The Fireworks
There is something new in the fire
works line this year and a large crew of
fireworks experts were preparing for the
exhibition, which will be repeated every
night during the fair.
The mammoth spectacular display of
Porry's victory on Lake Erie is repro
duced by means of thousands of yards
of line oil painted scenery, with mina-
ture war vessels mechanically con-
structed and in the appropriate design
of the war craft of that period. They
are arranged so as to maneuver, as
though in real action, with guns mount
ed on decks and in the gun turrets which
are seen to belch forth sheets of fire
during the battle action. The scene de-
picts Put-in-Bay and vicinity on Lake
Erie, where the famous battle was
fought and where for the first and only
time the whole British squadron was put
and forced to surrender. Perr's Sham
Battle will be given in addition to the
regular display of fireworks, which will
consist of a different program three eve
nings.
Dance Exhibition

ing Mrs. Warner NJ. Leeds, who gave

no attractions, for the fair closed at
sunset will this year be one of the
iiTliest in the whole week. A clerks
ball will be held in the auditorium to
which the public is invited This should
prove grand success socially as we'll
rs financially for there is seldom
