There will be wonderful program

The program is diversified one, and
the attractions are some Of the best
ever offered. 1t is up to every body
in the community to help make the
fair success, and with the elegant
program outlined, we cannot predict
anything but tremendous success
for it this year, and among some
of the amusement features will be:
Sumuri, the japanese wonder, in
a marvellous performance of water
spinning and barrel kicking.
The two IGNORES, introducing their
own and original flying ladder
novelty, performing sensational feats
of aerial gymnastics on the flying
ladder.
Prince Hoshi, the Japanese dare
devil, one of the greatest sensational
attractions which the fowery king
dom has sent to this country, per-
forming miraculous slide of death, on
special apparatus. Prince Hoshi will
use beautiful fire works displays dur
ing night performances. For extreme
daring this attraction stands alone.
The Aerial Christensens, Americas
greatest high double trapeze novelty,
introducing rapid-fire routine of
lightning trapeze gymnastics on APP
paratus towering high in the air, con-
cluding thair perfolrsanc, with sem
sationai break away arop or death.
Thalero's Circus, European animal
novelty--the fastest dog and pony
show ever brought to this country.
The troupe of dogs in this attraction
are Fox Terriers, and they intro
duce ground somersaults, also somer-
saults from the backs of the ponies.
One of the big laughing features OF
the act consists of the stage coach,
drawn by four Fox Terriers, running
at full speed around the ring, and
one wire-haired Irish terrier, running
in the opposite direction, making
leap from the front dogs head back
over the top of the stage coach.
Another big feature is the stage
coach, pulled by two dogs, followed
by fiat wagon running after IT,
one dog making front somersault
to the fiat wagon, the dogs thus
changing places The climax OF
Thalero's performance is "a whirl-
wind finish, the pony running at full
tilt around the ring with a monkey
sitting on it's launches, and the en-
tire troupe of CANNES jumping from
the mat to the top of the ponies
backs. Thalero' Circus is different
from all other dog and pony shows
and will be one of the features at
the Iowa and Minnesota State Fairs
this season.
1t can readily be seen that this
star program of attractions together
with other forms of amusement, VIII
make a visit to this years fair to
Decorah, Iowa, more than worth
