dangerous feats there. Another
member of the trio has a splendid
juggling routine in which he uses
three small sticks and a solid ball,
using all four objects in a very
dexterous manner. Then two of
the Havana Japs go through a
series of barrel kicking on pedes-
tails, at which they are extremely
adept, spinning the barrel around
in various positions all in time
with the music, then tossing the
object from one to the other.
Quite a good deal of refined humor
is injected into the offering, re-
lieving the more serious spots.
Rodeo Hippodrome
There is not a man of vaster
Rodeo experience than "Cy"
Compton, known as the King of
Cowboys, who was one of the or
iginal wild Bunch" on the old
Buffalo Bill outfit, and who for the
past few years has produced the
Wild West numbers with the Ring
ling Brothers Barnum and Bailey
Circus, and for this reason is the
ideal man to produce real, high
class rodeo-hippodrome. "Cy'' is
ably assisted by the famous cow
boy clown, Jack Hughes. Their
program will run the whole gamut
of sports and pastimes of the Wild
West, comprising bucking horse
kicking, wild steer riding, trick
and fancy roping, Roman stand
ing races, chariot races, trick rid
ing, high school horses, high jump
ing horses, calf roping, steer bull
dogging. Each event is entered
into by a troupe of champion cow
boys and cowgirls. AS an added
attraction they present their Sem
mole Indian Village. The Semin-
oles are beyond doubt the shyest
of all Indian tribes and are seldom
seen by white men, for as the
white man advances so does the
Seminole retreat into the swampy
fastness of the Everglades and
this is the first known time that
these aborigines have ever con-
sented to appear at public ex-
hibition of any kind.

tension Service will make an

Through the cooperation of the
directors of the Fair Association
eight lucky Delaware All Club
members will receive pure-bred
heifer dairy calves during the
week of the Fair. These calves
will be given to All club members
during the week of the Fair These
calves will be given to All club
members in each of the three
counties who sell the greatest
number of special trip tickets of
admission to the Fair during the
period of the contest which ex-
tends from June 18th to July 9th.
Calves will be awarded to each of
the three club members in both
Kent and Sussex counties who sell
the greatest number of tickets
and to the two club members in
New Castle county who have the
highest sale. The directors of the
Fair have always been strong sup
porters of 4-H Club work among
the farm boys and girls of Della
ware and have given them the
privilege of conducting this ticket
selling contest in order to encour-
age a greater interest among boys
and girls in the ownership of pure
bred dairy animals. During the
last two years seventeen calves
have been awarded in similar con-
tests and the lucky owners expect
to exhibit them at the Fair this
year.
