A tribe of real Sioux Indians are encamped inside the race track at the Putnam fair grounds, and they make a part’ of one of the most interesting features that will be seen at any fair in Connecticut this summer. Th with Kemp's Wild West show, which will give daily exhibitions during the Putnam fair of Aug. 31 and Sept. 1 and 2. No such attraction as this wonder- fully interesting aggregation of scouts, rough riders, Mexicans and Indians from the plains of the west has ever been seen at a fair in this part of the state. There are about ninety people with the show, and their camp, with fts picturesque Indian village, is a re- production of life on the plains. The Indiang in the party number thirty- five, and they are direct from the United States reservation for the tribe. During the fair the members of the Wild West show will daily give six big feature race track acts, including char- fot ‘races, Indian “horseback running race, and a wild race of all nations. Inside their big show tent a continu- ous performance of highly sensational features will be presented. The com- pany has been a great success this summer and whoever fails to see them at.the Putnam fair will miss one of the best attractions of the summer. ‘The Kudara imperial Japanese troupe of acrobats are also to give free exhibitions at the fair, and these ten marvels of the Orient are without question the greatest people in their line. This companygwas at the Hip- podrome In New York for twelve weeks last summer, and they came away with the knowledge that they had created a great furore in Gotham Agide from all the great vaudeville attractions and the exceptional presen- tation of a Wild West show in con- nection with an all-feature fair, the managers of the enterprise have plan- ned to make this fair a point of at- traction for those who love to see the horses go and the speed events will be of a nature to make the horsemen glad. The Putnam fair this year is to be the greatest ever. For particulars as to exhibits, excursion rates and the schedule of admissions, see advertise- ment in this issue. THE AUDITORIUM. The average person scarcely realizes the improvement made in motion pic- ture apparatus of late; only a very short time ago it was the custom for exhibitors to run the film from the machine into an ordinary waste bas- ket or sack, but the present day ma- cliines roll up the film into a Russia fron fireproof magazine, where it is wound tightly on~ a steel reel. The management of the Auditerium has installed this vear a machine which contains many new features, among which are the improved fire shutters, which do not allow any light to touch the film until it is moving at a certain gpeed. The gear wheels of this ma- chine are what are known as mitre gears, which insure steadiness of pic- ture and are noiseless in operation Thie machine is the latest approved by the New York board of fire underwrit- ers, the most exacting body of in- spectors In the country. The annoy- ance of the upper edge of the picture hitting the proscenium arch has been entirely eliminated, a special set of Jenses having been secured which ex- actly fit the curtain. The pictures, which will be the best the market af- fords, will be changed three times weekly, Mdnday, Wednesday and Fri- day, while the Iillustrated songs will be changed twice weekly. It _is also our aim in the future to, change the vaudeville twice weekly. This season we have set apart a certain section of | Jthe house for the accommodation of those who desire a reserved seat, for which an extra ten cents will be ehanged, but the greater part of the nouse, however, will remain unchanges In regard to price. The matinees will be one price to all, admitting to all parts of the house. The management has many surprises in store in the vaudeville line for the eoming season, as we have secured the services of one of the best vaudeville agents in New York to represent our interests. The opening bill, which can be found elsewhere in this paper. will doubtless glve unbounded satisfaction to all those attending. LINCOLN PARK. Fine Bill' for Next Week — Another Rocket Night. At the park next week Joe Burke, the singing comedian, will give his fa- mous Scotch character sketch on the style of Harry Lauder. Stewart and Deemond bid fair to be funny in “Co- hen the Cop.” Musical Heuhn is = musical comedian. understood to be capable of producing vocal fun of a high grder. Hodges and Laugnchmene are a smart and jolly black couple who do a character sketch full of lively songs and -new dances. Theodore and Camille La Jess are European novelty gymnasts, both doing some daring trapeze tricks, while the man is a con- tortionist and ties himself up in all sorts of knots and figures, The Sunday concert, with every seat in the housge free, starts in at 3.20. Next Thursday night will be another rocket night. The rockets that were sent up last Thursday night will be duplicated in greatly increased num- bers, The. last paid performance in Rustic | theater, Manager Cranston id yester- day in talking park with his press sgent, will be Saturday, Sept. 4. Next cay there will be a free concert, as ‘there is every Sunday. On_ three nights a week after Labor day and un- til further notice, he said, Prof. Baker will furnish music for dancing and the probability is that the fine September nights will see the park's visiting list augmented by the influx of good sized parties of dances from Norwich. BREED THEATER. of the U. S. A, Patriotic Motion Picture. Soldiers One thousand feet of motion picture is utilized in reproducing the life of the soldier now being shown at the Breed. The large number of persons present last evening to see this big sensation were highly gratified to see the truthfulness of the production, which covers all of the jmportant events in the ‘making of the soldier of the U. 8 A, from the reading of the alluring poster calling for recruits through all of the various incidents, including leaving home, training of th raw recriits, drilling or the awkward squad, a perfectly hilarious series of stunts, familiar to every militiaman, aany of the sports, as well as the ar- , UNSETTLED SUNDAY. - Somewhere is this city someone is yanting a Horse.

The exquisite bit of pastoral life en- titled The Country Doctor is a work of art. . The entire distance from the vil- lage to the doctor’'s home is covered by the picture machine, showing the glories of spring in the country, and after the action takes place the same road is covered again, but this time in a gpring rain.
