MANY FEATURES

UNUSUAL FEATURES FOR THE
"TRAIL"-ExHI5ITS GATHERED
FROM ALL PARTS OF THE
GLOBE,

"The World at Home will furnish
the amusement attractions for the
North Dakota State fair in this city
July 20-25.
w. A. Powers the special representa-
tive of The World at Home who was
In h city yesterday, said: "Showmen.
as a rule, are prone to the use Of ok
~travagant terms and adjectives in de-
scribing their attractions. Without
straining a point. or without any de-
sire to appear fulsome, I can confident
ly assure you that The World at Home
is without a doubt the most remark
able assemblage of diversified enter
talnment ever brought together in one
organization in this country. 1t may
not be out of place to inform you that
the projectors OF The World at Home
are men of well-nigh unlimited fnan-
c1al resources; besides that, they are
men who have spent a lifetime In
evolving entertainment for the people.
Were I to describe in detail all of the
various features of The World at
home. 1t would require much more
space than you could conveniently af-
tord, but to sum it up in a few words,
we have gathered together from all
parts OF the universe unique exhibit
lions, novel entertainment and pleas
Ing amusement, such as perhaps, has
never been before presented to an out
door amusement enterprise. Let me
picture The Plaza of Pleasure of The
World at Home at night. Myriads Of
electric lights bursting forth in all
their effulgent radiance. Search lights
illuminating the upper heavens, bands
of music filling the air with melody;
riding devices loaded with hundreds
Of folk seeking ex~hilarating sensations;
mystical shows waiting the ozone from
the orient; sensational exhibitions to
stir the blood in ones veins; in fact,
a fairyland of joy.
THE old stereotyped form of carni-
val entertainment is a thing Of the
past, and The World at Home manage
ment has realized that fact, with the
result that at the fair will be RECALLED
with a form Of amusement, which is
ultra modern. In other words, it will
be different from that which has been
heretofore presented in this COM
munity. To list all of the attractions
of The World at Home and describe
them in detail would require columns
Of space. but l may mention a few Of
SAASAA' Hd1uSA VI EAl1dIlJ oil CA

something of interest for everybody all
the time. Not a dull moment from the
time the exhibition opens until it's
close"
