Wonderful dance numbers on the ice by the chorus, Davy Croc kett and animal skits delighted the kids and adults alikb.

It was, in the opinion of the visitors, one of the most captivat ing features seen at any fair. Irish Moran and his Hell-Driv ers put their cars through a va riety of difficult driving feats to close the show for the newsmen. Slipping, slidding, and racing motors, the Hell-Drivers put on a thrill show unequaled by any past performances here. To end this thrilling perform ance, one of the drivers, assisted by jet take off units, literally shot himself and his car from a cannon. The show went off with no mis haps of any kind, and Moran pointed out that driving skill in stead of luck is responsible for the safety of his drivers.
