THE CHARLOTTETOWN- GUARDIAN

Our Fair furnishes a meeting place for old time friends. There you will see schoolboy and school girl acquaintanc- es of years ago- Friendships will be renewed and happy memories o_f the past brought back and lived over again. Our Fair will bring you back the days “when you dream- ed the dream of a boy,

Before you learned the world and its ways And life was one round of joy.

It will bring you a vision of old time friends. A hand shake and How-do-ye-do,

One hour of it will make amends

For the pain of a whole life through.”

Yl-IORSE SHOW

Thousands viewed our initial Horse Show last year in our new Horse Arena in front of Grand Stand. They liked the beautifully turned out horses _and well trained lady and gentlemen riders of the Charlottetown Riding Club.

.This year there will be more competition as the Halifax Riding Club have entered 16 of their best horses and they will come over accompanied by owner-riders. It will_truly be a sporting competition de luxe. Do_ not fail to see the beautifully groomed horses with their equipment spic and span, and the lady and gentlemen riders turned out perfectly, each striving to catch the judges eye and win the coveted red ribbon. Upwards of 60 horses, the largest number ever entered in a Maritime Horse Show, will take part.

The ring will be brilliantly lit, the lighting having been stepped up to 22,000 candle power, by far the greatest illumination east of Montreal.

A. special program will be issued giving in detail the classes that will be Judged each evening. A sound system will also carry announce- ments from the ring so that everyone will know enactly what is going on there. ‘

MUSICAL RIDE

The Horse Show every evening will conclude with a Musical Ride, one of the most popular numbers at any military pagent where mounted men take part. It will be performed by 16 members of the Prince Edward Island Light Horse uniformed in scarlet and blue and carrying lances. It will be the full dress uniform similar to that worn by the 6th Royal Lancers. A topping sight we would say.

OANAlllAll LEGION BAND

The Canadian Legion Band are a group of musicians that have had a great many years’ experience and most of them have been trained under high class band masters in Canada and England. They were highly complimented last year by the Manager of the Queens of the Air. This year they have gone to a great deal of trouble to prepare a program for our Exhibition that will please our public. We believe you will like the music they will furnish and enjoy every number they

FIREWORKS

Who does not enjoy Fireworks ‘I Think back to the days of your youth when you were so proud to have the privilege of setting oiT even a small firecracker. Last year we made a start with Fireworks, put considerable money into them and drew big crowds and pleased them with the display.

This season we have put more money into Fireworks and can truthfully say on the best of authority that it is the ﬁnest program ever given in the Maritimes, It will start with imitations of Big Bertha shells and follow up with a program that will hold your attention from start to ﬁnish. May we mention a few of the high lights of this display.

The Management of the Provincial Exhibition have always made it a point to procure the best in the way of Vaudeville entertainment for their patrons. This year is no exception. We have taken a great deal of pains and spared no expense to select what we believe and are assured by George A. Hamid, Americzfs greatest Vaudeville Agent, to be the best ever offered to a Prince Edward Island audience. Y ' These acts will appear twice daily, afternoons‘ and evenings, in front of the Grand Stand. ln the evening the stage will be lit by four 1,500 candlepower flood lights, which will make it as bright as day. It, together with the lighting of the Horse Show Arena—22,000 candlepower -will be the greatest illumination east of Montreal. ,

Our acts are unique, thrilling and fascinating to watch._ _In the afternoons between the heats of the Horse Races and in the evenings in conjunction with the Horse Show, the Vaudeville Program will be’ ﬁtted in. -
