From Thursdays Daily


Captain Jack Payne gives real
thriller at the Baraboo fair, plunges
110 feet into tank OF water AT
night the tank is illuminated and the
drop, is all the more sensational.
The Flying Fishers were with the
Barnum & Bailey show for eight
years. Their act is attractive.
Baader and the Cycling beauties,
the Harters in thssr double trapeze,
and the other attractions in front of
the grand stand are all that can be
expected.
Acme Fireworks
The fireworks are the best obtain
able. There are boomers, fizzers, and
all sorts of unexpected things. Some
of the designs are really fine, worth
going miles to see. In the battleship
scene, two Illuminated crafts fire at
each other, a real night spectacle.
More Money For Fair
Last winter the legislature provid
ed the maximum aid for fairs should
be $1,000 double the previous
amount. This year the premiums were
greatly increased on cattle exhibits
by Secretary Pelton and this accounts
for the large display of cattle. The
fair never had so much fine stock.

(From Fridays Daily
There was plenty of rain at the
fair on Friday, especially morning
and evening. During the afternoon,
between showers, the vaudeville pro
gram was given, also the automobile
races for foreign cars. The track was
SO heavy the time was not more than
about 80 or 35 miles an hour. Three
machines did the spinning. No ball
game was played on Thursday or
Friday.
Friday night the program was alb
breviated on account of the rain.
Out of the Mud
The rain fell in such abundance on
Friday morning Teritab1e INLAND
sea was formed near the west gate.
A rocket came down on the tent
occupied by the cars from the Phil.
brick garage and hole remains.
The flight of the Fishers through
the air was no trick at all compared
with pedestrians ploWing through the
mud.
During the excitement a lone snipe
was poking his senitive bill in the
mud at the edge of the pond near the
west gate. Strange a bird Of this
family should seek meal amid such
a hub-bub.

became lost and a meeting was hello
at the court of Judge Adolph Andre
to determine the rightfui owners o.
