The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1920-09-16


at the new fair grounds east of Jules
burg Wednesday, September 18th, and
there is no doubt but the 1920 fall
festival will be the biggest in history
both from the standpoint Of attend
ance and exhibits and amusements
Wednesday. the first day, the attend.
ance was over twice that recorded the
first day last year. The new grand,
stand was well filled and the bleach
ers also Accommodated fair-sized
crowd.
The first days program was good
and went of in good shape. The only
disappointment was the failure of the
Nays Alabama Troubadours to make
their appearance, but the management
of the fair association inform us that
this troupe of musicians, singers,
dancers and comedians will be on hand
for the second days afternoon pro-
gram. The program for the first day
consisted of = one-fourth mile pony
running race, $500 purse; county
relay race. $500 purse; one-haf mile
free-for-all running race, $l25.00
purse; free-for-all relay race, $4,000
purse; novelty running race, $4,000
purse, $4,000 each quarter; twenty
mile Ford stock car race, $4,000
purse.
One big feature Of the afternoon
program was the daring and thrilling
feats performed by Dare Devil Dun
can and the flying by George Myers,
both Of the North Platte Aircraft
company. they doing stunts in the
air which were entirely new and orig
mated by these aeronauts. These
daredevil" stunts compelled the
crowd to hold their breath. The whole
program was far in excess of the ex-
pectations of everybody.
The Sedgwick Concert Band enter
tained the crowd at various intervals
with good musical selections. This
organization will be on the job for the
three days.
There is a grand array of exhibits
Of various kinds, this feature being
better than ever this year. The fair
association has arranged splendid
quarters at the new grounds for the
exhibits which will add materially
to the success Of this years fall festi-
val. Over S4800.OO is being offered
in premiums and purses. Truly the
1920 Fair has brought forth the best
display of all kinds of farm products,
live stock and woman's department
exhibits ever shown in this section,
and the citizens of Sedgwick county
and fair visitors should by all means
not fail to carefully inspect these.
A large tent has been erected just
west Of the grandstand and num-
