The STATE FAIR
The Management Has Provided
Numerous Attractions
FOR SEPT. 6. Z. 8. 9 AND 10

FOK SEPT. 6, Z, 8, 9 AND 10
1t appears from the following list of
free attractions which the management
of the Delaware State Fair has provided
for the big Fair of 1915, which will be
held at Wilmington on September 6, Z,
8, and 10, both day and night, that
the directors have been more than
liberal in their appropriation to this de-
partment
The bill provides for an outlay of
money that would appall a more timid
management, but profiting by the en-
couraging returns of the past two
years, the directors have greatly added
to the expenditures for this most
popular form Of entertainment.
This outlay was partly necessitated
from the fact that the fair also will be
held at night this year and the directors
determined upon giving the thousands
of working people of Wilmington who
are unable to attend during the day an
oppor tunity of seeing Delaware's
greatest show without the loss of any
time, and yet provide them with show
that would do credit to the great vaude-
vile theatre.
ASIDE from the ten big acts here
given on the big bill, there will be a
nightly display of fireworks, the pro-
gram of which comprises some numbers
and the International Fireworks Co.,
which is to furnish this portion of the
evening show, stands back of its accred-
| tied reputation of supplying a really
magnificent exhibit.
A feature of the ten big acts will be
the appearance of the famous Ernes-
tomian-Novikotf Troupe, the sensation
al feature with the Barnum & Bailey
circus during its long stay at the Madi-
son Square Garden last season.
This act was booked to appear here
last season, but the management of the
fair agreed to cancellation in order to
permit the act to continue with the big
circus, upon the agreement of its posi-
tive appearance here this year.
| Another feature and one entirely new
to this section of the country is Max's
International Burlesque Circus, and the
claim that is made for it of being the
Ringing Bros. Barnum & Bailey of all
comedy animal acts is well established.
Prof. Max employs his famous buck
ing mule, a high-school mule, two
ponies, a horse, dogs, two cats and a
rooster, together with ten working
people in an exhibition that will set
the old as well as the young 'kiddies'
talking for months to follow.
The Loretta Twin Sisters. perfect
gymnasts, the only female triple hori-
zontal bar performers in the world, are
quite sure of creating furore.
A special added attraction will be the
Marriott Troupe of five people, includ-
ing the famous Marriott Twins, in the
most daring, thrilling, sensational cycle,
vehicle and monoplane novelty ever de-
vised. The act features the 10th CEN
tury sensation, the only girl in the
world riding the propeller of mono
plane while revolving at lightning
speed and flirting with death.
One of the comedy features of the
bill is the act of the famous Herbert
Bros. in their new and original artistic
pantomimic creation.
The Louvans will be seen in their
most wonderful performance of novel
and astonishing feats on a single strand
of wire.
Sato, the worlds greatest impersona-
tor always big feature of the Trenton
Fair, will be seen here for the first
time.
Will Robbins, who had so many adj
mirers at the fair last year, will again
sing. He will render a new program
of the popular songs.
An acrobatic comedy, ''The Rising
Generation, will be offered by the
Rose Troupe, while the Boy Wonder
Billy Klein, will be seen in his 1OO-foot
dive for life, a most sensational fea-
ture.
These ten big acts, together with the
magnificent display of fireworks and
the organized carnival of twenty shows
on the midway. should serve to crowd
the fair grounds both night and day.
