Montagna's Military Band, of Ocean View and Norfolk, and the Suffolk Community Band for the Grand Stand and track, Murphey's Concert Band of 18 pieces, and Prof. Eph. Williams, colored Jazz Band of 12 pieces for the Midway. Then there will be Radiophone concerts from the broad casting stations, Victrola music and Soloists in the Merchants Exhibit Tent. There are six free acts?one from Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, one from Luna Park, Coney Island; one from the N. Y. Hippodrome and three book ed independently. Every night there is a lavish dis play of Fireworks, worth coming miles to see, and the program is changed each night. Of racing there will be plenty. Three harness races daily and pony races for the boys and girls, and on Saturday fast and furious automo bile races with professional driven and special cars, the first ever held , in Suffolk. , / The Midway company is one of the five largest in the United States, with 12 big feature shows, five riding machines, autodrome, wild west, cow boys and cowgirls and genuine Texas steers, wild animal arena and num erous other attractions that will en tertain and amuse in a clean whole some way. Indications point to many entries of Live stock of all kinds and I be lieve every, pen and stall will be filled. I am urging every prospective exhibi tor tp get in their entry blanks before the 17th so we will be able to handle the business with despatch. Excursion rates will apply on all railroads and we are making special arrangements for parking the ma chines of those who travel in autof. I have no hesitancy in saying that this fair will be one of the banner attractions of Eastern Virginia and we will do all we can to take best possible care of visitors."
