OWLS CARNIVAL
TO OPEN MONDAY

Gayly colored autographs in show
windows and on billboards herald the
| coming to New Britain of Firms Over
| land shows for a weeks stay on the
! Vibberts lot, Stanley street, beginning
Monday next, for the benefit of the
| men and lady nests of Owls.
Comprised of all feature attractions,
Firms shows promise innumerable
surprises for pleasure seekers. They
make up the largest carnival likely to
be seen this or any other season in
New England, the different forms Of
wholesome amusement being numer-
Gus and diversified. Questionable and
time-worn so-called features never
had place under the Finn banner,
and women and children unaccom-
panied by male escorts may freely
walk about the carnival grounds and
visit any or all of the shows with
out the slightest fear Of being sub
iected to other than the most polite
courtesy and entertainment offerings
of the highest caliber.
When the carnival has taken pos
session of the Nibberts lot and is
ready to open, first to greet the eye
of visitors will be the three-a breast
1umping-horse carouselle, a $4,000
machine, which will be in operation
early and late. Down the mulu-color
midway will be found that wonder
riding device. the whip, the thrills of
which are certain to prove a source
Of rare delight. At another point will
be the silodrome, within the perpen-
dicular walls of which fly the motor
cycle racers at a pace seemingly in
viting death.
The circus sideshow, with its freaks
Of nature and curiosities. is bound to
attrac ct it's quota Of patrons, and the
same may be said of the monkey
speedway with it's cute little four
footed animal auto drivers. Hawaiian
Village, In the Trenches Underground
Chinatown and Over the Top are
features new this year Then, there
will be Sam Andersons Roman hip
podrome, within which are to be wit
messed the sports of ancient Rome and
of today.
OF course, there will be an array of
booths and stands which go to make
up a first class carnival, and last but
by no manner of means least, Will be
exhibited the worlds most expensive
free act, presented by The Helkvists,
hailed here and abroad as 1.-The hu-
man torches and fire diving demons"
The couple will perform all kinds OF
diving stunts from a tiny platform, IS
feet above the ground. into a small
canvas tank every afternoon during
the week, and every evening they will
pull off the big feature, that Of dodg-
ing death. This they accomplish by
elm bling to the apex of their tower, ,
igniting their clothing and, with their
bodies a roaring blaze. diving into a
furiously burning pit Of gasoline. This
feature is given in the open air, is
free to everybody who cares to view |
it, and sends spectators home puzzled |
to understand how the man and wom- |

SIDE TALKS
That Enemy-Haste

Someone was telling us the other
day about the heating system estah-
lished in a large factory.
The system had heated the factory
very successfully, but it had not been
installed in the most economical way,
and experts estimated that hundreds
of tons Of coal could have been saved
by more carefully thought out
system.
Think of Wasting Coal.
OF course, everyone, was Mortified
at the waste of anything so infinite

INTOLERANCE ENDS
BIG RUN AT FOX'S

'Tntolerance" continues to be the
| talk of New Britain, and the verdict
of Yesterdays crowds was unanimous
in that Grff1ths colossal spectacle is
the most marvellous sight in the
world, a, production that once seen
will never be forgotten. 1t is esti-
mated that "Intolerance' has already
been seen by eight million people in
this country, and at present is being
presented in London, England, and
Sydney and Melbourne, Australia. Mr.
d. w, Griffith acquired such a repu-
tation in England after the presen-
tation of "Intolerance" that he was
given an official pass signed by King
George emitting him to visit any
part Of the Allied battle front, to
enable him to collect material for his
latest picture. Intolerance" will be
shown at Tox's for the last time to-
day, and should not be missed as in
all possibilities its equal will never
be seen.
