THE EVENING PROGRAM
During the evening, of Thursday
might, the fair grounds were visited
BY throngs of people and happy,
good natured crowd it was There
was everything to amuse and the bril-
liantly lighted park, with its festive
decorations, literally seethed with
people. Big crowds watched the
vaudeville features and these perform
ers from the Keith Circuit pleased the
people immensely. They acted be-
tween races during the day and in
the evening gave a complete enter
tainment. The funny clown was on
hand during the show to amuse the
people, along with the other enter
tainers and in the closing act on the
stage, gave a wonderful demonstra-
ton, with three others in hoop roll
ing. 1t was a marvel to see him
handle the rings and make them do
Just what he wanted them to do,
bouncing from one rope to another,
twirling them and throwing them,
assisted by members of his company
in all sorts of intricate fashions.
The acrobats put on some wonderful
stunts, two men and woman, while
the roller skate man and woman did
some most unusual tricks dancing
and swinging, the woman making a
startling appearance as she was
swung by her head, round and round
by her male assistant. company
of trained ponies and dogs amused
the audience and the band played for
one OF the ponies to dance, while the
act was closed by the appearance of
vicious mule, who kicked and bit
two of the men In the company to tn
great delight of the younger people
in the audience. How the men stood
1t is mystery but the vicious brute
became mild as a kitten when APP
preached by the lady trainer. The
performance ended with the high dive
act, during which the crowd held its
breath and splendid display of fire
works, including many unusual set
pieces. The Citizens Band played
during the performance, adding much
to the night program

In the exhibition building there
were also crowds of people for st.
Cecilia Orchestra furnished delight
full concert under the leadership of
Prof. Kendall The stage was erect
ed at the north end of the exhibition
nan; never have these musicians made,
-a-betteF- than ON this oc-.
casion. Many fingered around, the
radio booth listening to various pro-
grams, while the wonderful exhibits
came in for their share of attention
and the booths of Skowhegan bust
ness firms were much admired
Along the midway there was every
thing to amuse and the shows and
vendors were we'll patronized. The
ferris wheel the whip, the merry-go-
round the merry mix-up and other at
fractions added life to the midway
and brilliantly lighted were watched
by many, who did not participate.
Thursday was great day at Fair
view Park.
