indication that all races will be filled
with starters each day. The list of en-
tries will be issued tomorrow.
Twenty-Five Cars of Fairyland at Fair.
In all the word implies, our dreams
have come true. In our childhood we
have read about Aladdin and his won
derful lamp, as we'll as the Arabian
Nights. We have these two great works
Of fiction depicted in realism next
week in the form of Clifton-Kelley
mammoth shows with colossal stu
pendOusness, covering an area of six
acres of ground and featuring galaxy
of stars in the amusement field, con-
sisting of some Of the worlds greatest
features of highly moral nature on
this particular point. With this aggre-
cation will be found clean, refined
bunch of show people. You cannot find
one proposition with this aggregation
that would give Offense in any shape
or form. The evidence lies in the fact
that the shows with this carnival will
get their share of patronage from the
best people in Watertown. If you fail
to attend this mammoth establishment
of real clean, harmless fun, you have
missed real treat. Remember that
you have but six days to view this, so
do not fail to give your patronage at
least three nights and days at the fair
grounds, but remember all the shows
and riding devices will open at 7 p. m
Monday night, but the fair will open
on Tuesday.
ry fourteen big attractions this year,
heading the bill with the Wilson wild
animal circus with group Of lions,
leOpards, pumas, bears and horses,
and is said by both press and public
to be one of the best group of lions ap-
pearing before the American public to-
day. The other attractions are among
the best in the outdoor show world.
The concessions are all clean and
up to date, and taken as a whole the
Clifton-Kelley shows are the best on
the road and will be feature at the
fair. This is the second county fair
this company has ever played, and will
jump from here right into the big state
fairs in the south. A stop. may be made
