Show COMING OF THE WIZARD HaHJm-Ai, tho mighty Wizard o the Wasatch, Wa-satch, is to visit tho city again next month and the business men, through their organization of tho Wards of the Wizard of the Wasatch, are planning a celebration to eclipse all previous efforts ef-forts in honor of the Wizard and Queen Sirrah. The dates this year are August 25 to AugUBt 29, inclusive, and the excellence of the attraction, with the low railroads rates that will be in effect on all tho roads, will doubtless bring a record crowd to the city. There will be two appearances of the great Electrical Pageant parade, which will havo sixteen six-teen floats. The other parades will be the Military, Mili-tary, Fraternal, Industrial and Civic parade and the Automobile Floral parade. Elaborate and costly street decorations and illumination have been planned and there will be a wealth of music by bands from "Utah and Idaho. The Wizard's carnival groundB on the Auerbach field, State and Broadway, will have tho best and liveliest attractions obtainable in the country. A new feature this year, which will be made a regular annual event hereafter, will be tho Wizard's Roundup at the State Fair grounds. This promises to be the greatest entertainment of the kind ever seen here. A band of Indians from Idaho and hundreds of the most noted men and women riders of the country will contend with the "outlaw" bronchos and wild horses, in bucking matches, novel races and difficult equestrian eques-trian sports and diversions. The business community is behind tho carnival car-nival stronger than ever this year and their sup; port, supplementing the activities of the officers and directors of the Wizard's organization, assures as-sures a week of rare diversion for the people of Utah and its neighboring states. |
