1912 CARNIVAL
GREATEST OF ALL

That the 1912 Corn Belt exposi.
ton and corn palace carnival will
be the greatest ever this year-the
twentieth anniversary of its Gre
alton, is undouoted when the good
things to be presented by the corn
palace committee and the people
of Mitchell are generally under
stood. The people of the state of
South Dakota need no introduction
to what the Mitchell Corn Palace
is. Is has been an established in
stitutlon in the state for twenty
years and its reputation as the
only thing of the kind in the world
has gone far and wide over the II
tire country. There are very few
persons in the state today, who
have not anticipated a trip to this
grand entertainment at some time
or another. TO those of them who
have failed to crafty shat anticipa-
ton, the invitation is extended this
year with the assurance that the
whole affair will be put on with
about twice the usual amount of
care and expense.
Chief among the new features
this year is the new $4,000 Europ-
can Hippodrome which will con.
sist of many of the best acts and
high class feature attractions OBJ
tainable. This magnificent show
will be presented twice daily and
will be shown on the newly en-
larged stage of the corn palace
building. The hippodrome will
consist of ten big acts inside and
three grand free street attractions.
1t combines the feature acts of the
best vaudeville in the world with
star performers garnered from four
corners of the circus world.
The Congress Cabaret orchestra,
the pride of Chicago, will also play
two daily concerts in the corn pal
ace. This is an aggregation Of
musicians, every one of which is a
soloist and a distinct artist in his
line. The concerts by the orches-
ira will be interpreted with the
hipprodrome show.
The decoration of the corn pal
ace building will excel anything
this year, ever before attempted.
At a cost of $5OOO.O 90 it will present
to the eye, a thing Of beauty
and a JOY forever. DIR. ellis of
the Michigan State University, who
has had charge of the decorating
lOr many years past has again
been induced to superintendent
the work. His design will be
beauty and simplicity of decora.
ton and the effect is beyond imag.
ination to describe.
Six silver cornet bands from diff,
ferent sections OF the state have
been engaged and two of them will
be on duty every day of the week.
They will meet all trains and will
play daily concerts on the street.
In addition to the unusually at
tractlve corn palace show, the
street carnival section has not been
overlooked. This part of the event
will be greater and grander than
ever. The "Main Drag" will be
replete with all the attractions SO
dear to the heart of a carnival goer
Nothlng has been omitted and SO
great was the demand for space
this year by street attractions that
the committee was enabled. to
make an unusually good selection.
The city Of Mitchell itself has
made such improvement in the
past year that it will hardly be
recognizable. The new cement
paving on Main street extends
from the Milwaukee to the North.
western depot and this is fanked
by the new system Of cluster boule-
Ward lights which makes the finest
appearing main street in the state.
Every effort has been made and
every convenience for the enter.
tainment of the guests of the city
corn palace week has been provided
