Many circus performers who Ire wintering in Chicago were secured-, and |> circus was announced by regular bona b circus posters. Although it was an in- fer affair, it was an immense success, and- la more like a real circus than many of " tented shows. Khe Commercial Club, of Lewiston, Idaho, tently passed resolutions, which'.-were in pstance as foMows: Tnat a fair be neld |>ut Oct. 15, 1900; that the expenses be de- yed by donations from county, city, busi- - men and privileges; that grounds be i. exhibits secured, premiums offered; |t amusements be provided, etc. The board gently means business, and have taken an ' jly start, which argues well for the success : undertaking. ■he Los Angeles Industrial Exposition- Is te held at Hazard's Pavilion, from Feb. 20 tfarch 13, 1900, inclusive. Besides the tex- and manufactured products of the city, t re wHI be a citrus fair and an exhibit of ; mineral resources of Southern California. *ie of the novel features of the Portland; -J.) Exposition- was the war museum for _ benefit of Ore fund being raised to erect monument to the memory of :•the Oregon ■bnteers who lost their lives in the service •"-eir country. The receipts resulting from Concessions, 1898 Concessions, 1899 Increase" S 103.94 From this it may be seen that the exposi- tion did not receive the patronage it should, 'but the non-attendance may be laid to the door of the two weeks of bad weather during the fair. However, the exposition certainly gave an- excellent entertainment, and man- aged to pay ttoe subscribers 27 per cent, of their money back, besides donating money to worthy charities—which is very satisfactory to. everybody. The catalogue of the Northern Illinois Poul- try Association Show, to be held at Belve- dere, Jan: 15 to 19. has reached this office. A grand prize of *20 In go!d and many other - valuable premiums are offered. We also note that the premium list bas exceptionally good advertising patronage. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS! We are I.
