several weeks looking over their pro

a
THE BIG CARNIVAL.
Perhaps one of the best-known and
most popular showmen on the Ameri
can continent at the present time is
Nat Reiss, the carnival king of the
west, who will supply the amusement
of the street fair and agricultural
hibit in Twin Falls next week.
Judging from the press of Salt Lake
and Ogden, where the
ex
„ company sup
plied the amusements for the State
Fair and Big 4 county fair, respec
tively, Nat Reiss has this season the
largest aggregation of carnival fea
tures that have ever appeared In the
west.
There are in excess of three hun
dred people with the company, and it
requires a special train to transport
them from town to town.
Judging from the interest displayed
by the people of this vicinity in the
street fair and agricultural exhibition,
it will be the biggest affair of Its kind
that has ever taken place in this city.
There are fifteen shows with the
company this year In addition to the
old fashioned one ring circus, and the
free attractions are of the dare devil
sensational, death defying order.
Chief among the free act that will
be presented on the street twice a day
will be the double high dive by a cou
ple of small dogs. These little can
ines climb to the top of a seventy
five foot ladder and at the crack of
the pistol in the hands of their mas
ter they dive into the net below. But
without a doubt the premier Act of the
company is Volo in his sensational
bicycle act.
This exhibition is of the death defy
ing order and every time that Dare
Devil Volo makes this ride he virtually
takes his life in his hands. Among
the many shows with the company
this year might be mentioned the
Merry Widow girls, introducing a bevy
of handsome young ladies in musical
comedy, Wallace the man eating Hon,
The Minstrels or the Sunny South be
.v.*:*: .•/«•;•: ttfn >
fore the war. Lunette the lady who
flies, floats and dances in mid-air. It
is said of this show that the manager
has to attach weights to this young
lady during the time the exhibition is
not in progress in order to hold her
to terra flrma. This is one of the most
mystifying, as well as one of the most
attractive on the entire midway.
There will also be seen Salome,
dancing before the head of John the
Baptist, Pickinauny, the little pony
with the human brains, who does
everything but actually talk. This lit
tle fellow is the pet of the children
wherever the company shows, and
they attend his performance time an
again. One of the features of the car
nival this year will be the carry-us
us-all. This amusement divice is built
on the nature of the old fashioned
merry-go-round, but for fun, sport and
amusement, head and shoulders above
the old design.
Instead of the horses on the carry
us.all being stationary as in ^ie old
time riding device, they are all of the
jumping variety, and are a distinct
novelty in every way.
It is a certainty that when the im
mense tented city is set up in Twin
Falls, the people of this locality will
experience something in the amuse
ment line the like of which they have
never seen before, and it is a fore-gone
conclusion that the largest number
of people ever seen in the city at one
time will be on the streets during the
stay of the carnival company. Rates
of one fare for the round trip will be
in effect on the railway for the Mini
doka branch, and the slogan for the
entire week will be (Fun for every
body.)
