the proprietor, has been showing in

he gave liberal donation.
Mr.. and Mrs. Corey (Mrs. Corey
travelling with him as business man
ager) are people of superior char
acter, and their entire performance
reflects their personality. All his
riding devices are strictly up-to-date
and his concessions are both legiti-
mate and above criticism The peo-
pie who travel with him are above
the average and any organization or
society wishing to contract with Mr..
Corey, will find that he is a man of
his word, strictly business like, and
in no way will discredit the institu-
tion under whose supervision he is
working.
am glad to lend this endorsement
which has been given unsolicited.
Cordially yours,
(Signed) John G.. Schaibly.
Minister of the Church.
Company K is to give an exhibition
drill and sham battle on the after

after one o'clock, and the men have
been drilling overtime for two weeks
in preparation.
The health clown Polo will be on
the grounds on Saturday to enter
tain the children. He will give two
performances, one in the morning,
and two in the afternoon. His head
quarters are to be in the Red Cross

of the Administration building, and
back of the grandstand. He will
weigh and measure the children in
the booth, assisted by Miss Labrie,
Q and other women. The space in front
of the booth is to be roped in, so
there will be no danger of any of the
children getting lost, while they are
being entertained by the clown.

Cross booth, and women interested in
the subject can obtain information
