STATE FAIR ADJUSTMENTS
More Elaborate Than Ever Before.
More Sensational and More
Instructive.

The finest and most expensive list
of free attractions ever presented to
the West has been secured this year
for the South Dakota State Fair, in
Guiding the great sensational areo-
plane meet and the new refined
vaudeville acts between races. Three
aeroplanes, one French monoplane,
and two biplanes, Wright and Cur

flights at the same time. Only ex.

and it's appearance at the South Da-
kota State Fair is an evidence of the
vast progress made by this institu-
ton.
Between races in front of the
grand stand will be presented a Sc
ries of the most exclusive and refin-
ed vaudeville acts ever shown in this
part Of the country. The bill is
headed by the Marco Twins, said to
be the worlds greatest laughing hit.
