Altho Colby's riding academy has been in existence but a short time and also the fact that twenty-two horses are at the disposal of the riding puMic, Mr. Colby informs us that it was necessary for him to turn people away from his place last Sunday. The first horses left the stables about 5:30 o'elock that morning and from that time until late in the afternoon every horse was under saddle. While the week day business is not as good as it might be, Mr. Colby is now making arrangements whereby this condition may be bettered.' If present plans are carried out, -he will erect a tent or some other suitable shelter somewhere on Fox river in this city, where horses will be kept constantly. Arrangements are also under way whereby an auto bus service will be inaugurated between this city and the stables, which are located about a mile outside of the city limits, on the Woodstock road. In another year the owner of the academy expects to have at least a dozen more horses and will also make other improvements about the barns and stables which will add to the convenience of the place.

Prank Drowczski of Powers Lake was assessed a like sum, also on the grounds of having violated the prohibition laws. Max Lazzaroni of Lake Geneva was given the same dose in the Walworth county court for having illegal possession of liquor.

Since the arrival of the licenses it becomes necessary for everyone who desires to do fishing in the future to provide themselves with the necessary permits. Better get yours before you are eaught and thus place yourself subject to a fine. BIG CROWD IN TOWN LAST SUNDAY What proved one of the largest crowds of the summer season was in McHenry last Sunday. Many of the visitors drove to this city in machines with the expectation of' visiting the lotus beds via the McHenry passenger boats, but so large was the crowd last Sunday that not all could be accommodated. It is conservatively figured that no less than 500 people were in McHenry last Sunday to enjoy the river and lakes trip. HUNTER BOAT LINE Regular passenger boats at 9K)0 a. m. and 1:30 p. m.

On "Wednesday, Thursday and % Friday evenings a wonderful progsam will be given. Band concert^ vaudeville, free acts, spectacular fireworks, with the other attractions to be on the grounds, will entertain the thousands of people who will attend. Gordon's fireworks, made and fired by experts, will offer many new, novel and awe-inspiring thrills. Aerial waterfalls, floating festoons, fairy circles, radio bombs, comet effects, oriental umbrellas, floral bombe, creating immense bowers of poppies, roses and violets, and countless other magnificent pieces will be fired. A rooster fight, which shows It pair of barnyard tyrants in such vigorous action that the feathers literally fly, and that historic naval encounter of the recent war, the battle of Jutland will be among the many subjects to be reproduced in fireworks on the evening programs Thrilling Vaudeville Free Ada The free acts securtsd for the 1928 fair are of the best to be obtained. The Freehand Brothers, presenting a most satisfying offering of extraordinary head to head, hand balancing, in which most remarkable feats of equilibrium and strength are executed with ease, grace and artistic agility of amazing and diversified balancing, perfectly performed, including • shoulder perch fifteen feet high. With the Geddes trio, it is hard to find words that would be praiseworthy enough to qualify these excellent xomedy bar and cradle artists. They supply a thrilling exhibition of aerial stunts upon the high bars, which rivals any act of its kind in America. Two of the men of the trio also perform a cemedy acrobatic act, which never fails to get the crowd. Anyone who sees these two acts of the trio and does not think they are great should see his physician, as something is wrong. They never%ail to please any kind of an audience. The act presented by C. A. Smith is one of the best animal acts before the American public today. Mr. Smith wis formerly "head trainer" with the Ringling circus and is gifted with that "understanding" so necessary in the training of animals, either domestic or wild. Lack of space makes it impossible to enumerate each of the long list of tricks performed by his troupe of bears, dogs and monkeys.

This is the declaration of W. S. Anderson, in charge of the J. J. Dunnegan Construction company gang which is to build this stretch of road, upon which work has already been started. Mr. Anderson is now dividing his time between this and the Lake Bluff job, altho he has hopes of being able to put his entire gang upon the Mc- Henry-Volo stretch about the first of the month, at which time ' indications point to the completion of the Lake Bluff road. The Lake Bluff contmot was of about the same size as that of ours and when it is taken into consideration that work on this stretch was not started until June 28 one is given a fair idea as to the speed this company acquires in building cement roads. Approximately one hundred men «re employed on the lake shore stretch and it is the hope of the company to have equally as many if not more men engaged here. As stated in these columns two weeks ago, the work of grading and building of cement culverts between here and Volo has 'already been started and, while it has not been possible to release all of the machinery used in this part of the work from the Lake Bluff job, enough has found its way to the Volo end to insure rapid progress, and more equipment will be added as the work progresses. By September 1 the company will have its entire outfit on the McHenry road and thence on work will be rushed wijth all possible speed. The gravel for this stretch will be obtained on the Nick Weingart farm, where a $15,000 gravel washer, complete with screen and crusher, is now being installed.' An open well has already been sunk on the farm, which has developed a flow of 500 gallons per minute, thus assuring the company of plenty of water. According to estimates as •sade by the engineers, it will be necessary to move about 20,000 cubic yards of dirt before the road bed is in shape for the laying of cement. About a dozen culverts are to be built. In fact, some of these ore already completed. Up until this week about a dozen teams were employed, altho it was the plan of Mr. Anderson te add another six teams on Monday morning of this week, and ww presooM that this has been done. All of the equipment from the Lake Bluff job will be moved overland and it is expected that the gravel washer will be in full operation by Sept. 1. The cement will be hauled from the McHenry storage house located on the C. & N. W. right-of-way near the Northwestern hotel to the Weingart farm in twelve large and speedy trucks, which, when once in operation, will keep the road bed between these two points fairly hot. The Dun negan company, the headquarters of which are at Shenandoah, la., now has four contracts under construction, three in Illinois and one in New'York state. The Illinois contracts call for the construction of a total of sixty miles of cement road. The grading job on the McHenry- Volo stretch will be quite uniform, there being no real bad fiiis nor high hills to cut down, therefore the work should be carried on with good speed. As will be seen in our classified department in this week's issue, the company is already advertising for men and laborers in search of employment should make application to the company's camp on the Nick Weingart farm or address the company at McHenry. New Routes to BensAt McHenry The Plaindealer this week is in receipt of a pamphlet and road map describing and showing the proposed roads to be constructed from the $100,000,000 bond issue which was recently p>88ftd by the Illinois legislature and which will be submitted to the voters of Illinois for ratification on Nov. 4, 1924. The routes that will be of interest t6 McHenry people and which are described in said pamphlet are as follows: Route No. 50--Beginning •$ Volo and extending in a southeaiterTy direction to Lake Forest, affording Volo, Ivanhoe, Diamond Lake, Lake Forest and intervening communities reasonable conections with each other. Route No. 60--Beginning at the Wisconsin state line north of Richmond and extending in a southeasterly direction to the northerly city limits of Chicago, connecting Richmond, Ingleside, Wau#onda (running over route 59 between Ingleside and Wauconda), Lake Zurich, Park Ridge and interve^mg points.

PICTURE OF TELEPHONE GIRLS APPEAR IN CURRENT ISSUE OF ' f TELEPHONE NEWS The current number of the Bell Telephone News carries a very fine description of our city and river resort. Accompanying the interesting story of McHenry are excellent halftone productions from photographs as taken at the local exchange of the Illinois Beli Telephone company as well as scenes of and along Fox river. The telephone group of pictures include the telephone exchange building, the switchboard, the toll test board, the telephone operators and James T. Perkins, local repairman.

The officers and members of the club have been working out the details for the holding of the carnival for some time past and if the enthusiasm of those who are doing the work may be taken as a criterion for the things that are in store for those who attend this gay event, the guests will be afforded a rare treat. One of the big features of the carnival will be the supper which is to be served at six o'clock and for which a charge of $1.00 per plate will be made. There will be dancing and various other amusements and attractions that usually go to make up an event of this sort and the members of the society have extended a general invitation to the outside public to be their guests on this occasion. There will be no admission charge to .the pavilion. Remember the dots 4 place and plan to attend. ST. PATRICK'S FALL FESTIVAL THREE. AATS assortment Since the first announcement thru these columns that another, fall festival would be staged by the pastor and members of St. Patrick's Catholic church of this city, it has been decided to hold the festive event on three instead of only one day, the dates for the affair having been set for Saturday, Sunday and Monday, Sept. 1, 2 and 3. The various committee members, who have been working on the preliminaries for some time past, are out to make this year's festival the biggest and most successful ever held by St. Patrick's church. The event will take place at the McHenry park and all of the things that go to make up an occasion of this kind will be there. The big feature will be the giving away to two lucky individuals a Ford coupe and a choice building lot near LaGrange, 111., which has been so kindly donatefl to the church by Mr. and Mrs. John Schermann of Chicago, who for many years have been spending the summers at their cottage on Fox river near this city. McHENRY DEALERS TO DISPLAY THEIR MACHINES An auto show, which is to be held in connection with a big outdoor carnival to be held at the State Line park, be- j at the home of Mr tween Richmond and Genoa Junction, next week, has drawn the interest of a number of local dealers, who will have displays at the show. Among the local dealers who have contracted for space are John W. Schaffer, Monear & Phalin, Overton & Cowen, George A. Stilling and Wm. Schaefer. The machines to be exhibited by the McHenry men are: Chevrolet, Cleveland, Studebaker, Bukk, Hudson Essex, Star and Durant.

This is the first time that McHenry citizens have been fortunate enough to get into the movies and, no doubt, everyone will be anxious to see the film. We predict that the Em pire will be well packed next Tuesday night. on route 19 north of Algonquin and extending in a northerly direction to connect with route No. 60 south of Richmond, affording McHenry, Richmond and tiie intervening eoMsnnities reasonable connections.
