of the Schofieldamusicians. There will
be small general admission charged

include free admission to all the ex-

the evening. In addition to the many
booths for selling candy, pop corn,
hot corn on the cob, hot dogs, lemon
ade and every other kind of county
fair refreshment there will be mod
ern cafe chantante with the best
things to eat and the best cabaret this
side of Broadway. For the use of any
one who wants to make himself solid
with any of the high personages COM

for hire for serenade purposes. The
band will be entirely made up of army
officers and can be hired entire or by
the piece.
