'The South Ontario Agricultural Society Fall Fair bas always pro- vided unexcelled entertainment in the way of a midway, grand stand performances, firework displays, and vaudeville, This wear the standard will be maintained, with many additional features to mark the celebration of a zenith in the history of the Fair. The enter- tainment part of a Fall Fair is one of the main activities during the period in which the Fair is 1g pro- gress, It has to reach a high standard to merit the attention which it receives, and this year the directorate of the three day fes- tival have gone to extreme ends to secure the best in order that the visiting public will have plenty to talk about when the Fair closes its doors after a successful run, Special attention has been given to the choice of free attractions for the 1928 exhibition. A great deal of extra money has been ex- pended in order to provide a pro- gram that will surpass any of the previous classes of shows. These free attractions will take place on Wednesday and Thursday after- noons and evenings in front of tne grand stand. Seven acts in all are listed to appear on these dates at the scheduled times, and there is no doubt but that they will be wit. nessed by crowds far exceeding those of any previous year in the history of the Fair. All the 'vaudeville specialties will be seen on a big platform in front of the grand stand, as usual, on the opposite side of the race track, A few of these many acts have been published in the circular issued by the Fair com- mittee and include Crocker's fam- ous dogs, ponies, and a comedy mule, and the Selvys, who intro- duce their celebrated flying rings, trapeze work, hand balaneing stunts and general acrobatics. Frank Lemon who is well known on the presentation stage, will give an exhibition of his comedy trick bicycle stunt coupled with a unicycle act. Charles Gayior, the Giant Bull Frog, will furnish his part of the comedy of the per- formance--while Fred Guthrie, will display for the approval of an interested audience, a marvellous demonstration of dancing on a wire, The Bucking Ford, a sur- prise novelty, will delight every- one, at the same time giving cause for hearty guffaws. It is to be understood that mu- sie will be provided on the grounds during the Fair, both in the after- | noons and eveniags, At all the performances the Ontario Regi- meental Band will play, and there 18 no doubt but that their previous successes will merit, for them much appreciation, Two big night shows have been pet for Wednesday and Thursday evenings, September 12 and 13, ~=nd two gala attractions are sched- uled for ths same days in the af- ternoons, The firework displays are hound to please. Two huge displays have been arranged for the Fair and will be given on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. These have always been a feature of past Fairs in Oshawa, and it is not the policy of the Fair committees to lag be- hind this year in the presentation of this special event. A Fair is not considered an up- to-date Fair unless it boasts a Mid- way. Again the directorate com- sider themselves far fromy being obsolete, and have spent consider- able sums in purchasing the ser. vices of the Famous Royal Cana- dian shows with four rides in con- junction. These shows will stand It is stated authoratively by the di- rectorate of the Fair Board that everything advertised as being pre- sented by these shows will be in evidence on the days of the Fair, and will satisfy the greatest de- mand for clean, good, entertain. ing fun. Not only will the young people be surprised and overjoyed when they see the Midway, the perform- ances on the Grand Stand and the other feature attractions, but the older folks who have seen Fairs come and go for years will be se- cretly enthused when they come to spend the day amidst the enter- tainment and colorful environment of this year's Oshawa Fair, So closely do the Fair and the circus resemble one another that all the wonders of the circus: will be much in evidence at the Oshawa Fair. Pink lemonade, Coney Is- land red hots, gas balloons, every- thing that delights the heart of the child will be on the grounds during those three days, There will be cattle and animals of every description, There will be funny clowns and music galore. There will be tents, and men selling ma- ma dolls, There will be every- thing there to make the young feel glad and 'the old feel gay.
