cluded its season last evening with

coaches and athletes that has ap-

WAR SPECTACLE is PROCURED
FOR FAIR.

Advance notices Of "The War Of
Nations" to be shown at the State
Fair of Texas, Oct 3 to %, proclaim
this the greatest pyrotechnical d|play

witness a spectacle as beautiful as it is

No thought is more uppermost in
the minds Of the American people to-
day than the terrible struggle across
the sea- and the entrance Of the
United States into the conflict brings
US to a realization that our sons and
loved ones may soon be in the very
thick Of the fighting. With this in
mind the creators Of "The Waf or Ma

America a portrayal Of the spectacu-
lar side of the combat
''By the immense crowds which at
tended last year it was clearly demon
strated that patrons of the fair are
highly in favor Of high-class fire
works Recognizing this, we adopted
the time honored principle Of the fair
management of looking only for the
best to be procured and in "The War
Of Nations it is our judgment that
we have selected the greatest display
of the kind that has ever been Of
fered."

In addition to the nightly display of
fireworks. a program of events has
been arranged to be given before the
grand stand each afternoon and night
during the fair Feature acts from
some Of the largest theatres Of the
world and circus numbers that have
pleased millions of people have been
procured to make up program Of
