MANY EXHIBITS.


Present indications are that the .51st
annual Brown County Fair, which will
be held at the Fair Grounds in New
Ulm, Monday, Tuesday and Wednes-
day, August %, 80 and ,31st, will be
the biggest event of its kind in the
history of the Brown County Agrieul-
tural Society. The Fair management
has decided to start the second half Of
the century with a monster show, such
as this section Of the state has never
|before witnessed, and perusal of the
big program which has already been
decided upon and the additional fea-
lures that are being contemplated, will
convince the most skeptical of the
truth of this statement.
Large Amusement Company.
This year has proved one of the
most trying for secretaries of county
fairs and similar undertakings, for it
has been exceedingly difficult to book
high class attractions. One of the
reasons for this difficulty is the high
freight rates and the great expense for
large amusement concerns to make long
hauls. Since early this summer, Sec
rotary William A. Lindemann Of the
Brown County Fair has been lin cons
slant touch with some Of the leading
companies who furnish entertainment
at county fairs, but not until last week
was he able to secure a contract with
the Capital City Amusement Company,
one of the sbest in the country. This
concern carries q large ferris wheel.
an iup-to- date ,merry-go round, several
high class tented attractions and from
20 to425 concessions. This blocking is
in line with the past policy of the Fair
management to spare no expense in
providing the very best kind of enter
tainment for Fair visitors.
Exciting Auto Polo.
= Another worthwhile sbooking is the
exciting auto polo contest, in which
four specially constructed cars and
| eight men will participate. This fea-
ture will be staged by the North
western Auto Polo Association, which
has put on quite a number sof highly
satisfactory exhibitions in Northern
Minnesota cities. Secretary Linde-
mann has received letters commencing
this association and stating that their
[exhibition is Of a high order. The auto
| polo contest will be staged on Tuesday
and Wednesday afternoon Of the Goun-
| ty Fair. There are many thrills and
lexciting plays in this performance
(which lasts from 80 to As minutes. .
Flying Circus Possible.
The Fair Management lis at present
contemplating booking a big flying cir
Gus for the two last days of the County
Fair, and it is very probable that this
Lbig attraction will be secured. The
daredevil flyers composing this high
class circus do all Of the latest hair
rising stunts, such as wing walking,
[rope ladder acrobatics below the air
sEplanes, parachute drops from a high
,Eof 1900 to 1000 feet, Imnelmann
Turns and many other thrilling aero
nautics. This bin alone will be well
i worth the price Of admission.
! Baseball in the .offing.
/ Another feature that is being con-
i stemplated and which will please the
baseball fans, are two diamond events
between New sUlm and other crack
mines. The arrangements flor this fea-
l'ture are not quite complete, but it is
practically assured.
4 The famous 'Hofmeister Band has
lfbeen engaged to furnish music both
afternoon and evenings Of the last
1.-TWO Fair Days.
1 Big Free Attractions.
i Secretary Lindemann can congratu-
4 Iate himself on the exceptional success
!. lin securing high class free attractions
flor the 1921 Brown County Fair, in
view Of the fact that it has been very
4 difficult Ito book entertainments Of
fthis kind. Seven free acts ARE on
this years Fair program and each of
sftbem lis Of a high sorder, furnishing
slpenty Of clean and Wholesome samuse-
lment for Fair visitors. Hheseiree acts
