictly mo-
dern, up-to-date and entertaining;
and OF course he made the price
right, so that We have large "a
mount of fireworks for the money.
After the fireworks, the firemen's
Grand Ball at the Amusement Hall
will accommodate at least four hundred
couples; Bliss's complete orchestra
will furnish music, and electric fans
ice cream and lemonade will keep
the dancers cool and in good spirits.
In every respect lit will be the
most enjoyable celebration ever Civ
en- by the City of Grand Rapids, SO
that the residents of the City would
certainly make mistake by leaving
town and our neighbors would GER
tainly do the right thing by coming
to town, if they wish to be entertain
ed and enjoy themselves ON the 4th.
Besides what is specially mention
ed, there will be other features.
The programmes will be ready Sat
urday night and will be distributed
Saturday night, Sunday and Monday.
ALI of the above, except the base
ball game and the dance in the even
ing to be absolutely and positively
free, there being no charge of any
kind, nature or description connect
ed with the same.
