NOTED AVIATOR
ARRIVED To-Day
MAN WHO STARTED ACROSS THE
CONTINENT IN AERoPLANE
ARRIVED IN CITY THIS MORN
ING WITH FAMlLY--ls READY
FOR FLIGHTS IN FARGO.

Jimmy Ward, the noted South Chi

nau who caused such a sensation
some time ago when he started out
to ros the continent In an ~aeroplane.
arrived In the city this morning to
make his big flights at the North Da-
kota State fair this week.
In his recent lights at Winnipeg,
Jimmy Ward broke all the previous
Canadian records for altitude and
duration, remaining in the air twenty
minutes. He was highly compli-
mented by the Duke Of Connaught
for his achievement.
Ward made the great record at the
recent meet in Chicago when he flew
10000 feet in a twenty horse power
machine. At Fargo this week he will
use q sixty horse power, eight cylinder
machine Of the Curtiss type, the same
n in which he started to cross the

Before Ward took up aviation he

some time he was an instructor and
tester at the Curtiss factories.

want to buy il. The bids for the lum-
Der were opened by the board Of
trustees of the X. M G, A., which

and they were found to be much lower
than was expected, SO that all of them
have been rejected and the boys will

AT the meeting which was held SAT-
urday evening it was decided to i'm.
prove the boys department as was
suggested by Hugh A. Miller, who has

BAND CONCERTS
ABOUT The CITY

Down town Fargo was made aware
that this was fair week this morning
by the music which filled the air at
frequent intervals during the entire
forenoon.
The Forum and other business
places were serenaded by the splendid
Italian band with the Barkoot shows.
This band, though few in numbers.
rendered some delightful music.
The Putnam band which has been
assembled for the state fair is one of
the finest aggregations of musicians
that has ever assembled in the state.
There are forty-fve pieces in the band
including some OF the best talent to
be secured in the northwest.
The band met all trains this morn-
ing and gave a number Of concerts on
the streets. They also rendered sweet
music during the later forenoon and
all afternoon at the fair grounds.

GREATEST CIRCUS
RiNGLING BROS. BETTER THAN.
EVER THIS YEAR-EvERY MAN
CONNECTED WITH SHOW ACTS
THE
ALL THAT WAS ADVERTISED.

Fargoans were pleased with the
Ringing Bros. circus Saturday after
noon and evening. The afternoon per-
Torrance drew a packed tent and there
was a good crowd Ia the evening.
One of the features which Ringing
Bros. have always prided themselves
on and which was especially noticeable
this year was the gentlemanly manner
in which the public vas treated by all
employees. Even the vendors Of pea
nuts and crackerjack'' seemed to have
caught the spirit.
The show is also fortunate in it's
advance men. Wells Hawk. who spent
q week in Fargo as publicity man
previous to the coming Of the show
made many friends in Fargo, by his
genial obliging manner.
Ringing Bros. have departed en-
tirely from the old style introductory
feature, and present q marvellous
spectacle. 1t is acted on a stage which
fills nearly n entire side of the main
tent.
Though it's spectacle production Is
the feature of the programme, the
Rtnglings have by no means sighted
their ring and h~ippodrome acts. In
fact the aerial performance is the
most varied and strongest the Wis
consin showmen have aver presented.
1t is filled with novelties from Euro
pean arenas. OF the 375 performers,
nearly 300 are foreigners, There are
so many admirable features that a
person could not view of them with
out attending the show three or four
times. The costumes Of many of the
performers were gorgeous.
Many changes have been made in
the circus since 1t was last seen here.
The show is now the largest in Ring
ling Bros history and when all of
the five trains necessary to trans
port it are combined. the string OF
cars is a mile in length.
The menagerfe, a source OF great in
terest to young and old alike, is big
ger than ever-a big show In itself.
