No expense or effort has been spared
to secure the finest attractions available
for the vaudeville program to be pre-
sented at the Valley fair on Tuesday
and Wednesday. the 26th and 9th of
this month. c. L. Stickney. president of
the fair association, made the final ar
rangements today, and contracts
have been closed with the B. f. Keith
Vaudeville Exchange of Boston for five
acts which represent the best on the
circuit
It has always been the policy of the
falr management to secure only those
vaudeville attractions which measure up
mendations which have been received
this year the vaudeville acts to be pre-
sented at the coming fair viii far sur
pass all previous exhibitions.
There will be five acts, and the pro-
gram VIII be presented twice daily be-
tween the racing heats. The attractions
are headed by the Canton Five. a group
of five Chinese. three men and two
women, who present a startling and
spectacular Chinese variety act Intri-
cate juggling, in which the Orientals
are adepts, as well as fire-eating and
hanging by their cues are only few of
the stunts with which the troupe will
mystify the audience. The performers
are very beautifully costumed. and judg-
ing by the laurels which this quintet
has won at other exhibitions this act
will be Il prominent feature of the pro-
gram.
Gordon Brothers and the Boxing Kan
garoO will be awaited with interest and
curiosity by everyone who is planning to
attend the fair. The great attraction in
this act is, of course, the kangaroo,
which it may be said is a real, rare,
live kangaroo. This is the first time that
any such trained animal has been Sc
cured for the Valley fair, and this part
of the program Is sure to make big
hit.
Peters and Lebuff viii appear in a
| comic acrobatic act in which these per-
formers are high lights in their nrofes-
sion Some of the best aerial work ever
seen at a fair will be presented by these
two comedians.
Reckless Duo and Sylvia is the title
of mystifying act which is said to be
thrilling to the last degree. 1t consists
of several daredevil stunts which are
new to the vaudeville stage, and Is GER
tain to be one of the feature acts or the
program.
The last act will be performed by the
two Butchers. novelty especially
adapted for presentation at county fairs.
Instead of being presented on the regu-
lar vaudeville stage, this performance
will take place on the track I'm front OF
the grandstand An explanation of TINS
act would not be opportune as 1t has
several surprises which must not be re
leased until actually presented 1t VIII
suffice to say that the act Is quite wide
i'm scope. two horses being necessary Tor
the presentation.

LEAVES DRY WOOD
FOR NEXT CAMPERS
Party at Free Auto Camp Also Writes
Explanatory Message-Sets Good
ExamDIe for Others

An evidence Of good sportsmanship,
courtesy, and a, knowledge of woodscraft
is shown by the following impromptu
message left Mt the free automobile camp
mt Broad brook. Some wood had been
left under one of the tables and this note
was nailed to it:
We left this wood so don't forget
The other fellow who comes in wet.
Leave some good dry wood for him,
Otherwise his chances for fire are slim.
1t was signed by w. c. Aggers. +. H

If all campers would show this spirit
there would never be any trouble in run
ming a camp and all campers would en-
ioy the automobile camp more. The
above attitude is much appreciated by
the Outing club.
