The united opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1881-1970, 1913-09-05

management succeeded in putting on a
Fair worth attending.
The stage attractions met with the ap-
proval of the crowd. For two years this
feature has been omitted, but this year
four troups occupied the center of the
stage in turn. All were acrobatic artists,
and the time between the races was &C
ceptably filled by the artists. The Par
rell-Irio were performers Of many thrill
ing stunts in mid air. rings, bars and
ropes; Mile DeLora, physical culture
artist, did lone act in contortion and
balancing. The acrobatic clowns did a
tumbling act which was a laugh provoker.
Mr. Johnson, who claims no relationship
to Jack, had slack wire act which was
considered by many as the best of the
vaudeville. All the stars received deser-
we'd applause
The feature of the races Thursday was
the six heats in the go with but three
entries in this race. Such record has
rarely been made on this track and is an
unusual thing for any track.

cached the numbers of former years. the
uality was the equal of any fair, and the
were busy much of the time
lowing off the good points.
