Excellent Program.
A fine grandstand program has
been booked by the fair board, con-
sisting of four troupes in six high
class circus acts.
The De Waldo Duo, famous cyclists,
present an act that is thrilling from
start to finish. Their acts include
clever work on the unicycle, the BIZ
cycle and juggling while riding a
unicycle on taut wires. The De Waldo
Duo has appeared on Shrine circuses
over the United States and are vet
Grams before Canadian audiences.
An act that will especially appeal
to the children is Miss Henerson's
performing dogs. Her act includes
six of the most clever CANNES to ap-
pear in public, in wonder working,
acrobatic, wire-walking and dancing.
The Great Echo in trapeze act is
an artist in his line. He concludes
his act on his head on a revolving
trapeze. This is an exceptional diff
ficult novelty.
A feature of the program is The
Yoshidas, Japanese troupe in two
big acts. They do all kinds of feet
juggling, perch balancing, etc.
Pat Kuss to Wrestle.
A feature of the entertainment
again this year will be the wrest-
ling show, with Pat Kuss, Pine City's
famous matsman, in the main 60 with
one of the leading wrestlers of the

the show and Pats opponent will be
