^    Our  flour  expert  determines  the  grades  of  wheat  adapted  to  our  various  needs,  then 
SCIENTIFICALLY  TESTS  every  bit  of  flour  made  for  us. 

^    Our  54  years  experience  and  our  splendidly  equipped  bakery  insure  exceptional  skill 
in  every  stage  of  preparation  and  baking. 

^  At  our  bread  and  pastry  booth,  in  Main  Exhibi- 
tion Hall,  is  a  pradical  demonstration  of  the  various 
operations  through  which  our  flour  is  put  by  modern 
milling,  from  the  selecfled  wheat  to  the  finished  produdt. 

^  Note  the  abounding  strength  of  our  flour  in 
GLUTEN — the  great  muscle  building  element — 
that's  what  makes  our  bread  so  nutritious.

^  For  the  Thirty-fourth  consecutive  year 
the  Brockton  Fair  extends  the  hand  of 
welcome  to  its  lime  honored  friend : 
The  Public. 

Q  A  discriminating  friend,  this  same  pub- 
lic. A  bit  di fruitful  of  the  frail  infant 
of  1  873,  tolerant  of  the  youth,  but  a  firm 
friend  and  con^tuent  of  the  rugged  in- 
stitution that  has  so  firmly  implanted  itself 
in  the  hearts  of  the  lovers  of  clean  amuse- 
ment in  the  old  Bay  State  and  through- 
out New  England. 

^  Many  of  the  guiding  minds  and  hands 
that  so  successfully  launched  the  young- 
fler  on  its  triumphant  way  are  long  since 
billed,  but  their  works  remain  a  ^rength 
and  example  to  the  followers  in  their  ^eps. 

The  phenomenal  success  of  the  Brock- 
ton Fair  is  largely  due  to  the  rule  made 
paramount  by  its  founders  and  lived  up  to 
each  year  :  Keeping  faith  with  the  public 
by  giving  a  more  than  generous  equivalent 
for  value  received. 

^  The  compliments  of  the  season  we  ex- 
tend to  you,  each  and  every  one,  and  in 
the  pages  that  follow  we  have  briefly  out- 
lined by  pen  and  picture  our  offerings  for 
the  year  1  909.

Important  to  Carriage  Owners 

No  carriages  nor  vehicles  of  any  sort  will 
be  allowed  in  the  oval  or  grove  as  in 
past  years.  A  suitable  parking  space 
for  the  use  of  carriage  owners  has  been 
provided  and  will  be  located  at  the  left 
of  the  Forest  Avenue  entrance  gate. 
Carriage  occupants  wishing  to  go  to 
the  Grand  Stand  will  find  the  new  gate 
on   West   Street  a    great    convenience.

For  Yoving  America 


There  are  as  many  events  as  can  be  crowded  into  a  day  on 
the  athletic  program  for  Cliildren's  Day,  October  5,  '  and 
this  offers  many  opportimities  for  each  to  win  an  event  on 
merit.  It's  worth  while  for  a  boy  to  try  out  in  his  own  class 
and  get  used  to  competition.  Head  work  can  be  developed 
that  may  win  big  events  in  later  school  or  college  life.  There 
is  much  in  getting  used  to  being  in  competition  to  make  fast 
men  know  how  to  make  the  best  of  their  speed  and  often 
defeat  men  who  had  more  but  did  not  know  how  to  use  it. 

The  highest  athletic  honor  of  a  boy's  school  is  to  make  one 
of  its  teams,  and  the  time  to  start  is  at  the  Brockton  Fair 
meet.  Only  five  can  pull  on  the  Tug-of-War,  and  three  run  in 
the  100-yard  dash.    Can  YOU  make  either  team?    You  can  try.

NEW  CARRIAGE  REGULATIONS 

The  Management  of  the  Brockton  Fair  have  decided  that 
beginning  this  year  horses  and  carriages  will  not  be  allowed 
in  the  oval.  Also  no  teams  will  be  allowed  in  the  grove  at 
the  east  of  the  track.  In  past  years  many  people  have  driven 
into  the  grove  and  have  hitched  their  horses  there  for  the 
day.     That  will  all  be  cut  out  this  year,  and  not  a  horse  or

basket-ball   game  at  3   and  the  football  at  4   o'clock.  Start

carriage  can  be  left  in  the  grove.  Something  else  that  is 
new  is  the  rule  that  sightseers  may  not  drive  around  the 
grounds   the  two   middle   days   of   the   fair. 

In  past  years  it  has  been  permissible  for  pleasure  parties 
to  go  about  the  fair  grounds  in  their  carriages  pretty  much 
as  they  pleased,  but  now  that  the  grounds  are  so  crowded 
annually  it  has  been  decided  that  this  is  too  dangerous  to  be 
permitted  on  the  big  days.  On  Tuesday  and  Friday  car- 
riages may  be  driven  about  as  in  past  years.  This  rule  does 
not  apply  to  express  and  other  wagons  that  are  there  on 
supply  and  other  fair  business. 

Now  that  such  restrictions  have  been  placed  upon  the  places 
where  carriages  and  horses  can  be  left  and  about  the  way  they 
can  be  driven  around,  the  Fair  Management,  in  order  not  to 
discourage  people  from  coming  to  the  fair  in  this  manner, 
have  provided  a  place  for  their  convenience,  which  is  thought 
will  also  prove  more  satisfactory  to  the  carriage  drivers  them- 
selves than  past  methods.  The  idea  is  to  provide  an  en- 
closure for  horses  and  wagons  much  after  the  pattern  of  the 
enclosure    that    has    been    furnished    for   automobiles. 

This  enclosure  will  be  just  at  the  left  of  the  Forest  Avenue 
gate,  a  handy  location  both  for  entrance  and  exit.

The  Brockton  Fair  has  gained  a  wide  reputation  for 
its  stage  shows  and  no  expense  has  ever  been  spared  to 
get  the  best  artists  obtainable  for  this  big  show.  This 
year  will  be  no  exception  to  the  rule  and  the  stage  show 
promises  to  excel  anything  ever  before  shown  at  any 
outdoor  show.  In  addition  to  the  usual  two  big  stages 
a  third  has  been  built  adjoining  the  new  Robinson 
Field  and  people  on  the  hill  and  in  the  grove  will 
practically  have  a  stage  of  their  own.  A  list  of  the 
stage   show   attractions    for   this   year    follow: 

FRENZIO 

The  wiseacres  said  long  ago  that  the  limit  of  human  endur- 
ance and  daring  had  been  reached  but  beside  the  feat  accom- 
plished by  Frenzio  all  other  sensations  pale  into  insignificance. 

Perched  high  up  in  the  air  is  the  intrepid  performer  while 
about  twenty-five  feet  beneath  him  and  fifteen  feet  away  is  a 
chute  about  a  yard  in  width.  Breathlessly  the  spectators  watch 
him  as  he  makes  his  preparations  to  dive.  He  is  seen  to  steady 
himself  and  then  gradually  bend  his  body  forward,  suddenly  he 
throws  himself  head  downward,  his  hands  above  his  head  as 
though  preparing  to  strike  the  water,  but  no  water  is  beneath 
him.  Downward  he  shoots,  with  a  rapidity  so  great  that  the  eye 
can  scarcely  keep  pace  with  his  movements.  Faster  and  faster, 
obeying  the  laws  of  gravitation,  he  comes.  Now  he  is  just 
above  the  chute,  now  he  strikes  the  flat  surface  and  dashes  head 
first  down  the  steep  incline  faster  than  a  mile  a  minute.  He 
reaches  the  upward  turn  of  the  chute  and  darting  forward  his 
momentum  carries  beyond  its  end  and  before  you  know  it, 
he  has  landed  on  his  feet  and  is  bowing  his  thanks  to  the  ad- 
miring and  awestruck  spectators.

There  are  none  who  see  the  feat  per- 
formed by  Frenzio  who  will  not  say  it 
is  the  most  remarkable  performance  in 
the  world.  It  is  the  sensation  of  sensa- 
tions. 


THE  GLOBE  OF  DEATH 


Globe  of  Death,  one  of  the  latest  of  the  sensational  devices 
is  a  perfect  sphere  sixteen  feet  in  diameter  and  constructed  of 
latticed  steel  wire,  so  as  to  give  an  unoljstructed  view  of  the  en- 
tire performance  through  the  three-inch  mesh. 

There  are  three  performers  in  the  act,  two  women  and  one 
man  and  two  of  them,  one  woman  and  a  man,  first  give  a  start- 
ling exhibition  on  ordinary  bicycles,  chasing  each  other  around 


It  does  not  seem  as  though  there  was  any  limit  to  the  hair 

raising,  death  defying  devices  which  human  ingenuity  can   de- 

t_        vise  for   the  edification   of  the  amusement  loving  public.     The 


the  inside  of  the  Globe  at  a  terrific  rate  of  speed.  To  ride  slowly 
would  mean  to  fall.  After  several  minutes  of  marvelous  work 
by  these  two  cyclists,  they  come  out  of  the  Globe  and  CeDora, 
the  intrepid,  enters  the  trap  door  with  a  Motor  Cycle.  To  ride 
the  ordinary  wheel  inside  the  Globe  is  one  thing,  but  to  be 
able  to  control  a  motor  cycle,  a  machine  much  heavier  and  much 
more  difficult  to  handle  in  a  confined  space  is  quite  another 
proposition. 

As  soon  as  she  is  inside  the  Globe,  she  mounts  the  machine 
and  begins  the  wind,  the  spiral  around  the  limited  confines  of 
the  sphere.  CeDora  rides  more  and  more  parallel  to  the 
Globe's  equator  as  the  speed  of  the  motor  increases.  FinaUy  at 
full  speed,  which  is  nearly  fifty  miles  an  hour,  CeDora,  like  the 
downward  rush  of  an  eagle  after  its  prey,  dives  to  the  bottom 
of  the  Globe  to  dart  up  the  other  side  and  pass  over  (or  rallier 
under)  the  exact  top  centre  of  the  sphere.  Again  and  again 
does  CeDora  repeat  this  seemingly  impossible  feat,  dashing  up 
and  down  inside  of  the  Globe,  overcoming  by  her  great  speed 
the  laws  of  gravitation. 

ALLIE  T.  WOOSTER  CHARIOT 
AND  RELAY  RACES 

Chariot  races  and  relay  races  have  for  many  years  been 
strong  features  on  the  Hippodrome  tracks  of  the  big  circuses 
and  Wild  West  shows,  and  they  have  always  been  thrillers, 
and  this  is  what  AUie  Wooster's  Chariot  Races  do.  Not  less 
exciting  are  his  relaj'  races  in  which  three  women  ride.  A  relay 
race  is  made  at  the  end  of  each  mile,  a  new  horse  and  rider 
taking  up  the  race  which  is  always  against  time.  And 
relay  races  with  men  riders  are  always  exciting  affairs, 
but  when  the  horses  are  ridden  by  women,  the  contest 
becomes  more  attractive.  Off  dashes  the  first  rider  at 
break  neck  speed,  thinking  of  nothing  but  making  that 
mile  in  a  stipulated  time,  beating  it  if  possible  she  urges 
her  mount  to  the  utmost,  and  the  animal  understanding 
her  every  mo\e  and  knowing  what  is  expected  of  him  speeds 
faster  and  faster  until  the  mile  is  covered  and  the  stop  watches 
tell  that  the  distance  has  been  covered  in  two  minutes.  No 
sooner  has  the  first  rider  passed  her  mile  than  off  goes  the  sec- 
ond. She  of  course  does  not  wish  to  be  outdone  by  her  sister 
rider,  and  her  work  is  a  repetition  of  the  first.  This  is  to  the 
end  of  the  relay,  interest  is  sustained  and  the  spectators  have 
no  cessation  of  thrills  until  the  last  rider  dismounts.

POLAR,  "THE  MAN  UP  THE  POLE" 

Foreign  countries  have  from  time  to  time  furnished  America 
with  acts  that  not  only  have  had  the  merit  of  Novelty,  but  are 
sensational  as  well  and  among  these  Polar,  "The  Man  Up  the 
Pole,"  now  seen  for  the  first  time  in  this  country,  deserves  a  dis- 
tinct separate  consideration  because  he  is  so  different  from  the 
others. 

Polar  derives  the  name  not  from  the  region  of  the  Polar  Bear, 
for  he  is  essentially  a  warm  proposition,  but  from  the  fact  that 
he  gives  his  entire  performance  on  a  slender  pole  which  towers 
seventy  feet  in  the  air. 

The  pole  used  by  Polar,  tapers  at  the  end  on  which  he  per- 
forms to  two  inches,  making  almost  whiplilie  in  its  limberness, 
and  as  he  performs  way  above  the  heads  of  the  spectators,  the 
pole  sways  and  bends  like  a  tall  sapling  "fretted  by  the  winds  of 
heaven." 

JAMES  E.  HARDY 

rightly  called  the  "American  Blondin,"  performs  some  of  the 
most  remarkable,  and  to  those  who  have  not  seen  him,  unbe- 
lievable feats.  High  up  in  the  air  perched  upon  a  slender  silver 
thread  Hardy  gives  an  exhibition  that  causes  the  red  blood  to 
tingle  in  your  veins  and  your  63^63  to  open  in  wonderment. 

Imagine  a  man  on  a  wire  sixty  feet  in  the  air  who  first  balanc- 
ing a  cook  stove  on  his  slender  perch,  cooks  something  to  eat. 
Hardy  does  this.  He  rides  a  bicycle  on  the  wire,  walks  on 
the  wire  with  his  feet  in  stocks;  walks  on  the  wire  on  stilts; 
wheels  a  wheel-barrow;  walks  with  a  bag  over  his  head  com- 
pletely blind-folding  him;  lies  down  on  the  wire,  attaches  a 
trapeze  to  the  wire  and  does  a  trapeze  act,  as  well  as  many 
other  feats,  each  one  more  sensational  than  its  predecessor  and 
all  done  with  an  ease  that  makes  him  appear  as  much  at  home 
on  his  high,  slender  perch  as  the  ordinary  man  is  on  terra  ftrma, 
and  so  he  is.  He  has  appeared  at  all  the  principal  Expositions 
in  the  world,  and  has  been  proclaimed  the  "greatest"  in  his  line.

THE  FOUR  BALTUS 

This  Quartette  of  strong  men,  however,  differ  materially  from 
the  majority  of  those  who  belong  to  this  class,  as  they  are  re- 
markable equilibrists  and  perform  feats  which  not  alone  re- 
quire great  strength,  but  a  peculiar  knack  or  "know  how"  which 
has  been  attained  by  years  of  practice.  In  their  work  they  dis- 
play a  most  wonderful  "counter-resistance"  control  of  mus- 
cles, as  well  as  the  ability  to  sustain  rigidity,  and  it  is  these 
two  accomplishments  which  enables  them  to  perform  feats  of 
unheard  of  attainment. 

Their  hand  to  hand  balancing  three  and  four  high,  and  heavy 
dumb-bell  work  is  all  remarkable,  and  is  sure  to  hold  attention. 


LA  BELLE  FAUSTINA 

La  Belle  Faustina,  the  "limber  jointed  lady,"  gives  one  of 
the  neatest  and  best  of  contortion  acts  now  before  the  public. 
There  is  nothing  in  the  line  of  bending  she  does  not  do.  So 
easily  and  gracefully  does  she  go  through  her  routine  and  with 
such  an  air  of  apparent  pleasure  does  she  do  her  work  that  she 
always  wins  the  full  approbation  of  those  who  see  her. 


MANGEAN  TROUPE 

Six  as  perfect  acrobats  as  the  world  has  produced  comprise 
this  act,  four  men  and  two  women,  and  their  work  presents  sen- 
sation after  sensation.  Thej'  do  part  work  from  a  spring-board 
and  with  the  impetus  derived  from  it  they  do  all  kinds  of  dif- 
ficult stunts  in  the  somersault  line;  singles,  doubles  and  twisters 
are  performed  and  so  gracefully  do  their  bodies  fly  through  the 
air  that  wings,  did  they  have  them,  could  not  add  to  their  ex- 
cellent work. 

They  land  on  the  shoulders  of  the  men  two  and  three  high 
with  a  precision  that  makes  the  average  man  or  woman  sit  up 
and  "take  notice."  The  work  of  the  top-mounter  who  is  one  of 
the  women  is  highly  sensational. 


KENYON  AND  DEGARMO 

Balancing  Perch  acts  and  other  equilibristic  acts  are  numer- 
ous but  the  act  presented  by  Kenyon  and  DeGarmo  is  different 
from  the  general  run  of  performances  in  their  class. 

The  male  member  of  the  team  acting  as  the  understander, 
balances  a  triangular  perch  at  the  top  of  which  is  suspended 
a  short  trapeze.  Upon  this  his  woman  partner  performs  vari- 
ous kinds  of  balances,  and  swings  teeth  suspension,  etc.  She 
also  does  a  numlier  of  balances  on  a  cradle  at  the  top  of  the 
perch.    The  act  is  spectacular.

DONEGAN  SISTERS 

Roller  skating  always  has  a  fascination  for  a  large  percent- 
age of  people  and  an  expert  on  the  roUer  skates  always  com- 
mands attention. 

The  two  Donegan  Sisters  are  experts  par  excellence.  They 
were  born  to  the  art  and  there  is  nothing  that  can  be  done  on 
skates  that  they  cannot  do. 

HASSAN'S  TOOZOONIN  ARABS 

Some  of  the  world's  foremost  tumblers  and  acrobats  come 
from  far-off  Arabia,  where  it  seems  to  be  the  ambition  of  every 
boy  to  excel  his  playmates  in  tumbling.  The  Toozoonin 
Troupe  ranks  among  the  best  that  has  ever  been  brought  to 
this  country  by  Sie  Hassan,  and  they  have  appeared  in  the  prin- 
cipal cities  in  the  United  States  and  Canada,  and  have  every- 
where been  the  greatest  success.  They  do  some  of  the  most 
wonderful  pyramid  work,  one  in  particular  in  which  one  man, 
the  "understander,"  holds  the  entire  weight  of  his  comrades. 
Their  tumbling,  twisting  somersaults  and  flip-flaps  are  also  re- 
markable and  so  quick  are  their  actions  in  their  work  that  it 
keeps  the  eye  busy  watching  them.  In  their  line  they  are  sen- 
sational, they  being  marvelously  limber  and  agile,  rapid  in  their 
work  and  unique  in  their  style. 

THE  THREE  LE  BARS 

The  Comedy  Gymnast  of  to-day  is  required  to  be  not  only 
a  comedian  but  an  expert  gymnast  as  well,  for  the  reason 
tliat  he  must,  to  a  certain  degree,  burlesque  the  straight  work 
•of  his  fellow  artists  associated  with  him  in  the  act — and  this 
is  where  the  3  LeBars  excel.  They  are  all  expert  performers  and 
their  work  on  the  horizontal  bars  has  reached  a  point  of  latter 
day  perfection  which  is  hard  to  equal.  To  make  their  perform- 
ance more  difBcult  and  more  attractive,  they  have  introduced  a 
trampoline  in  their  act,  and  their  rebounding  work  both  straight 
and  comedy  is  high  class. 

THE  NEWCOMES 

Two  attractive  women  and  a  man  constitute  this  act,  and  the 
work  they  do  is  of  the  gilt-edge  variety.  Much  of  their  per- 
formance is  given  on  a  teeter  board  on  which  they  do  stunts 
usually  performed  on  the  ground.  The  women  are  exceptionally 
■clever  equilibrists,  and  they  do  some  remarkably  difficult  hand 
balancing  on  the  head  of  the  man  while  he  walks  up  and  down 
the  teeter  board.  One  of  their  most  sensational  feats  is  the 
human  bridge  which  they  form  upon  the  ground,  one  of  the 
women  with  her  head  resting  on  the  head  of  the  man  while  her 
feet  rests  on  the  head  of  the  other  woman.  In  this  position 
ascend  the  teeter  until  they  reach  the  centre  when  they  cause 
the  board  to  teeter  up  and  down.  These  performers  are 
perhaps  the  only  ones  in  the  world  doing  this  feat,  and  this, 
as  well  as  their  other  work  makes  them  a  sensational  feature 
of  any  show. 

THE  SIX  FLYING  BANVARDS 

In  point  of  excellence  they  rank  second  to  none.  Their  rou- 
tine includes  some  of  the  most  difficult  feats  ever  attempted 
by  aerialists;  single,  double  and  twisting  somersaults,  return 
work  are  all  done  by  this  skilful  troupe,  and  as  they  float 
through  the  air  from  one  to  another  they  present  many  a 
pretty   picture. 

DENNIS  BROTHERS 

The  Dennis  Brothers'  work  is  distinctly  novel  and  daring. 
When  one  considers  the  fact  that  the  mere  balancing  of  a  lad- 
der being  in  mid-air  is  quite  a  stunt,  then  the  feats  performed 
by  these  daring  aerialists  is  the  better  appreciated. 

They  do  hand  stands  on  the  ladder;  head  stands,  hand 
stands  on  the  back  of  a  chair  balanced  on  the  ladder,  trapeze 
and  other  chair  work  on  the  ladder.  Their  entire  act  is  of  the 
hair-raising  kind,  and  as  a  finish  they  stand  one  on  each  end  of 
the  ladder  while  it  revolves.  It  is  a  highly  sensational  ending  of 
an  act  filled  with  "thrills"  and  is  sure  to  create  admiration  and 
amazement. 

POLK  AND  POLK 

Polk  and  Polk  do  an  interesting  acrobatic  act  in  which  they 
display  much  cleverness.  They  work  on  a  teetering  board  for 
much  of  their  performance.  They  do  head  to  hand  catches, 
hand  to  hand  catches  and  other  feats  of  similar  nature. 

Their  equilibristic  work  is  more  than  ordinarily  clever,  and 
the  ease  with  which  they  accomplish  many  difficult  stunts  they 
do,  proves  them  to  be  past  masters  in  the  art  of  balancing. 


JOHN  WHITE  AND  HIS 
EDUCATED  MULES 

The  education  of  animals  has  become  one  of  the  foremost 
lines  of  endeavor  in  the  amusement  business  and  many  are  the 
animal  acts  brought  by  men  and  women.  In  this  line  of  the 
quadrupeds,  the  horse,  the  elephant  and  the  pig  have  received 
most  attention,  while  the  mule  has  been  considered  one  of  the 
best  tractable  of  all.  Professor  White  has  spent  much  time  and 
study  in  the  training  of  this  species  and  the  result  has  amply 
repaid  his  labors.  No  doubt  you  all  have  seen  "high  school"  or 
Manage  Acts  in  circuses,  where  the  horses,  either  driven  or 
ridden  have  gone  througli  various  maneuvers  and  figures,  steps, 
etc.,  while  the  band  played  waltzes,  polkas,  or  other  suitable 
"step"  music.  It  is,  of  course,  a  tedious  task  to  teach  a  hgrse 
to  do  this,  but  how  much  more  tedious  is  it  to  teach  a  stubborn 
mule  to  burlesque  this  work  as  performed  by  his  more  intelli- 
gent half  brother  the  horse. 

But  this  is  exactly  what  Professor  White  has  accomplished. 
His  "liigh  school"  mule  actually  burlesques  the  work  of  a  man- 
age horse  act,  and  is,  without  doubt,  the  most  perfectly  trained 
mule  before  the  public.  All  of  the  work  done  by  "high  school" 
horse  is  done  by  this  mule  in  burlesque.  He  steps  to  music, 
waltzes  and  goes  through  the  entire  routine  in  a  most  remark- 
able style,  and  can  truly  be  styled  an  educated  mule. 

Professor  White's  Bucking  Mule  is  also  deserving  of  atten- 
tion for  his  antics  create  no  end  of  merriment. 

THE  THREE  LA  VANS 

"Up  in  the  Air"  is  a  common  slang  phrase  with  which  most 
every  one  is  familiar  and  its  meaning  when  thus  used  is  also 
known  to  the  majoritj',  but  when  applied  to  the  Three  La  Vans 
it  is  a  very  difi^erent  meaning.  They  are  up  in  the  air  for  a  fact 
and  the  feats  that  they  perform  on  the  flying  trapeze  are  of  the 
hair  raising  variety.  Two  men  and  a  woman  constitute  the  trio. 
The  latter  performs  on  a  single  trapeze  above  the  heads  of  her 
brother  performers  and  gives  an  exhibition  of  grace  and  agility 
well-nigh  incomparable.  Below  her  the  two  men  perform  on  a 
flying  trapeze  and  their  work  is  daring  to  say  the  least.  They 
do  many  of  the  tricks  done  by  other  performers  in  their  class, 
besides  many  of  their  own.  All  kinds  of  somersaults,  passing 
and  returns  are  accomplished  by  this  intrepid  pair  of  gymnasts 
in  a  cool  and  imconcerned  manner,  which  together  with  the  dare- 
devil feats  which  they  perform  fascinates  the  onlooker. 

DUNEDIN  TROUPE 

This  wonderful  troupe  of  Bicyclists  first  won  fame  in  Austra- 
lia and  since  their  first  American  appearance  two  years  ago 
have  as  completely  captured  our  public  as  they  did  that  of  for- 
eign countries.  There  is  nothing  in  the  "wheel"  line  they  cannot 
do,  and  what  they  do  is  the  cream  of  bicycle  feats.  They  have 
been  here  before  but  like  a  good  story  they  will  bear  repeating. 

INZA  AND  LORELLA 

No  doubt  the  young  people  visiting  this  fair,  and  the  old  ones, 
too,  for  that  matter,  have  laughed  and  laughed,  many  times,  at 
the  antics  of  the  clowns  with  a  circus,  but  Inza  and  Lorella  are 
more  than  funny  clowns.  They  are  great  tumblers,  both  ground 
and  lofty  and  do  many  novel  feats.  They  do  tumbling  feats 
from  clown  spring-boards  are  always  doing  the  unexpected. 
They  keep  you  guessing  what  they  will  do  next,  and  are  the 
cause  of  quick  transition  from  laughter  for  their  "cutting  up" 
and  admiration  for  their  more  than  ordinarily  clever  feats,  their 
agility  and  their  ease  and  grace.  As  clowns  they  are  fun- 
nier than  the  funniest.     As  tumblers  they  are  excelled  by  none. 

JOHNSON,  MARVELLE  AND  MULE 

There  are  more  ways  than  one  of  getting  fun  out  of  an  Auto- 
mobile Accident  but  the  way  that  Johnson  and  Marvelle  go 
about  it  is  the  quintessence  of  merriment,  and  their  act  "The 
Brainstorm  Automobile  and  the  Mule  Mike"  furnishes  enough 
laughing  material  to  keep  an  army  of  "Sober  Sues"  in  constant 
inerriment. 

They  first  appear  in  an  automobile,  the  machine  finally  stops 
and  refuses  to  go.  After  the  chauffeur  makes  several  attempts 
to  start  the  machine,  there  is  an  explosion,  and  the  machine  is 
wrecked.  In  order  to  get  home,  they  hire  a  mule,  no  horse  being_ 
obtainable  and  their  real  troubles  begin.  We  say  real  troubles 
because  those  caused  by  the  automobile  are  nothing  compared 
with  those  they  encounter  with  the  mule.  "Mike"  is  beyond 
question  the  best  trained  mule  in  the  world.  He  is  a  real  com- 
edy mule  and  seems  to  enjoy  the  apparent  discomfiture  of  the 
two  rnen.

The  Brockton  Fair  Management  has  watched  with  great 
satisfaction  the  growth  of  its  Athletic  Department,  and  it  has 
more  than  kept  pace  this  year  by  not  only  building  a  tra:ck 
and  equipment  for  this  year  but  for  years  to  come.  Now  a 
quarter  of  a  mile  track,  as  fine  as  any  in  New  England,  stands 
as  a  monument  to  their  efforts,  with  its  rolled  cinder  path,  and 
interior  facilities  for  football,  basket-ball,  and  all  classes  of 
field  sports. 

Of  course  it  has  a  name  and  what  better  than  The  Robin- 
son Field  could  be  suggested?  Thus  will  the  name  of  the  late 
honored  president  be  perpetuated. 

Notice  too  that  the  games  take  place  Thursday  this  year  in- 
stead of  the  last  day  but  there  will  be  basket-ball,  football 
and  the  great  and  only  Brockton  Marathon  on  the  last  day,  and 
an  Association  game  of  football  on  Wednesday.  Regular  chil- 
dren's Day  program  of  course. 

There  will  be  no  interruptions  this  year  and  Chairman  Horace 
A.  Keith  and  his  committee  will  keep  things  moving  on  Rob- 
inson Field.  They  have  also  added  three  events  to  take  up  some 
of  the  time  gained.  The  high  and  low  hurdles  and  a  mile  handi- 
cap have  been  added. 

THE  SECOND  ANNUAL  MARATHON 

The  great  success  of  last  year  in  the  outcome  of  the  great- 
est of  the  Greek  races  has  led  to  making  the  Marathon  a  per- 
manent feature  and  about  the  same  program  as  last  year  will 
be  followed  out,  starting  from  the  B.  A.  A.  rooms  and  finishing 
with  a  few  circuits  of  the  local  track.  Full  particulars  will  be 
printed  on  the  entry  blanks  and  any  further  information  in 
regards  to  the  program  can  be  had  from  Mr.  Horace  A.  Keith 
of  26   Pinkham  Street,  Brockton,   Mass.

NsiDE  The  Speed  Limit 

The  Brockton  Fair  as  an  objective  point  for  automobilists  is 
increasing  in  importance  each  year.  Motor  parties  find  the 
most  ample  accommodations  in  the  parking  space  allotted  for 
their  use,  and  last  year  the  largest  show  of  automobiles  ever 
gathered  together  in  this  country  were  parked  in  this  great 
space. 

This  year  there  is  to  be  a  new  gate  cut  on  West  Street, 
directly  in  the  rear  of  the  grand  stand,  for  the  convenience 
of  automobile  passengers.  A  new  ticket  office  will  be  located 
at  that  point.  Automobiles  can  take  their  passengers  thus 
right  up  to  the  entrance  to  the  grand  stand  and  the  quarter 
stretch. 

Ihe  regular  entrance  for  automobiles  will  be  the  same  as 
last  year  at  Fairside  Road  and  all  patrons  will  have  the  ad- 
vantages of  the  club  house  and  checking  rooms  attached. 

The  Brocktoii  Fair  automobile  committee  is  as  follows: 
Messrs.  Fred  Drew,  Dr.  F.  E.  Constans,  Perley  G.  Flint,  Fred 
W.  Filoon,  Will  M.  Nute  and  Fred  Packard.

BANDS  AND  BALLOONS 

Music  is  always  a  feature  at  the  Brockton  Fair,  good  music 
too.  This  year  wOl  be  no  exception.  Three  bands  will  fill 
the  air  with  their  enlivening  strains:  Martland's  Bands,  its- 
thirty-fourth  consecutive  year,  Mace  Gay,  Director;  MUo 
Burke's  Band,  Milo  Burke,  Director;  and  the  Walk-Over  Band, 
Edward  Manning,  Director.  Two  of  the  bands  will  be  lo- 
cated in  the  quarter  stretch  and  the  other  on  the  stand  on 
the  hill.  These  bands  include  in  their  ranks  some  of  the 
best  soloists  in  New  England  and  when  they  consolidate  and 
come  down  the  quarter  stretch  seventy-five  strong  the  ap- 
plause is  deafening.  Messrs.  J.  A.  Driscoll  ad  Harry  Henry, 
famous  throughout  the  country  as  the  "men  with  the  big 
voices  who  sing  to  beat  the  band"  will  give  solos  with  the 
bands  frequently.     This  is  bound  to  be  a  poprdar  feature. 

Everybody  waits  for  the  balloon  and  they  never  wait  in 
vain  at  the  Brockton  Fair.  Professor  Flower  wiU  be  on  hand 
as  usual  this  year  and  he  promises  some  genuine  thrillers  in 
aeronautics. 


Since  the  first  Brockton  Fair  Muster  in  1902  the  following 
is  the  list  of  first  prize  winners:  Gardner,  4,  Gardner,  Mass.; 
Protector,  3,  Brockton;  Enterprise,  2,  Campello;  Rough  and 
Ready,  Templeton,  Mass.;  General  Taylor,  Everett,  Mass.; 
Hingham  Vet,  Hingham,  Mass.;  Hancock,  1,  Brockton.  The 
Rough  and  Ready  hold  the  record  for  the  longest  play  win- 
ning with  a  stream  of  243  feet  3i4   inches. 


ME  AN'  HANNAH  AT  THER  FAIR 


on    may    talk    about    theayters,    and    concerts 

that   yer   like, 
Yer   may    go    an'    see    Salomy    do    lier    dizzy 

dancin'  liike  ; 
Yer  may  dote  on  comic  operys,  yer  may   call 

tlier  circus   great ; 
But  fer  real  right  down  amusement  I  git  on 

my  feet  ter  state 
That  there's  nothin'  half  so  pleasin'  In  a  hall 

er   open   air. 
That   so    fully   hits   my   fancy   as   that   hust- 

lin'    Brockton    Fair. 


Yer   may   like   them  high   sopranos,  in    their  dresses  rich  and   fine. 
And  yer  think  their  music  splendid,  but  the  squealin'  of  ther  swine 
Is   a  concert   most   allurin'   and   it   sets    my    blood  agoin'. 
Till  I  feel   fer  all  the  world   like   a  first  prize   rooster  crowin' ; 
Then  I   feel   my   pulses  tingle,  and   I   never  think   uv  care 
When   I'm  wanderin'    round   with   Hannah  at  that   busy  Brockton 
Fair. 

There  ain't  no  play  actin'  that's  like  it,  either  comical  or  tragic, 
Ruther  see  ther  judges  judgin'  than  a  feat  of  Eastern  magic, 
Jtuther  cast  my  eyes  admirin'  on  a  prize  cow's  silken  hide 
Than   be   watchin'   movin'   pictures  from   a   theayter   seat,   inside ; 
Ruther  watch  them   bosses  racin'  round  the  circle  track,  I  swear, 
Fer   we   both   have   real   enjoyment   me  an'   Hannah   at   ther   fair. 

I   don't   envy  you  yer   oprys  nor  yer   concerts — no,    siree. 
For   the  barker's   high  voiced   spiellns'   elecution   grand   fer   me, 
When  I  see  the  airship  flyin'  an'  I  hear  ther  bands  a  playin', 
Then  I'm  mighty  glad  I'm  livln'  an'   along  ther  midways   strayin', 
Fer  ther's  not  a  thing  ter  worry,  an'   no  burden   hard  ter  bear. 
When   I'm  arm  in  arm  with  Hannah  at  ther  busy  Brockton  Fair.

the  largest  and  most  complete  of  any  yet 
held.  With  the  best  lighted  and  ventilated 
show  halls  in  the  East ;  fully  equipped  with 
the  most  modern  coops,  which  will  ac- 
commodate over  four  thousand  birds. 
Fourteen  expert  judges  to  place  awards, 
so  that  ribbons  can  be  hung  up  the  open- 
ing day. 

We  feel  that  we  are  deserving  of  the 
compliment  paid  us  by  a  well  known  writer 
for  a  Western  poultry  journal,  "The  Brock- 
ton Fair  Poultry  Show  is  first  class  in 
every  respect,  and  has  set  an  example 
that  others  should  follow." 

The  exhibitors  have  made  these  condi- 
tions possible,  as  they  have  been  loyal  to 
the  Brockton  Fair.  The  Association  fully 
appreciates  this,  and  will  strive  to  give 
everyone  fair  and  courteous  treatment. 
Enter  your  birds,  come  to  the  Brockton 
Fair,  and  enjoy  yourself. 
Fraternally  yours,

Beauty  in  a  Diamond 
Fast- Color  Eyelet 


Eyelets  are  not  only  a  matter  of  utility  and  convenience,  but  of  ornament  to  shoes 
as  well.  If  an  eyelet  turns  "  brassy "  the  appearance  of  the  shoe  is  injured  more 
than  it  would  be  by  a  break  in  the  leather,  for  nothing  so  cheapens  an  otherwise 
good  shoe  as  a  "  brassy  "  eyelet.  The  beauty  of  Diamond  Fast-CflWT  Eyelets 
does  not  change,  but  they  retain  the  same  bright,  new  appearance  throughout  the 
wear  of  the  shoe,  and  as  the  tops  are  solid  color  they  cannot  wear  "  brassy."  You 
have  a  right  to  expect  this  kind  of  an  eyelet  in  every  good  shoe,  and  there  is  a 
sure  way  to  tell  whether  you  are  getting  it.  Look  for  the  little  Diamond  <^^^ 
Trade  Mark  that  is  slightly  raised  on  the  surface  of  each  eyelet.  Only  the  gen- 
uine Fast-Color  Eyelets  have  it,  and  they  are  the  only  kind  that  do  not  wear 
"brassy"  and  always  look  new.
