with breath-taking stunts added to the
regular horse racing and entertainment
program. Among them will be Captain
Frakes in the most daring feat he has
ever undertaken. His burning house
crash of last year will be dwarfed' by
what he is going to attempt to do at
the North Montana State fair grounds
this year.
Captain Frakes will fly his plane at a
high altitude, participate in a dog
fight in midair with another ship, fall
crash in a grove of trees planted on the
infield. And if he is lucky, he will live
to tell the story. Certainly the stunt is
much more daring and much o
dangerous than anything he has ever
attempted before; and it is a brand new
thrill to offer any crowd, because it
is the first time it has ever been at
tempted.
Miss Jean DeLuca, the girl sensation
of last years thrill program, will take
her life in her hands and deliberately
j%ack-knife the front wheels of a speed
ing automobile to throw it into a series
of complete Followers in front of the
grandstand and bleacher crowds. The
only protection she will wear will be a
helmet, and the only precaution she
will take will be that she is strapped
20 the seat. In case of fire the latter
might even prove a handicap.
In addition, the regular afternoon
entertainment features will be given
on Thrill day. You will see seven fast
horse races, a balloon ascension, para
chute Jump, and stage, track and in
.ciald offerings.
But it is not only Thrill day, but
every day of the North Montana State
fair and National Hereford show that
commands your attendance. Starting
with School day. next Monday, there's
something sensational to do or see every
minute of the time.
