CONFIDENCE IN THE BOARD. Dr. Joheston's confidence in the Fair Board was justified in that they disclaimed knowledge of the immor- alities presented by the side shows and promptly ordered three of theist 06 the grounds, for breach of con- tract. Greater care will be exercised In the futUre. The Board has had its oyes opened as to what may be expected when low theatres ave al- lowed to run. Lacking any real abil- ity or merit, they depend for their custom on an appeal to the bestial side of human nature. We may expect next year to find the London Midway rightly censored and therefore free from inner -tent performances, to which "men only" are invited. "' Referring to the above the London News says (in part) editorially:— '"rhe side show attractions which were in operation at the Western Fair during the past week Were the most disgraceful ever presented in London, perhaps in Ontario. There should be no place in a large agri- cultural and industrial exhibition for any of those theatrical side show attractions.
