Last Night Of The
Fire Company Carnival

The PoIack Brothers Carnival,
which has been the big event in the
amusement line this week, Will come
to close in a blaze of glory tonight,
as the Rescue Fire Company Com
mittee, who have charge of the in
teresting event, has arranged many
pleasing features for the closing of
the festivities. The show has been
by far the best and most successful
carnival ever held in this city, and
has given splendid satisfaction, for
the Polack shows have been conduc-
ted on high-class lines and the line
of attractions offered were above
the kind usually offered by these
travelling organizations. All the
shows are new and up-to-date and
the beautiful Electric Fountain was
one of the best features of the event,
and is marvellous display of cleo
tricity, fire works, and colored wa
ter presented by a company of Ia
dies and gentlemen, and excellent
music is furnished, adding much
tone to the attraction.
All of the attractions, tents and
concession booths were crowded 70
capacity all week, and the ferris
wheel, the whip and the popular
submarine, had to work overtime 10
| take care of the joy riders.
The spectators who care for eX-
element have their wish fully salts
! fed, then they watch the daredevil
male and female riders dash madly
around the steep banked track and
| the wonder is that they avoid acct
| dents, is there are often three and
| four riders on the narrow track at
| the same time and at times the rid
erS come so close together that 1t
| seems almost impossible for them 10
| keep from smashing into each other.
| The riders are all experts at the
! game and seem to enjoy the sport
| and are always willing to take chan
| ces especially when they are encour-
aged by lots of applause.
The grounds will be open all day.
and no admission is charged, only to
| the attractions and rides.-Adv.
