High-Class Program.
The entertainment program, so far as
arranged for by the fair management, is
a big one and Of an unusual variety
Although it is still an event of the distant
future enough interest among the citi-
zens of Brown County may be antici-
pated to warrant the publication of part
of the program at this early date. The
greater the interest among the popula-
ton in our County Fair the greater
the success of the undertaking. And to
stimulate this interest is the purpose
OF this article.
Three big features of the program are
known SO far, according to an announce
mentby w. E. Engebert, secretary of
the Brown County Agricultural Society
They are large and varied number of
free vaudeville acts, an unusually splendid
exhibition Of fireworks and big baseball
tournament during fair days. The last
feature is something entirely new on the
tair program, but it is certain, to prove
attractive to fair visitors and Mr.. Engel-
bert states that he will make it as big an
affair in the sporting life of the county
as possible All teams in this part of
the state will be invited to participate.
IL Vaudeville Acts.
To get first-class performers is the
paramount idea with the local fair
management in arranging for the various
free acts to be shown in front of the
grand stand. The cost of the program
figures only as secondary consideration.
This policy assures Brown County Fair
visitors the best that can be had in the
line of vaudeville acts. The contract
closed with the Western Vaudeville
Managers Association of Chic go calls
for eleven free acts at a total cost of
$1,000.
Five troupes consisting of Is people,
8 women and Z men, will put on the
attractions. These troupes with their
acts are as follows: +
Lindman-Nelson Troupe, consisting
OF ladies and 2 men, who in three
different acts introduce the most daring
acrobatic stunts ever shown Especially
noteworthy are their ladder novelties.
The Crane Family which also consists
OF four people. men and 1 lady belong
to this troupe. Their main attraction
is in the line Of comedy. They are
"vaulters and barrel jumpers of a high
class as they are called in the advance
announcement.
The Three Weber Girls are next in
line. No vaudeville act could have
better reputation than these three young
ladies who are described as dainty,
versatile gymnastic madcaps.' They are
sure OF success wherever they make
their appearance.
Coriel and Company are in class
with the most daring and sensational
performers of the modern vaudeville
stage. Their great feature is the death.
defying head slide over wire from
great height. The troupe consists of
one lady and one man.
Sankus and Sylvers are noted Euro
pean comiques who introduce ur-to-
the-minute outdoor features. They are
sure to make big hit with the audience.
All these troupes and acts are booked
for both the afternoon and evening per-
fornances on Tuesday and Wednesday
of fair week.
Mammoth Fireworks.
One Of the big features of the Fair
will be the fireworks program in the
evening on Tuesday and Wednesday,
August 81 and September ], respectively.
The contract has been closed with the
North-American Fireworks Company Of
Chicago In a round sum the cost to
the local fair organization for this part
of the program will be 1000. For

furnish twenty set pieces and about

to surpass anything ever seen at local
