BIG FREE MIDWAY. 

 The Buffalo Outside Attraction Increas- 

 es In Popularity. 

 large; attendance. 



The merry Big Free Midway is the 

 magnet that is attracting thousands of 

 pleasure seekers who -come again and 

 again finding at each visit something 

 new and interesting. This Midway 

 has become a resort for people who 

 seek innocent amusement and its prices 

 are within the reach of the most hum- 

 ble. 



It is located at the terminal station, 

 north of the Exposition proper. 



The performances are presented on a 

 scale of magnificence never before at- 

 tempted at free street shows. The at- 

 tendance has averaged 17500 daily 

 since the opening, six weeks ago. 



Among the most notable of the one 

 hundred big shows are the Streets of 

 Cairo, Sing Sing Prison, Idols of Art, 

 Streets of India, Trained Animal Expo- 

 sition, German Village, White Top 

 Palm Garden, Heaven and Hell, Gypsy 

 Camp, Persian Beauty Show, Palais de 

 la Danse, Arctic Cave and Athletic Au- 

 ditorium. 



So much has been said and printed 

 about Midways and street fairs that it 

 would seem to the casual observer that 

 little more remains to be said. But 

 the more careful student of methods 

 and modes of amusing the public rea- 

 lizes that as long as Midways continue 

 to be popular, so long will there be a 

 large variety of topics to discuss about 

 them. That street fairs are beneficial 

 is no longer questioned.
