DANBURY FAIR OPENS
 ON OCTOBER FOURTH

The grand stand platform attrac- tions at the Danbury Fair, which, by the way, opens Monday, October {, for the week, arc to be of the same high class as in former years. Among tho acts will be that of the Azimas, a troupe of sky high" Hippodrome acrobats, doing a double ioop-the- loop. Next in order will be the rol- Ter skating bear, a performance that is said to go ahead ot any animal act ever shown at the fair. The Hamil- ton Brothers follow with a comedy sketch in two parts, entitled the Laughing Riotcrs.' Then in order come the Four Ncvsomes, spring board acrobats, in another HippoF drome act; Hampton's Dog Circus and the Australian wood choppers.
 The dog circus and the wood chop pers are feature acts of more than the usual prominence. "Old Doctor" Hamilton, as he chooses to be called, is probably the oldest exhibitor of educated dogs, as he is the most prominent now on tho stage. He is< the originator of many surprising acts in connection with his dog circus and this performance will appeal to the children.
 The Australian wood choppers, two in number. do the most remarkable things with axes, splitting hairs' nt a distance of twenty feet. The hairs in this case arc lath. suspended in the air or stationary. The chips fly at a most astonishing rate when they SUiolI .hair n xunnn qhnrDfua contests between themselves. This is said to be the highest priced grand stand attraction, considering the number of performers, that the Dan- bury Fair has ever staged.

In the apart ment below the Hawkinses live Am anda and Andrew Larkin--wedded after the first act of the play. He, poor dear is innocent and faithful -she finds it hard to believe.
 It does not require the soul of a prophet to see that once the tenor came home too exhilarated to know one apartment from another, and so got by mistake, into the other, the complications were fit to the play wright's hand. Not a chance for rapid fire situation was overlooked. Not a piece of chara erization was omitted.
